The Lazy Perth
Perth is situated in the Western Australia & its one of the best city to live in. The people are nice & friendly. The best time to visit Perth is during Autumn where it is not too cold nor too hot.
The places of interest includes:
The Kings Park

Kings Park is a favourite spot for both tourists & locals. This is a good place to hold weddings, picnics & gatherings. At the night time, there'll be colourful spotlights among the trees, creating a wonderful environment to overlook the Perth City night view
. You may walk about in the Lotterywest Federation Walkway which look upon the Perth city perfect scenery divided by the Swan River.
The Perth Mint

This is a must for those tourists. You may browse around the gallery for free. It is recommended to join in their guided tour. This will included the Gold Pour session.This is not too be missed! You'll get a coin as souvenir. If you want something more valuable, you may purchase gold,silver or platinum coins & have your own engravement.
Fremantle Market

Fremantle market is one of the famous market in Perth. You can get lots of local souveniers here. The best souvenier is to get an opal. They come with many shapes & colours. Of course, not all items are bargainable as this has become a famous tourist spot.Anyhow, you can try your luck for the best bargain.
Cruise in Swan River

The Captain Cook cruise is a great way to cruise around the Perth City & Swan River. You'll stroll along the most expensive houses in CBD. From the loading port, there's a maritime museum to explore. You may choose either to cruise back from the CBD or to take the free bus ride around the town after a nice lunch onboard.
Swan Valley
http://www.swanvalley.com.au/en/default.htm
This is the best place to satisfy your taste bud on wine tasting. You can find all types of wine, Chardonnay, Chenin Blanc, Semillon Verdelho Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot,Shiraz, you name it, they have it. You may also pluck the fresh grapes from the vineries. You can get a bottle of good wine as low as $12.
Perth Zoo
http://www.perthzoo.wa.gov.au/
This is truly unique to me..as the zoo is located in the heart of the city! The zoo compound is suitable for family picnics too. They do not caged their lovely animals (of course not for some sensitive animals), just draw a line between animal kingdom & human kingdom.Terrific isn't? They won't cross our line & we won't cross their line, just a signboard 'Pls do not walk in beyond this line'. It a great place to have a close touch with the nature.You can expect to see their special creatures (only found in aussieland) : kangaroo,koala, tasmanian devil etc etc..
Alternatively if you are too lazy to have your own itinerary, try their local day tour...
