Perth Tubing!
Posted: Thu December 6, 2007 02:03 PM UTC
Is there anywhere in Perth or the surrounds to go tubing? You know, where you sit in an innertube and float along. Your innertube supported cooler of beer at your side.... feet in the cool water, sun shining down!

Or will you get eaten by crocodiles?

Hi No crocodiles in Perth, only sharks, but they rarely bite. Want to take on the crocs go a few thousand km north to the Kimberley and enjoy viewing this most wonderful animal.

Tube, esky and stubbies, try someones backyard swimming pool.

Good Luck,
Mike

Hi Justin. Like Mike said (hi Mike) a pool would probably be the best option. However if you want to go real tubing then Hillarys Boat Harbour has great water slides and you can relax after with some fish and chips and a beer or three at Sharkeys (that's a bistro overlooking the harbour). Mullalloo beach is also great to laze around on a tube as it's normally quite flat late in the afternoon. If you get a good 'flat surf' day, you could lay on your tube in the water with a beer and watch the sunset :o) Or, we could bring you up to our place and you can join us in our spa with a beer or 3 and star watching :o) Plenty of choices here.....hey perhaps we can have a vt meet starting at Hillarys Boat Harbour and ending at our place!.....sounds good :o)

Swan River, Just next to the Narrows Bridge off Mill Point rd...they have Jet ski's, Para sailing and im pretty sure they have tubing...but its the fun tubing where you get pulled behind a boat!!!

If you want "relaxing" tubing as you described...your best bet is to buy your own and just go anywhere you want!!!

No chance of crocs down here...they are all in the far north!!
