Animals include frilled lizards, crocodiles, alligators, echidnas, wallabies, kangaroos, African Savannah lions and rhinos. Alongside the animals, there are a number of attractions aimed at children to ensure an understanding of conservation issues as well as getting the most out the experience.
Aquarium of Western Australia: is located in a delightful setting at Hillary’s Harbour. Visitors can walk through a transparent tunnel surrounded by fish. If you are lucky, you will be able to watch the divers feeding sharks by hand. Other animals not to miss are the saltwater crocodiles and the sea dragons.
Kings Park: is situated on top of Mount Eliza. From here, spectacular vistas across the city can be enjoyed. More than 1700 beautiful trees and plants create a lovely shaded area that provides a number of picnic spots and places to connect with nature.
Fremantle: Perth's port district can be reached by car, bus or train. It isn’t far from the city but has its own identity and is regarded as a pleasant relaxed seaside town, home to a number of cafes, bars and restaurants as well as the exciting atmosphere of the Fremantle market.
Perth Mint: is the oldest Australian mint that is still operational. It was founded in 1899 to make gold coins for the British Empire. Visitors are able to view gold nuggets, precious coins and molten gold which is used to make gold bars in the mint’s original melt house. There are guided tours to help you appreciate the history of the mint. The Perth Mint shop sells souvenirs as well as unusual gold jewellery or you can make your own personalised gold or silver medallions.
London Court: is located right in the heart of the city. Surrounded by sky scrapers, this part of the city between Hay street mall and St George’s terrace, is reminiscent of the England in Tudor times. There are two charming clocks at either end of the street which is lined with quaint shops and cafes. Statues of Sir Walter Raleigh, Dick Whittington, mouldings, wind vanes and many other sights can be enjoyed here.
Old Blythewood: is a traditional home in which a family of pioneers used to live. Built in the 1860s, the house is still furnished the way it used to be reflecting the lifestyle of the early pioneers. Other pioneering items from around the Murray district are also on display in this fascinating site.
Woodbridge House: once belonged to Charles Harper, an Australian parliamentary member in the 1800s. The house was built in 1885 and contains much of its original furniture, paintings, photographs and antiques. The stables have been converted into a cafe known as The Coach House Tea Rooms.
