It'll be in late May 2013, 4d3n trip. i think its gonna be autumn, hopefully it is not that bad. So far below are the itineraries that we planned: 1. Kings Park & Botanic Garden (sightseeing) 2. Western Australian Museum (sightseeing) 3. Kings Street (Shopping) 4. Penguin Island (sightseeing) 5. Cottesloe Beach (swimming) 6. Fremantle We have trouble figuring out an service apartment that within a budget of Aust$140 or below per night. We thought of Mountway Holiday Apartment or City Waters, what do you guys think? Also, we both plan to take the public transport since we travel around the city. any idea whether is it a better/safe to travel via public transport? finally, please give us your suggestions and views on perth since its our first trip there. we need suggestions on better itineraries, public transport and especially service apartment. thank you!

Hi, My husband and I (Sporeans) will be in Perth 13-22 Nov and wondering if the weather on N espe Coral coast would be too hot to visit. We have never been there. 1. Since we arrive late at abt 4pm on 13 Nov; I think we sh just take a shuttle or taxi from a/p to hotel in the city. How much would thefare cost for taxi and/or shuttle? How long is the journey? 2. We thought to arrange pick up car on 14 morning to drive up to Coral coast. But if the weather is too hot we may spend out time in the south. Any advise? 3. If need be we can extend our stay so we can drive to Ningaloo Reef. 4. Sh we book accomodation ahead esp in Coral coast areas? We normally dont prefer to book ahead. Appreciate your help and advise.

I'm planning a trip to Perth. I might stay at Woodmanpoint Holiday Park. I'm travelling alone, will be arrive in the morning around 7-8 AM. Does anyone have any suggestions, how to go to Woodmanpoint from the airport, international terminal. What choices of public transport as I have luggage too. I don't want to take taxi. I'm been looking for information, people said about shuttle bus, Connect or Transperth but I couldn't understand exactly the detail if I can take these buses to Woodmanpoint. I've been to Perth once but last time with some friends and they did organized the trip. This time I do plan by myself. Thank you in advance

Hey! I hope you are all well. I will be in Perth over Christmas for 2 nights. I am looking for a clean, comfortable and relaxed place to stay, with a good location to see/access the main sights & the airport. I am not keen on dorm accomodation and would like a private room. Possibly a place which can book or advise me on tours of the area,.. I am prepared to spend up to100 per night! I appreciate your advice! Regards, Dave.

I'm hoping someone with some WA experience can help me. Our family, 2 adults and a very active 15 year old are flying into Perth June 28th for one week. Right now I was planning to spend two nights in Perth. I really don't know how to arrange our time in Perth, we fly in from Sydney at 11am. I was wondering about driving out to Darlinghurst Winery for lunch? I'd like a condensed Perth itinerary, but would love to visit a winery or two, I'm not exactly sure what people are referring to when they say the Swan River Valley, the sites I have seen haven't been the best. So we would like the 2 nights in Perth, on the 30th I would like to head North to Kalbarri. I originally had planned this trip so we could go to Monkey Mia, but the more I have read, the more I have thought perhaps it is not worth the drive, we've fed the dolphins at Moreton Island, which was wonderful. Kalbarri seems to have a lot to do, from Dolphin or Whale cruises to Abseiliing (sp?). I'm not all that active, I like to sit with a nice glass of wine while my family is hiking or boating or doing whatever it is they like to keep them active. Is spending 5 nights in Kalbarri too much and what should we see or do along the way or back to Perth besides the Pinnacles which I have on my list? Any and all help would be appreciated.

Hi, I've looked at the forum and seem to get some pointers on where to visit in perth... places like : ) Perth City 2) Swan Valley 3) Wildflowers 4) Frementle 5) Rottnest Island 6) Dursborough 7) Scotsdale Tourist Drive with the above itineary, can i check what mode of transport is advisable? If I intend to drive, how would the route be like? Understand of course places like Rottnest I can't drive, so should I plan this at the last spot? Also, I am travelling with a 1yo kid so would like to know the easiest and cumbersome free trip. Thanks alot in advance.
