Ultimate Perth Itinerary: Fun 3, 5 and 7 Day Itineraries 

The relaxed coastal city of Perth, the capital of Western Australia, often gets overlooked by its eastern Australian counterparts like Melbourne and Sydney. As a local who has lived in Perth my entire life, let me get you in on the secret – Perth is so underrated! 

With some of the best beaches in Australia, hot summers and mild winters, hip suburbs, funky small bars and some amazing day trips, a trip to Perth offers an interesting variety of unique things to do and see for visitors. 

In this guide, I’ve carefully crafted the ULTIMATE Perth travel itinerary. With a 3, 5 and even 7 day Perth itinerary, there’s something for all visitors. Regardless of whether it’s your first time in Perth or a return visit, I’ve got you covered in this ultimate itinerary for Perth travellers.

Best Time to Visit

One of the (many) things I love about Perth is that you can visit all year round! 

Perth winters are generally fairly mild – which can mean sometimes you luck out with sunny days and 20 degrees Celsius high (or more). 

However, as many of the best things around Perth are nature-based activities, the most popular time to visit is during the summer months of December – February. 

journey planner perth

Personally, I think the shoulder months of March-May and September – November are a great time to explore Perth. Prices and crowds are lower (although, it’s worth noting a “crowded” Perth is still miles behind what you would consider crowded in other cities across the country and the world!). 

One thing to be aware of is the Australian school holiday periods, which can be found here . 

In particular, the Christmas and New Year period, and the Easter school holidays in April, are exceptionally busy times of the year to travel in Perth. If visiting during these times, make sure to book your accommodation in advance. 

How to Get Around Perth

Getting around the Perth CBD and neighbouring suburbs is fairly easy using public transport, including the free inner city network of CAT buses . 

Taxis, Uber and other rideshare services are also plentiful in Perth. For my 3 and 5 days Perth itinerary, a car is not strictly necessary to get around.

However, if you’d like to explore beyond Perth, or go for a self-drive road trip to places like the Lancelin Sand Dunes, the Pinnacles Desert or even the Margaret River Wine Region, then a car will be required to get around. 

For car rental hire, I recommend Discover Cars to browse and compare the best prices from different companies across Perth. 

journey planner perth

Where to Stay in Perth 

If it’s your first time in Perth, I recommend staying in or near the Perth CBD for easy access to the main attractions.

  • Budget – Citadines St Georges Terrace
  • Mid Range – Art Series the Adnate
  • Apartment Hotel – Quest Mounts Bay Road
  • Luxury – Ritz-Carlton Perth

If you plan on hiring a car, parking is limited in the CBD and can be expensive. Consider staying across from the CBD in picturesque South Perth, or the inner CBD suburb of Subiaco. 

  • Mid-Range – Tribe Subiaco
  • Apartment Hotel – Quest South Perth Foreshore
  • Luxury – Vibe Hotel Subiaco

I’ve included a few of my favourite hotel options above, or check out my full guide for the best places to stay across Perth .

3 Day Perth Itinerary

Day 1 – explore perth cbd and kings park.

Spend your first full day in Perth exploring the Perth CBD and the nature haven of Kings Park Botanic Garden. 

This itinerary is very walkable. You can also buy a 24-hour hop-on hop-off bus ticket . This service does a loop around the Perth CBD and King’s Park every hour during the day, stopping at the main attractions and reducing the amount of walking.

Start your day with a coffee from one of Perth’s stellar coffee shops, such as La Veen King St, Standing Room Only or Smooth Operator (only open Monday – Friday). 

Spend the morning wandering around Elizabeth Quay , which offers a great viewpoint looking back at the city skyline from Elizabeth Quay Bridge. You’ll also spot the distinctive arched Spanda sculpture. 

Walk across the bridge to the Bell Tower – you can head up into the bell tower to admire 360-degree views from the observation deck and take part in an interactive bell chiming experience. 

Book skip-the-line tickets here

Elizabeth Quay Art Trail

From here, make a beeline to Hay St Mall via London Court. 

London Court is a little slice of old-English vibes, reminiscent of Diagon Alley, in the heart of the Perth CBD. Wander along and browse the small boutiques, and often you’ll find seasonal displays lining the open-air alleyway above. 

