Visiting Perth This Weekend, What Is There To Do?

[4door_Sleeper]

As the topic states, my wife and I are flying into perth on Saturday and staying for 5 days. Just wondered if anyone had recomendations of things to see and do.

We are staying close to the city center and will hire a car for a few days to get around. I understand it is a long weekend and wondered if anything special was happening?

2nd: Theres a car cruise on Sunday with some SAU Members, be good to meet some SAU From Perth and check out there skylines.

3rd: Burswood casino.

thats all I can think off so far..will post more when I can think of more..lol abit tired at the moment.

Thanks for the reply, do you have any more details on where the cruze is meeting up (I assume you guys PM such details to avoid unwanted attention)

[inthisglass]

check out the events section mate

most of the touristy type things are up north or down south, not a lot in perth city, as mentioned kings park is nice, the bell tower i guess, the zoo. just depends what your up for

[Marco-R34GTT]

Swan valley is cool if you're into food/dining/wine/beer ect ect..

Also, head to the Subiaco strip or Freo strip for some great spots for coffee and good grub..

There is the bell tower, but it isn't much to write home about..

I'd suggest heading out to York if you're here for a few days, quite a few things to have a gander at;

Try and get down to Freo to check our Peter Bigg's motor meuseum. It may be the last chance you get to see one of Australia's greatest motoring collection (his lease has been terminated with no other site found, so most of the cars will be getting sold or going into storage)

His other meuseum in York is also worth a look if you do deceide to "do" the swan valley.

If you here on thursday 5th and want to see some of Perths performance street cars on the track, there is an Event at Wanneroo Raceway. Starts at around 5.30pm and goes until about 10.30. Entry is $5 per person. Realisticly you would need your own transport to get there as theres no public transport out that way at that time.

If you want further details let me know.

Shameless plug for Hyden, Marko?? There is a really good farm out that way... I've heard some good things about it

Have fun in Perth mate, it isnt THAT great to be honest, but there are some good things to do here

[Marco-R34GTT]

Good things... Not 'great'...

Perth = Dullsville....

[NA_Goodness]

No, not "great", cos I havent been invited there yet!!

And agreed about the "dullsville" Even now I'm bored...

[Marco-R34GTT]

Man you've seen Wave Rock, why not make the recommendation yourself!

It is teh 1337 4w350m3n355!!!

[NA_Goodness]

Yeh, i agree. Wave Rock is fantastic!! If your in the area, DEFINATELY go check it out!! Fantastic, and as much as I'm enjoying giving Marko shit for advertising his home town, Hyden is a great little town to visit. Not exactly close to Perth tho.

[4door_Sleeper]

Thanks guys. We will hire a car for a day or two, so I hope to get out to see more than just the city. I think we will head up York way as it sounds like there are a few sights up that direction.

[MeLSki]

How'd you go???

Dissapointing wasn't it?! lol

[4door_Sleeper]

It wasnt too bad.

I didnt see many skylines or other imports though

Lots of Hyundi Excells with exhaust tips though
