Bibbulmun Track

Western Australia's only long-distance walk trail is a world-class, 963 kilometre trek that stretches from Kalamunda to Albany. Hike the entire trail without ever leaving it - camping at shelters along the way.


Federation Walkway

Roam for 620 metres through a flourishing canopy of majestic grey gum trees, enjoying million-dollar views of Kings Park's botanical gardens and natural bushland more than 50 metres below.

 


Munda Biddi Bike Trail

Cycle through vast, unspoiled forest surrounded by towering eucalypts, fresh air and ancient bushland between Perth and Dwellingup. The 332 kilometre stretch takes around seven days of pedal power, with cyclists able to rest and replenish in purpose-built campsites.

 


Swan River foreshore

Take a leisurely stroll or cycle along the gleaming Swan River, with a dual cycleway/walk trail offering commanding views of the city skyline and Kings Park. Be sure to visit the stunning Swan Bells at Barrack Square.

 

Sunset at Cottesloe Beach
Watch a Sunset from Cottesloe Beach

Western Australia is famous for its sunsets over the Indian Ocean -take in the searing peach-coloured sky from Cottesloe's pristine coastline and smooth terraced lawns. Afterwards, grab some fish and chips, take an evening dip or enjoy a drink at the local pub.

 


John Forrest National Park

Hike the walk trails, pack a picnic or marvel at waterfalls, gentle pools, rugged granite outcrops and spectacular vistas of the Swan Coastal plain.

 


Fish off the Jetty at Palm Beach

Head to Rockingham and drop a line in the clean aquamarine waters of Palm Beach, or be mesmerized by the friendly dolphins that regularly cavort nearby.

 


Go Crabbing in Peel Inlet

There's nothing quite like succulent, fresh-caught blue manna crab, so drop a net in the crystal-clear and crab-packed and enjoy the spoils with a seafood feast.

 

Black Swan
Go Bird Watching at Lake Monger

Just 10 minutes from the city, Lake Monger is home to thousands of magnificent waterbirds including the black swan - the emblem of Western Australia.

 


Climb the DNA Tower in Kings Park

Enjoy panoramic views of the city skyline, Swan River, Darling Scarp and Indian Ocean from this winding climb, which is the highest point in Kings Park. Prepare to puff - the tower is 15 metres high and has 101 steps!
