Fraser Avenue Lookout

Reviewed By tonimcallen - Fremantle, Australia

Fraser Avenue Lookout is in Perth's King's Park, one of the most popular and famous tourist attractions in Perth. The reasons will be clear when you visit. Not only do you get the best views of Perth city and the Swan River but there are botanical gardens to wander through and guided tours with detailed information about local flora, fauna and culture. Fraser Avenue Lookout is on the edge of King's Park which is set high on a hill overlooking the Perth city centre and the Swan river that flows alongside the city. Most tour buses will stop here and if hiring a car there are parking facilities in the area. The lookout is what it says it is - a place from which you look over the city but it is within walking distance of a restaurant, cafe, gift shop and information centre from where you book guided tours. There are also garden beds with local flora within easy walking distance. Fraser Avenue Lookout is an absolute must see for any visitors to Perth. I have lived in Perth most of my life and I still never tire of visiting this place.

Crawley Edge Boatshed

Reviewed By KylieIsTravelling - Perth, Australia

Commonly known as the Boat shed at Crawleys, this is a hugely spot for tourists looking to take photos in front of the blue boat shed (yes, it’s blue, not red as another reviewer commented - it’s always been blue!). From the western side of the coastal bike and walking track, you can get a picture of the boat shed with Perth city in the background, although you may need to be patient to wait for the many tourists wanting to take photos and selfies in front of the boat shed. The timber walkway to the boat shed was closed for a period of time, and I can happily report it’s been reopened for a while, allowing you to get up close to the boat shed. Note: You can’t access the boat shed, it’s purely a photo opportunity with amazing views.
