    Definitely worth it as the place was the highlight of our trip! The "zoo" was well-structured where you get shows, interactions with the animals and the usual enclosures. The ticket includes phototaking with koalas (without you holding the animals).

    Whiteman Park in Perth is a large botanical garden with a very wide lawn. It is a good place for Perth people to make friends on a daily basis. The scattered trees on the lawn are like huge parasols, which are particularly beautiful and unique. It has a lonely and romantic beauty and is a good place for taking pictures.

    You can choose between taking the train or walking.The last end of the bridge was closed on the day I went but its an amazing walk if you'd love experiencing a walk in to the middle of the Ocean. Strong breeze and beautiful waves accompany your mile walk. At the end of the bridge, be sure to explore the Underwater room whi h happened to be closed after Christmas.Tips: wear comfortable walking shoes and carry your water bottle.

    The Swan Bell Tower is a bell tower located in the heart of Perth, Australia, and is one of Perth's iconic landmarks. Built to commemorate Western Australia's 150th anniversary, it officially opened to the public in 2009. Visiting the Swan Bell Tower, you can take an elevator to the top of the tower (its six floors), where you can enjoy breathtaking views of the entire Perth city, including Fremantle Harbour, Kings Park, and the Swan River. On a clear day, you can even see the Swan Mountains in the distance. Inside the bell tower is a small museum showcasing the history and culture of Perth and Western Australia. You can learn about the construction of the bell tower and details of Western Australia's 150th anniversary celebrations. Overall, a visit to the Swan Bell Tower is a great way to learn about the history and culture of Perth and Western Australia, while also offering a stunning view of the city.

    Visiting Pinnacles Desert in February was an unforgettable experience! The golden limestone formations scattered across the desert looked surreal, especially under the bright blue sky. The weather was warm but bearable, and the sunset view was breathtaking, casting long shadows over the pinnacles. A must-visit for anyone exploring Western Australia’s unique landscapes!

    On Middle Island near Esperance, Western Australia, the only way to see the lake from the air is by plane or by boat once a year. We took a plane. From the air, the lake looks like a footprint, and the water is pink, so beautiful.

    The beach is beautiful, the infrastructure is very complete, and you can watch the sunset at night. The UV coefficient is very high, remember to use physical sunscreen. It is recommended to stay in a hotel by the sea, especially an apartment hotel, and walk out to the WWS supermarket to buy something to cook for yourself. Don't be too fragrant! You can choose the time to play by yourself. If you just want to relax, it's okay to lie down for a morning.

    This is a very beautiful valley in Western Australia, there are many Australian kangaroos, koalas and other unique Australian animals, and it is also a famous wine plantation.
