  • Hi, I'm visiting Australia for the first time and will spend 4 days in beautiful Perth. In this video I will visit Rotnest island, Heirisson Kangaroo Sanctuary, the CBD of Perth and Kings Park Botanic Garden. This video may give you some ideas for your Perth itinerary.

      Err.. I think you might be going off a misleading metric there. For instance, New York City has 8 million strictly living within the densely compact section of urban build-up that happens to be inside the New York State boundary. However, its entire metropolitan population (which includes its spillover urban build-up into neighbouring States) is in fact closer to 20 million.
      There's atleast ten Combined Statistical Areas (CSA's) in the US that have a bigger population than Sydney. Not trying to be a smart arse. Just pointing out a fact that a lot of people tend to get mixed up with. Even I don't fully grasp it. But Perth would definitely not be among the top half-dozen biggest US cities, that's for sure.

      It all depends in where you’ve come from & what you can do there. When you grow up with something you often don’t really “ see”, but take for granted.
      I’m sure Europeans don’t get it when Aussies get all enthused about 400
      Year old, narrow laned “ Old Towns” in their cities.
      As far as ksngaroos go & the bush generally, the more you learn about the flora & fauna & spend time out in it over every season the more you comprehend its uniqueness. Look deeper my friend. But I do agree that the last decades worth of “ new buildings”
      In Perth are pretty generic & Elizabeth Key heavily overdeveloped ruining what had been an iconic parkland bordered river frontage. 😟

I first went to Perth in 1969 for a sailing championship and we drove from Cairns and this was when the Nullabor was 320 miles of dirt road. Since then, I have driven the Nullabor another 6 times and it has never bored me. I really love the South-West Corner of the state the best, having travelled around it in my campervan many time. My favourite place is Lucky Bay. I'm off to Perth again on March 23 for my neice's hubby's 50th. I have two neices who live in WA, one in North Dandalup and one in Narrowgin.

      As the video poster stated, flights are cheap between Indonesia and Perth. Cheaper for us to get there than the East Coast, and far cheaper while we're there. Whilst this is good fun for Perth locals, I do think that simple fact isolates us a lot more than people realise from the East Coast. I think I spent less on my last trip to Thailand than my last trip to Sydney. That might not be great for National unity. And I don't know how to change it. Jet fuel costs what it costs, and you can't coerce East Coast hotels to give Westralians cheaper rates. So we remain estranged cousins.

    Welcome to WA which is the 2nd largest "State" on the planet covering 2,530,000 sq Km with coastline stretching some 13,000kms (excluding islands or 21,000kms including islands coastline) The city of Perth covers 6,500 sq kms and Perth City coastline stretches 150kms with amazing beaches that are up there with the worlds best with pure white soft sand and the blue indian ocean (no pollution and no litter and no crowds to annoy you). Perth is like being on a permanent holiday as access is easy. East coast is nice but heaps busier as much more population which results in major traffic like all larger cities.
    The west also gets amazing sunsets over the Idian ocean as you will find out.
    What you have explored is only a very tiny snippet of the city and WA so hope you get a chance to see more.

I have been to many beaches in Australia and internationally and have seen nothing that compares to it.

    I’ve lived in Australia on the East Coast for nearly 20 years and I still get mind blown when I see kangaroos. It’s crazy how big wild animals like them just hang out in our street at night.
    I went to work one morning, start early at 5am, walked out of my front door at 3:45am and nearly crapped myself because there’s this monster Roo standing on the front lawn nibbling the grass. It was at least the same height as me and I’m 6”2

      It can be somewhat deserted because we have a huge amount of passive underutilized public space that doesn't draw people into the focal points anywhere near as well as they should. Exasperated by obscene amounts of very low density nondescript suburban sprawl. Which is harder to create a critical mass of community identity and spirit, so by and large we have a very atomized population. Unfortunately a lot of people aren't motivated enough to leave their suburb or for some, their homes.
      The city also grew in fits and starts, and was the smallest of mainland state capitals by a fair margin pre WW2. So Perth never had the scale of pre car-centric inner mixed zone density that a Sydney or Melbourne had/has, or even Adelaide. Perth's growth took off post WW2 which unfortunately meant postwar mono-purpose planning schemes and a city designed for cars rather than people. There was also wide Architectural vandalism in the 60s-70s with the demolition of Perth's many character rich Gold Rush and Federation era grand old buildings, replaced by alienating internationalist style and brutalist eyesores. Still Perth has many great features but because of bad luck with the timing of growth bursts and car-centric planning, it's not the most lively city, or have a strong civic identity. Yet it's mostly clean, attractive enough, comparatively safe, good for families.

      The Vines definitely. As well if you have transport a drive up to Yanchep National Park 40 mins north of the city is another good place to see wild life. True story in Dec 23 I took a work colleague from Mongolia up there to see Kangaroos and Koalas. We saw Koalas up close in the enclosure there although they are often up the trees there. But looking for Kangaroos because it was a hot day in the high 30's (noting Perth has a dry heat no humidity usually) there was not a kangaroo in sight. They were all under bushes and trees somewhere out of sight. A bit disappointed we went to have a cold drink (Beer in my case) at the Yanchep Inn that is right in the middle of the park. When we sat down in the Beer Garden ( an outside al fresco area in Pubs) at a table our guest noticed something moving in a bush 2 metres from where we were sitting and it turns out it was a mother Kangaroo laying down resting with her Joey (baby Kangaroo) playing next to her! So the mother Kangaroo thought it was a good place to hide in the Pub! We then sat and enjoyed the live outside entertainment at the pub while it got later and cooler and soon we saw about 30 Kangaroos outside of the pub on the grass coming out to graze.

In Perth there are paid places to visit such as the Zoo, Kahuna Wildlife Park etc. For free kangaroo siting in a natural setting -visit Pinnaroo Cemetery (free to the public during daytime hours) and maybe Joondalup reserve near the free Bar Be Que area.

I remember Perth from a motorcycle road trip across the Nullabor on the then recently opened (1978) Eyre Highway. I recall riding into Perth at night with a couple of mates. The city lights back then were most impressive. I particularly loved south west corner of Western Australia in the mighty hard wood forests with 270 foot Karri trees. I was camping & once parked my bike inside a burned out stump just to measure its width. It was three lengths of my SR500cc Yamaha - a massive stump. That was a lifetime ago... glad you liked the place, I'd now like to see it again. Thanks for your lovely video. Cheers from Sydney, AU. P.S. I rode across the continent and saw lots of road kill kangaroos but no live ones until I got back to Broken Hill (N.S.W.) where I nearly ran into a mob of roos crossing the road.

My first job out of school was in South Hedland from Perth, and that place could nearly put anyone off travelling forever. But, you find the right people and places to hang, and the local's secrets, and it's actually cool AF. The best place in the world is nearly always where your friends and loved ones are. So make good friends wherever you go, and you'll always find opportunities for good times. Make the effort to keep in touch with the friends you make along the way.
