What to do and see in Perth, Western Australia: The Best Things to do Good for Big Groups

May 4, 2022 Sheron Bogner

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.

The University of Western Australia

Reviewed By 619jeffry - Essendon, Australia

Lectures began at the University of Western Australia (UWA) in 1913, making it the first -- and for may years only -- degree granting institution in WA. The "campus at Crawley" is picturesque. UWA is situated on the banks of the Swan River. The grounds are quite beautiful. They include the Sunken Garden and the Somerville Auditorium, a cinema formed by trees that is cool on Peth's hot summer nights.. UWA has educated the elite of WA for many years, including almost every Rhodes Scholar. UWA is well worth a viist, including the campus hub, the grand Winthrop Hall.

St. George's Cathedral

Reviewed By Q7840EUdanl - Bunbury, Australia

I had visited some years ago but a first for my wife. Beautiful structure in the English Gothic Revival style and dating to 1879 and consecrated in 1888. Since then there have been various additions, the Tower in 1902, Burt Memorial Hall in 1948, Soldiers Chapel in 1923, West Gallery and new organs in 1993. All additions are blended beautifully with the original structure. Internal treasures include the Baptismal Font, Statue of St George, the Pulpit of Normandy stone, the High Altar, and the Brass Eagle Lectern. It would be remiss of me not to mention the magnificent stained glass windows. Above all, it is a place of worship, a place to stand a while and reflect.
