As well as being the most remote capital centre, Perth is indeed also one of the greenest. It's impossible to visit Perth without coming across one of the biggest inner city parks in the world, Kings Park. Some 1,003 acres, Kings Park is home to immaculate gardens, grassed parkland, tourist facilities and war memorials, and can be explored via the network of tree-lined streets. Take an afternoon to explore and unwind in this inner city sanctuary.

Shopaholics won't be able to get enough of the suburb of Subiaco, located less than 5 kilometres west of the city centre. Here you'll find countless boutique fashion stores and a plethora of trendy cafés. In the CBD, Murray Street and Hay Street malls are a great place to start, and King Street or West End for the more expensive designer labels.
