I spent 6 beautiful years in Perth from 2007 to 2012. those years were definitely the highlight of my life. I got my bachelor's degree from Murdoch. stayed on campus on south St. most of those years. I cannot tell you enough how much I learned living in Perth and the cultural diversity that made me think again about my perceptions about the world. Aussie people and their beautiful simplicity and friendliness (they drink a lot and can be tough :) but they still social and don't make you feel stranger). After all those years and still feels like Perth is living inside me with all the old memories of northbridge night outs, Fremantle fish & chips dates, Coogee beach, Margret river trips, Kings Park new year's eve celebrations, swan river foundation day fireworks with old friends, and many more. it will always remain as beautiful memories for the rest of my life I am sure. I wish you guys health and prosperity. Perth is a beautiful place and I will surely visit again one day! with Love, from Riyadh Saudi Arabia

Can go on a river cruise say, from the Elisabeth Quay up the Swan river to the valley, with lunch and wine. Or down the river to Freo (btw ACDC lovers would know there's a Bon Scott live size statue overthere) There's an awesome attraction near Mandurah called Abingdon village - it is a beautiful miniature park with replica scale models, rail, rose gardens, mazes, minigolf and English tea rooms. And Mandurah estuary often has dolphins splashing around :) Agree with other comments about Cottesloe Beach being overrated. I'd pick any other beach over it (e.g. Mettams pool is a good one if you have small kids)

Whitford nodes beach, just up the road a bit from hilarys is the best for families imo. Carpark, walk through to extensive parks and play areas, a number of bbq areas, community toilets, then just over the hill is the beach. You can easily split your time between the two.

Sadly, you can no longer go to the Claremont Speedway, as I did on a pilgrimage from the UK in 1981. It closed in 2000 to be replaced by...nothing. RIP Claremont.

[@stephenvelden295]

There is a new Speedway at the Perth Motorplex, along with a Drag Strip.

[@johnturner1073]

@@stephenvelden295 Thanks for the reply. Claremont, though, was an iconic speedway (due to its size and longevity) and a treasured ''tick off'' for track globetrotters, along with the original Sydney Showground and the Ekka in Brisbane. I was very fortunate to get to all three venues in 1981. All three were outstanding and memorable, all coliseums in their own way, and steeped in history, going back to the origins of speedway (solo bikes) in the 1920s. Not one of them now stages speedway, which is a reflection of the way the sport has gone but also very sad for present and future generations. It's a bit like cricket losing the Gabba, the SCG and the WACA. None of the replacements would be the same. Anyway, all the best from the UK.

[@stephenvelden295]

@@johnturner1073 Yes I agree. The new track is small and unexciting. I spent a lot of my youth at the Claremont Speedway. We had no idea, back then, how special it was. It was just our local track.

Kings Park also referred to as chewing gum ( kP > PK ). Must be the most overrated and overworked attraction. Cottesloe Beach, main claim to fame is it's where Prince Charles got a kiss. The Swan Valley Is nice ( one of my houses is there ). But for real enjoyment, get out of the city and suburbs. Surfing at Margaret River. Kayak Moore River and Kalbarri. Ok and Swan and Canning. Like most cities, it's the tourist attractions which are the misery.

Yet so many small reserves have been ransacked for gravel, then used as dumps of trees from road windening and then used as rubbish dumps by callous humans. Here and there tiny pockets survive. Im 70 and it breaks my heart to see trees bulldozed just for some minor convienience or baby magpies run over by some twat going nowhere important. Im not against development. The development in WA ...ie farming, mining, housing...has been pure bloody minded , pig ignorant stupid. No middle road or sensitivity.

Perth is a poorly designed urban place. Too much sprawl. Destoyed its natural drainage areas and wetlands. The small blocks with high monotonous steel fencing filled with massive houses block draft from sea breeze....like the Freo doctor....and the minimal vegetation in the yards surrounding the massive houses create heat sinks. The heat is not addressed by strategies like street trees as these have untidy leaves . The lawns use more water and frequently wet the streets as runoff as the compacted lawn often lack maintenance like aerating. Also the owners chise to have less eaves and more windows as a cost effective way to increase house area. This leads to inefficent cooling. The list can go on. I know im laying it on a bit strong, and Perth is like countless other cities in the US, Canada etc. I know some nice people have nice lives there.

@@beforeyougotravel superficially they are less problematic than lots of places. they are relatively safe and there are lots of distractions. the natural environment has taken a massive hit from climate change and human indifference and delusion. there are reserves and there are people trying to correct the environmental damage, the previous conservative neo maga like government spun the tale that climate change was bullshit. people are planting trees and helping fauna i walk daily in local bush reserves and many places are struggling with drought and lack of habitat for species. i was recently in the porongorups which are a mountain range over a billion years old. its a small reserve encroached by developement and past logging. the Spirit clings on there. its sad. but if all you want from Australia is a good wage and coffee then its all marvellous.
