Sweeping unspoilt beaches |
City Beach Perth, WA 6015 Australia +61 8 9483 1111 |
Swim, sun-bake and saunter along one of Perth's busiest beaches. City Beach is only a 15-minute drive from central Perth, thus is popular with inner city dwellers. This is an unspoilt stretch of beach protected by sand dunes and a buffer zone park that separate it from the West Coast Highway and residential areas. The Coastal Walk and Cycle Way start here and run all the way north to Hillarys Boat Harbour. In addition, the Scenic Coastal Route begins here and follows the coast north. Amenities include picnic areas, toilets and showers. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Wildlife in nature |
Flynn Street Wembley Perth, WA 6014 Australia +61 (0)8 9387 6079 http://www.calm.wa.gov.au |
Encounter birds and other native fauna while walking through the vibrant Herdsman Lake Regional Park. The wildlife centre, opened in 1984, is the main building in the park and has a wonderful mezzanine viewing level with binoculars. Opportunities abound to spot a variety of native and exotic birds. The centre also has a series of aquariums with a range of reptiles and other creepy crawlies plus an excellent educational natural history section. This park has some fantastic walkways and there are some superb picnic spots. Review © 2007, Wcities |
