Perth will host three ICC Cricket World Cup 2015 matches, including Australia-Afghanistan on 4 March 2015. Click here for a full list of fixtures in Perth.
One of the largest inner city parks in the world – at 400 hectares it is larger than New York’s Central Park – Kings Park is a green oasis in the heart of the city. A short walk or free bus ride from the city centre, check out the impressive views of the Swan River and city skyline, pack a picnic, see an outdoor movie or live performance in summer, and the wildflowers in spring, or learn more about the park on an Indigenous walking tour.
Designer brands meet local labels along King, Queen, Hay and Murray Streets in the city. Outside the city centre, head to Claremont Quarter, Garden City, Fremantle, Mount Lawley, Leederville or Subiaco for your retail fix. Other rich pickings include designer jewellery crafted from Western Australian gold, Argyle diamonds and Broome’s famous South Sea pearls. If vintage, hip and quirky is more your style, make quick for the boutiques of William Street in Northbridge.
Home to 19 pristine metropolitan beaches, it’s easy to find your own slice of white sand to relax and enjoy one Western Australia’s famous sunsets. Surfers head to Scarborough and Trigg, while swimmers and stand-up paddle boarders cool off at Cottesloe or Mettam’s Pool between Sorrento Beach and Trigg. The Scarborough foreshore is undergoing revitalisation and has just welcomed the new Matisse Club, next to the recently refurbished Rendezvous Grand. Cottesloe Beach has also recently welcomed a new dining experience, Cott &Co Fish Bar as part of The Cottesloe Beach Hotel, on Marine Parade.
Dining Boom!
Perth city and its urban villages of Cottesloe, Claremont, Mount Lawley, Leederville, Maylands, Northbridge, North Perth, Subiaco and Victoria Park are brimming with new dining options. Sample Western Australia’s fresh produce and wines at one of the many new small bars, cafes, and restaurants such as Print Hall, The Old Crow, Pleased To Meet You and Lalla Rookh, or at one of the city’s fashionable food vans or pop-up restaurants. On the weekend, check out what the locals are up to at local farmers markets. In summer, make a bee-line for twilight hawkers markets, al fresco cafes and beachside dining.
