Perth: For the Love of Cricket, Wildlife & More!

The vibrant capital of Western Australia, Perth offers a unique blend of chic cosmopolitan luxuries and exciting outdoor activities. 

Take a look at some of the most unique experiences you can enjoy in Perth.  

1. Tour The WACA Grounds and Museum

Cricket enthusiasts should add this to the top of their to-do list in Perth! Supervised tours of the Western Australia Cricket Association Grounds and Museum are held on weekdays, which you should definitely be a part of if you’re a die-hard #CricketFan. Behold the panoramic views from the manicured ground and see where the brainstorming happens and strategies hatch with a visit inside the players’ changing room. Head to the museum for a peek into the history of the iconic game and don’t forget to shop for some souvenirs from the gift shop here.

2. Greet the Wildlife with a Beachy-break at Rottnest Island

Home to the world’s happiest Quokkas, the Rottnest Island has preserved its spellbounding natural charm! Play along the silver-sand shores and relish the stretch of azure water for as wide as you can see. Spot exotic birds such as Cormorants, Terns and Osprey on the Rottnest’s sand dunes, and explore the wetlands and woodlands with a local guide to encounter mammals, marsupials, bushbirds and amphibians resting in their habitat. Don’t forget to wave hello to the dolphins at Salmon Bay beach and wander around the bushes and plantations to spot the cutest Quokkas. Guess the best part? The animals are super friendly and getting the perfect #QuokkaSelfie won’t be of much trouble to you!

How to Reach: Take a Fast Ferry from Elizabeth Quay in Perth or Fremantle.

Note: The tourism board highly discourages touching or feeding the Quokkas.
