Near Elizabeth Quay
Perth Zoo 2.1 km
A 17-hectare zoo in South Perth, opened in 1898, just across the river from the city centre. It holds animals from Australia, Asia and Africa, and the gardens planted around their enclosures are a botanical collection in their own right.
Kings Park 2.4 km
A 400-hectare park on the rise above Perth Water, looking down over the river and the city's towers. Much of it is native bushland, alongside a botanic garden of Western Australian plants and a walkway of glass and steel through the treetops.
Cottesloe Beach 11 km
Perth's best-loved beach, known in Noongar as Mudurup, a train ride from the city and sheltered by offshore reefs that make swimming relatively safe. Its lawns, Norfolk Island pines and sunsets over the Indian Ocean have been recognised as a place of cultural significance since 2005.
Fremantle Prison 15 km
A walled limestone prison built by convicts transported from Britain, now one of the World Heritage listed Australian Convict Sites. Tours lead through the cellblocks, gatehouse and warders' cottages, and down into tunnels dug beneath the site.
Rottnest Island 33 km
A low, sandy island of 19 square kilometres, 18 kilometres off Fremantle, protected as an A-class reserve with no private cars. It is home to the quokka, a small marsupial that looks as if it is smiling, and its bays and reefs are mostly reached by bicycle.
The Pinnacles 164 km
Thousands of limestone pillars standing in yellow sand inside Nambung National Park, near the town of Cervantes north of Perth. Some stand taller than a person, and a loop drive and walking trails wind between them.
Busselton Jetty 193 km
At 1,841 metres, the longest timber-piled jetty in the Southern Hemisphere, running out into Geographe Bay. A little train carries visitors to the far end, where an underwater observatory looks out on the coral and fish living around the piles.
Cape Leeuwin Lighthouse 277 km
A lighthouse on the headland at the most south-westerly point of mainland Australia, near Augusta, where the Indian and Southern Oceans meet. Built of local limestone in the 1890s, it is the tallest lighthouse on the Australian mainland.
