For a bird's eye view across Perth's cityscape and river, take a helicopter flight or head to Kings Park. Kings Park is Perth's pride and joy, presenting a mix of untouched bushland, botanic gardens, walkways and grassy lawns. It hosts an impressive worldclass wildflower display during the spring months as well as outdoor concerts, movies, plays, picnics and free barbecue areas in an unsurpassed natural setting. It also offers the visitor stunning views of the riverscape from the Federation Walkway - a 'natural' elevated walkway built along the scarp and snaking through indigenous forest.
Within minutes of the city centre are Perth's world-famous beaches, boasting great swimming and surfing conditions and clean white beach sand. There are nineteen to choose from! Some, such as Scarborough and Trigg Beach are great for surfing, and others, like Cottesloe with its beachside cafes, are ideal for families.
