What to do and see in Perth, Western Australia: The Best Traveler Resources

May 16, 2022 Brandee Mangan

Perched on the banks of the wide Swan River, between the Indian Ocean and the sands of the Nullarbor Desert, Perth is one of the world's most isolated cities, yet still boasts an active beach scene and smokin’ nightlife. Family-friendly Cottesloe is brimming with swimmers, surfers and snorkelers. Head north to Scarborough for a spirited beachside club scene. Coo at cute marsupials on ferry-accessible Rottnest Island, and don’t miss the views from King's Park and Botanic Gardens.

City of Perth Library

Reviewed By Aussie252 - Perth, Australia

It’s an interesting building from the outside, centrally located and easy to get to. The interior is just as pleasing. Spacious, airy, light filled and inviting. I often visit to read the wide variety of papers and exchange library books. I wander in intent on a quick visit and a couple of hours later reluctantly leave. A great range of books, magazines and papers located over several floors. I won’t go into detail on what’s available as you can get that from the website- but staff are very helpful. The ground floor coffee shop is good too.

The State Library of Wesern Australia (SLWA) is a research, reference and lending library. You must have a SLWA membership ticket, which is limited to residents of WA, to borrow books. The computers can be ued by visitors. The library is very comfortable, far better than the old one. The Battye Library specialises in WA history, it is a boon for people reserching WA history. The SLWA is in Northbridge, it's easy to find.

We came here on a very hot day to work out things to do on our week in Perth, we were welcomed by the cool air conditioning and the very friendly staff, we were attended to straight away even though they were busy and the lovely lady who helped us gave plenty of ideas which we ending up booking the seafood experience on Rottnest Island, which was amazing. Lots of info, local souvenirs and room to sit and take your time. Enjoyable visit to an informative place. Thanks to the lovely lady who assisted us on the 2nd of December in the morning, sorry don't remember her name.
