See and Do in Perth
Expats who relocate to Perth will find that, despite the glorious weather and wonderful stretched of pristine beach, there is not too much in the way of attractions, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t much to do in this little city in Western Australia.
Visit the Perth Zoo and meet the animals, pack a picnic and take a stroll round the Kings Park and Botanic Garden and enjoy the breathtaking views over the city and Swan River, visit the Perth Mint to discover the country’s oldest operating mint which originally made gold sovereigns for the British Empire, and visit the architecturally beautiful London Court where the Tudor-style building stands small but proud amongst the city’s skyscrapers.