At this end of London Court, keep an eye out for the clockwork display when it reaches the hour on the clock. You’re now standing on one of the Perth CBD’s two main shopping streets, Hay Street Mall. 

journey planner perth

Spend some time browsing the shops on Hay Street and Murray Street Malls. 

For a guided tour of the city, I highly recommend a walking tour with Oh Hey WA. I’ve had the pleasure of joining Adie, the owner of the business, on both her Perth City and Perth Small Bar tours. 

What I loved about these small group tours is that, even as a local who has lived in Perth my whole life, I discovered new things about my city! 

Adie and her team of guides are very personable, friendly and informative. Their walking tours are a great way to get acquainted with Perth and discover what the city has to offer – that you won’t find in a normal guidebook! 

  • Ultimate Perth Walking Tour: History, Architecture, Art + Local Insights (morning)
  • Perth Bar + Street Art Tour: Hidden Secrets, Laneways + Good Times (afternoon/ evening)

journey planner perth

Save your feet from all the walking and join a segway tour around the river. 

You’ll zoom past the Bell Tower, through Elizabeth Quay and explore one of the inner city parks with a hidden waterfall on this 1-hour guided tour. 

Read the glowing reviews of this fun tour here .

In the afternoon, you can have a few options. 

You could walk across to Northbridge and spend a few hours at the WA Museum Boola Bardip (tickets $15/adult), the Art Gallery of Western Australia or play a game of mini golf at Holey Moley. 

Northbridge is a great spot for an afternoon drink in the sunshine – check out the range of locally brewed beers at Northbridge Brewing Co or the tucked away rooftop bar at Mechanics Institute.

Holey Moley Northbridge

Alternatively, walk or catch the free CAT bus to East Perth. 

Walk across the Matagarup Bridge to Optus Stadium. Some fun activities to do include a zipline over the Swan River from the bridge or a guided behind-the-scenes stadium tour . 

Matagarup Bridge over the Swan River

I’ve done the bridge climb and zipline twice now, and it’s such an exhilarating experience. You can watch a video from my experience below and book tickets here .

@tessomewhere Take 2 at Matagarup zip + climb! This time we did the express zip which has a shorter climb but still the same adrenalin pumping zip line over swan river! $99 for 90 mins #perthactivities #adrenaline #zipline #bridgeclimb #perthsummer ♬ original sound – Tess | Adventure Travel

You’ll also find the Perth Mint in East Perth, where you can learn about Western Australia’s gold rush, view the largest gold coin ever made and watch molten gold being poured into a gold bar.

Book your entrance tickets to the Perth Mint here . 

In the late afternoon, make your way to Kings Park Botanic Garden . One of the world’s largest inner city parks, Kings Park is an iconic destination in Perth. Over 400 hectares in size, it is a biodiversity hotspot with untamed native bushland as well as cultivated gardens with large grassy areas. 

I like to start by walking along Fraser Avenue, admiring the sweeping view of the Perth CBD and Swan River before reaching the State War Memorial that stands testament to Australians who have given their lives for this country. 

journey planner perth

Meander along past the giant boab tree, and wander across the Lotterywest Federation Walkway, a glass walkway suspended among the treetops. 

The lawn near the State War Memorial and Frasers Ave is a great spot to watch the sunset. Alternatively, head down to Elizabeth Quay for a drink at The Reveley or The Island to celebrate the end of a great day out exploring the city. 

A popular tourist attraction is the iconic Blue Boat Shed located on the banks of the Swan River near Kings Park. You’ll often see a line of visitors wanting to take a photo in front of the cute over-water building. Visit before or after exploring Kings Park. Discover more Instagrammable locations around Perth here.

Where to Eat

  • Petition Kitchen: Petition is one of the many dining options in the beautiful restored heritage State Buildings complex. Long Chim (Thai) and Post (Italian) are also popular options.
  • La Cholita: a funky, lively restaurant serving up some of Perth’s best Mexican in Northbridge
  • The Standard: A hip bar and restaurant in Northbridge with a delightful 2-level garden bar 
  • Meat & Wine Co: sophisticated steak house in the heart of Perth’s CBD
  • Angel Falls Grill: a small restaurant serving up delicious Venezuelan cuisine in a tucked-away alleyway 
  • Hifumiya Udon Noodle House: this hidden restaurant transports me back to Japan. They hand-make their udon noodles and are always buzzing at lunchtime (open for lunch only). 

