If you’re new to Perth and need to get around that also isn’t a worry.

For the sporting fans during the cooler months this e is always plenty of action at the newly constructed Optus Stadium. Opened in early 2018, this e is now always action between the two AFL teams, the Fremantle Dockers and the West Coast Eagles. Optus is now the second largest football ground in Australia with a massive capacity of 60,000 plus. Even if you’re not a sports fan, Optus Stadium is definitely worth just a visit, especially at night. The scenery and lighting of the stadium is a sight to behold when coupled with the Swan Bridge.
And finally, when in Perth be sure to book a day away to visit one of the best tourist destinations, Rottnest Island. The island is only accessible by ferry or helicopter and is home to one of the cutest creatures you will ever see. A local populace of around 12,000 Quokkas can be found on the island, one of the very few habitats in which the creature exists. These animals are not camera shy and if you are clever enough an encounter with one of them can result in a very memorable selfie. The quokkas aren’t the only attraction on the island, however. If you love your history as you explore Rottnest Island, you’ll discover more about its dark past as an aboriginal penal colony, but also about its more recent shining light in its role to defend Perth in World War 2. Truly Rottnest Island is a remarkable landmark that needs to be explored in its entirety to make the most out of any Perth trip.
All in all if you’re looking for a beautiful, well rounded city, Perth is a great place to live at or visit for a long weekend. It has everything you need and more to keep you entertained and always on your toes.
