Parks & Nature

The iconic white-sand Aussie beach with surf-lifesaving club. Part of the beach is dog-friendly and... if you are a free spirit you can head north to find a clothing optional area.

Rottnest Island. Not really a national park, but certainly a State institution. Hire a bike and spend the day cycling around the island, stopping of to swim and snorkel or just sunbathe... Don't forget your coffee at The Dome. Reduced price ferry on Tuesdays.

Your best chance to see kangaroos in Perth. The island is home to a small family of roos, but even without those, this is a pleasant spot to escape the city. Note that a new bridge is being developed (2023) so I'm not sure if access to the remaining part of the island is still possible.

The UWA campus is worth visiting in itself, however if you are here in the summer, you should try to catch the Somerville Open Air Cinema which screen non-Hollywood (often subtitled) movies as part of the Perth Arts Festival.

Swim with wild dolphins and experience the emotion of looking into another species eyes with recognition. One of the best wildlife encounters I have experienced. Although habituated to swimmers, the Rockingham dolphins are not fed or rewarded in any way other than stimulating their curiosity.
