    What a beautiful park with amazing views over Perth, we went over the raised walkway there is no shade on the walkway but plenty in the rest of the park which was needed.

    I attended the Mint on business on this occasion and was assisted with very professional service, cashing in some Commerative Coins

    Never been to Perth and Fremantle before and really enjoyed the trip. Woke up to a gorgeous view of the Swan River every morning, walking/running alongside side it. Boat trip to Fremantle was relaxing. A nice area in which to chill with a coffee or dine. Loved it.

    Wonderful building - just beautiful particularly from outside. We did the self guide tour and found it really interesting- views are great. Staff are friendly and helpful. Easy to take in on a walking tour round Perth.

    Sitting proudly in King’s Park is this gracious memorial to the fallen. The memorial overlooks the city of Perth, with views of the Swan & Canning Rivers and the Darling Ranges.
    The memorial is an almost replica of the Australian Imperial Force Memorials in France and Belgium.

    While staying in Perth, it is nice to walk around the Harbour. There are lots of restaurants, and activity here (vs CBD at night which is so quiet). You can catch a boat ride down the Swan River, sit and people watch or walk over the bridge, which is lit at night.

    After climbing Jacob's Ladder to reach the park we were rewarded by fabulous views across the river and city

    This is a worthwhile part of the Kings Park to visit. You get lovely views over the river and also of the surrounding gardens. It reminds me of a much smaller version of the Tahune Airwalk in Tasmania!

    A great place for children of all ages, so many things to explore plus live shows throughout the day you won’t be bored here! Easy to get to via train/bus there is also a car park you can pay to use, inside a shopping centre they also have a cafe inside which offered a good selection of food and drink.

    The original western half of the Cathedral was built from 1863 to 1865 in a Norman Gothic style with two porches and a spire being added in 1905 adding to its Gothic style. The Cathedral was enlarged during the period from 1926 to 1930 with the construction of the eastern half, however, due to financial restrictions resulting from the Great Depression, many of the original design features were not completed. The two halves had been joined during this time with the original Cathedral, less its sanctuary, being retained as the nave for the expanded Cathedral. It appears though that many thought the joining was not done well and that the Cathedral was incomplete.

    The third construction phase from 2006 to 2009 resulted in major restructuring and restoration works being undertaken that included moving the Sanctuary to the centre of the Cathedral, building a new crypt, increased seating capacity, a choir room, an under croft car park and a second spire.

    The result is quite lovely with lots of natural light flowing into the centre of the Cathedral and it having a very modern feel and look about it.

    There are some beautiful paintings and stained glass windows.

    Such an easy place to drive to and plenty of parking. Around a ten minute walk to the sanctuary. It wasn't easy to spot many kangaroos the day we went as it was fairly hot but we did manage to see some. We had to look hard as they were camouflaged by the brown bushes. A great day out with kids in the holidays, all free as well.

    Having been born and bred in Perth and visited these gardens many times as a child, this was purely a nostalgia visit and it did not disappoint.
    The same tranquil oasis that I remembered and the Pied Piper statue brought back many fond memories.
