Hello all.
My mum and I have a Perth trip planned for late July/early August and we are wondering what sights we should see while in town. Any attractions must be wheel-chair friendly.
I already have Rottnest Island and the Perth Mint down but what other attractions would you Perth people recommend?

Kings Park… Hillary’s – also has the aquarium there, Araluen botanical gardens, Perth zoo (let me know when you do that one, I would be happy to give you guys a tour), Armadale reptile center.. have a look at “what’s on – perth” on the www – it will tell you events scheduled for that time
Thanks Arts. I’ll pop in again later.

Fremantle prison and markets.
Kings park is nice for a stroll with great views.
The Swan is a nice river for a cruise.
If you have time and wheels, go for a drive. Margaret river and back can be done as a fairly long day trip.
The highlight of my last trip to Perth was 6 hours of wandering around Balcatta while my car was repaired. Doesn’t get any better than that.
the prison tour isn’t really suitable for a wheelchair – I am uncertain if they have tours for wheelies, they may have.
Balcatta for a day, eh? thrilling

Don’t force me to search for pics of your past pud shenanigans online!
The Araluen botanical gardens and the Perth zoo look really good. A tour would be fantastic Arts. I’ll make sure to get in touch before we arrive in Perth.

Sorry; not sure what happened there.
PhilC, would you consider a drive up to Cervantes to see The Pinnacles? When we were there almost 10 years ago, there was a route through the NP there and they could be easily viewed from the car. Not sure whether there is an area with wheelchair access, though.
You do realise this is not actually a holiday forum…?

On the other hand it is not not a holiday forum.

WHAT!!?
My advise would be to go to any of the major parks and check out the amazing variety of bird life.
Or hope to see dolphins in the CBD.
The trees are pretty spectacular.

Actually it is all pretty good. I’m loving Perth.

Looks good. This website has all the info I need. http://www.visitpinnaclescountry.com.au/pages/cervantes-visitor-information-200515/
We might make a day trip of it. It will be nice to get out the city if we can.
Thanks Speedy.
the pinnacles are pretty weird. worth a visit.

Yes. I’m acquainted with the origins of this forum’s name. I am a frequent lurker and moved across from the SSSF when it closed.

Oh, that’s a little unfair, kii. How about a multiple choice question. Something like:
What’s buffy’s favourite drink?
a. Orange juice
b. Lemonade
c. Milo
d. Coffee

Isn’t that from the old forum and Phil is saying he lurks here often enough to tell us just about anything?

I know Bubbles had his usual Xmas shindig and just had a birthday celebration in the past few days but can’t recall if anything special meal-wise happened on April 27th 2015. :-/
Sorry. Couldn’t help it :)

Yes, I was lucky to secure it when registration became a requirement. Before that, there were a few of us.

It is an unfortuneate name as it contains “turd”.
There’s a car museum on the docks at Fremantle if that’s your thing. Quite small but it does have Jackie Stewart’s March 701 which caught my attention.
