Very instructive and educational visit, lots of references on the history of WA gold rush, you can watch a live gold pour, touch a gold bullion, see some of the most beautiful gold nuggets I´ve ever seen on display. Nice visit and appropriate duration and calibrated content.

Please note, due to low water levels, there are currently no row boats at Yanchep National Park. Whether you‘re looking for a day trip near Perth or a quick stop on your journey to the Pinnacles or further north, Yanchep National Park (just 45 minutes north of Perth city) provides you the opportunity to experience kangaroos, koalas, limestone caves and Aboriginal culture in a natural setting. Enjoy a game of golf on our 9 hole natural course, book your special occasion in our purpose made Cabaret Cave, walk along one the park’s trails (ranging in distance from 500mtrs to 55kms), enjoy a picnic in the natural surrounds or savor your appetite at one of the dining facilities located in the park.

We arrived before the park opened but you are still allowed in. We saw amazing wading birds, pelicans and others. Also vivid blue wrens. The koala walk was great too and enabled us to see these animals in close proximity. Well tended gardens made for a lovely early morning walk.
3. Fremantle Prison
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 4,057 reviews
Fremantle Prison is one of Western Australia’s premier tourist attractions and the only World Heritage listed building in the State.The Prison was built by convicts in the 1850s and was used as a place of incarceration for almost 140 years. With solitary cells and gallows Fremantle Prison is a monument to a system of punishment that is uncomfortably recent. Fremantle Prison now holds the key to history, mystery and fun. Step inside and do time with experienced guides on a fascinating Prison Day Tour. Explore the labyrinth of tunnels 20m beneath the Prison by foot and by boat on a Tunnels Tour adventure. Feeling brave? Delve into the darker side of the Prison’s history on an eerie Torchlight Tour.

We had Chris for our True Crime Tour and Janine for our Torch Light tour which were both really good and worth doing. The True Crime tour talks about crimes committed but does not go in to too much detail and therefore is not gross. If you want to hear more about the Claremont case I can recommend the Crime Junkie pod cast which has an episode on the case... This does however go in to a fair amount of detail and would not be recommended for under 16s. The Torch Light tour is good and a very different experience again. A little scary at times but great fun and interesting history on the place.

St Mary's Cathedral is the largest house of worship in Perth. It began life in 1865 and remains the seat of the Catholic Archbishop of Perth. It's in Victoria Square and it's well worth seeing. Conducted tours are held every Tuesday from 10:30 am to 11:45am. A modest donation is requested. St Mary's is built in Gothic Revivlal style, with an appropriae modern addition.

It is one of the most prominent landmark in Rottnest Island and it has great views from the top of the hill. If you are unfit, I recommend the hop-on bus. Lather plenty of sunblock, unless you plan to get a tan.

Quite an interesting place to visit. Lots of colour and noise. We took a short walk to bathers beach and south mole to watch a container ship come in. Lots of eateries and breweries nearby. A bonus is the bon scott statue.

Best place if you would like to ride a camel in the jungle. (Bit expensive though) Staff was very friendly and holds loads of knowledge about what they are doing. Camels were super great friendly and obedient. I had my 7 months old baby with me riding the camel. Toilets are available Keep you go pro with you as riding a camel In the jungle means alot of adventure Loads and loads of flies which is a bit irritating. Have your net cap on and u can enjoy the fullest Little farm is also available there consisting of coockatoo, EMU, hens , ducks etc. staff allow you yo feed EMU.
8. Fraser Avenue Lookout

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.
