in the World at the Prix Versailles

a height of 35 metres to get the
blood pumping the best way
possible.
6PM // STAY CENTRAL
Stay close to the waterfront for
picturesque views of the river from
one of Perth’s central hotels such
as Duxton Hotel Perth, Novotel Perth
Langley, Novotel Perth Murray Street
or InterContinental Perth. All feature

evening in, or venture out to one of
Perth’s inner city neighbourhoods
like Leederville for fresh scenery.
Recharge to explore the CBD’s
boutiques and high-end shops the
next day. Hay Street and Murray
