Perth and Fremantle beckon

-

WESTERN Australia is listed among the best- valued destinatio­ns for 2016 on Lonely Planet.

Capital of Western Australia, Perth, is a cosmopolit­an city surrounded by the natural beauty of the Swan River and Kings Park.

Perth’s superb position on the banks of the Swan River and nearby hectares of natural bushland in Kings Park make for a city centred on the great outdoors.

But there’s more to the west coast capital than great sunshine and a sparkling river.

A new cosmopolit­an perspectiv­e and economic growth has given Perth a cultural confidence that is making its mark on the city skyline and on other aspects of urban life.

Set on the banks of the broad Swan River, this modern city is often described as the most isolated city of its size in the Western world. Boasting more hours of sunshine than any other capital city in Australia, the pleasant weather and diverse mix of urban, coastal and culinary experience­s make Perth an ideal holiday destinatio­n for both domestic and internatio­nal visitors.

The city is lined with pedestrian malls packed with a wide variety of shops from inventive boutiques to national and global flagship stores where you can stock up on stylish fashions, buy Aboriginal art or simply sit at a cafe and watch people passing by.

Perth is in the centre of an exciting period of expansion and new developmen­ts, with bold new design projects and redevelopm­ents such as Perth Arena, Barrack St Jetty and Elizabeth Quay dramatical­ly changing its face.

Elizabeth Quay features trendy new cafes, bars and restaurant­s for those looking to get the most out of their dining experience.

There’s also a host of activities on offer at the Quay, such as cruises.

There are many attraction­s to visit throughout Perth City, including The Bell Tower, The Perth Mint, Perth Zoo, Scitech, Perth Cultural Centre and Kings Park where you’ll find 400 hectares of stunning natural bushland and grand lookouts – a popular place for taking photos.

The city of Fremantle – just 30 minutes from Perth – has recently been named in Lonely Planet’s Best in Travel 2016.

The latest Lonely Planet guide ranked Fremantle as the seventh best city in the world, behind the top- ranked Kotor in Montenegro but ahead of the 10th- placed Rome.

Fremantle is a bustling, dynamic port city that has long been renowned for its eclectic mix of arty and alternativ­e types.

Fremantle’s streets buzz with the song of buskers, the sidewalks fill with a wild collection of art and music floats out from trendy cafes and bars.
