SWAN RIVER SEAPLANES, SOUTH PERTH
stadium lights up with impressive
effects — envision the crowds
come alive to the sounds of major
music acts.
Not only can you strap yourself
in and tour Optus Stadium from
the top but, here, on the Burswood
Peninsula you can also climb to the
top of Perth’s landmark Matagarup
Bridge and enjoy 360-degree views
of the city from 72 metres above
the river, before zip-lining back
down to the Swan riverside.
While in Burswood, stay at
Crown Perth and experience true
luxury. Pamper yourself at the spa
or lounge by the poolside, dine
on fine food at one of its many
impressive restaurants, watch a
live performance at its world-class
theatre, or hit the casino for a night
of entertainment. It’s the complete
package.
SOUTH PERTH
South Perth is a vibrant suburb
poised along the southern banks
of the Swan River, acclaimed for its
lush South Perth Foreshore — the
most picturesque spot to admire
the Perth city skyline. For those
seeking a unique perspective of
the city, Swan River Seaplanes
offer exhilarating Perth City Scenic
Flights paired with exclusive picnic
packages, departing from Queen
OPTUS STADIUM, BURSWOOD
Street Jetty.
Embrace the cool splash
of water with an afternoon at
Funcats Watersports, offering an
array of aquatic activities — from
catamaran boat hire to stand up
paddle boards (SUPs). Bask in the
sun while enjoying the dazzling
views of the riverside surroundings
as you work up an appetite.
Another equally active and
scenic means to experience the
foreshore is on GoGo Active’s
Majestic Foreshore & East Perth Bike
Tour. Begin at the Mindeerup Piazza
on Mends Street, the foreshore
gateway of South Perth, and return
back over the Narrows Bridge after
a morning of guided riding.
Mends Street and Angelo Street
are both vibrant strips buzzing with
shops, cafés, restaurants and bars
to experience. The Mends Street
Arcade is home to it all, while the
Angelo Street Market is a South
Perth institution. Operating since
1988, it’s oozing culture and its
freshly made rolls are a must-try.
A trip to South Perth would not
be complete without exploring
the iconic Perth Zoo. This haven
of diverse fauna from around
the globe provides engaging
experiences for all ages. South
Perth is conveniently connected
to Elizabeth Quay via regular ferry
services, allowing for seamless
exploration of the area’s eclectic
mix of attractions from Perth
City. Or, stay in South Perth to
experience it all — The Peninsula
Riverside Serviced Apartments and
Pagoda Resort & Spa are stand-out
accommodation options.