Long Chim Perth State Buildings

Day 2 – Discover the Port Town of Fremantle

Today you’ll be exploring the vibrant hub of Fremantle, about a 30-minute drive from the Perth CBD. 

You can jump on the train, with the Fremantle line departing from Perth station, or take a scenic cruise along the Swan River to arrive at the historic port town of Fremantle. 

Wander along the “cappuccino strip” of Market Street until you reach Fremantle Markets . 

This bustling indoor market dates back to 1897 and is filled with stalls selling everything from jewellery and clothes, handmade local wares and art to fresh food. 

journey planner perth

After browsing the stalls and maybe a bite to eat, you could visit the Fremantle Prison for a tour of the culturally significant convict prison, or walk to Esplanade Park. Here you’ll find a large playground, shaded grassed areas and the distinctive bright red Ferris wheel. 

This area is also home to the famous Little Creatures Brewery , an industrial brewery with a quirky and vibrant atmosphere. Try one of their many beers, or book a behind-the-scenes brewery tour. 

journey planner perth

Other things nearby worth checking out are the WA Shipwrecks Museum, the Round House (a former convict prison) and Bathers Beach House, Australia’s first alfresco beach dining (literally, dining and drinking on the beach with your feet in the sand). 

journey planner perth

From here, navigate to High St which is a hub of heritage buildings, quirky boutiques (including a record store and map shop) and many drinking and dining options. 

journey planner perth

If you’re looking for the best sunset spot in Fremantle, Gage Roads Brewery is my pick. Next door to the WA Maritime Museum, Gage Roads Brewery is a massive, industrial-style brewery serving up fresh brewed beers and delicious modern Australian bites. 

You can watch the cargo ships and ferries cruise into the port while you watch the sun sink below the Indian Ocean. 

journey planner perth

  • Tonic & Ginger: delicious Southeast Asian share plates in a multi-storied venue that used to be a synagogue
  • Emily Taylor: Funky bar and kitchen serving up dumplings and other Asian fusion
  • Bread in Common: this popular restaurant is housed in an industrial warehouse space and serves modern Australian cuisine alongside artisanal bread
  • Republic of Fremantle Distillery : an urban distillery serving fresh, local produce alongside specialty cocktails  

Day 3 – Visit the Rottnest Island Quokkas 

Rottnest Island is one of Perth’s best day trips. Catch the ferry from Barrack St in the Perth CBD or catch the train to Fremantle for the trip across to Rottnest Island. 

Read all you need to know about planning a day trip to Rottnest Island in my detailed guide here .

5 Day Perth Itinerary 

Day 4 – sample the delights of the swan valley .

After a long day exploring Rottnest yesterday, today will be more relaxed but still packed with adventures. Today you’ll be exploring the Swan Valley, a region with world-class wineries and a smorgasbord of dining options located only 30 minutes east of the Perth CBD.  

If you have a car, you can choose to do a self-drive tour of the Swan Valley, otherwise there are plenty of options for tours that include transport. I’ve included a few of my favourite options below. 

  • Ultimate Swan Valley Food and Wine Day Trip: Indulge in some of the best wines and food the Swan Valley has to offer. Include lunch, wine tastings, a brewery stop, cheese board and chocolate tasting on this all-day tour from Perth.
  • Half Day Swan Valley Wine Tour: Visit four wineries with a cheese platter at one, as well as a stop at a boutique chocolate factory
  • Swan Valley River Cruise and Wine Tasting Trip: Travel to the Swan Valley in style with a scenic river cruise from the Perth CBD. Sample a range of local wine, cheese, beer and chocolate plus enjoy a delicious lunch at a local brewery while enjoying live commentary from your tour guide on board the vessel. 

journey planner perth

If you’re joining a tour, you don’t need to worry about planning the stops as this will all be organised by your guide. If you’re doing the self-drive option, these are some of my favourite wineries, restaurants and shops. 

  • Old Youngs Distillery: this award-winning gin distillery has an incredible restaurant featuring native cuisine and unique dishes – book ahead!
  • Lancaster Estate: cheese and wine tastings in a casual rustic setting right next to the vineyard
  • Mandoon Estate & Homestead Brewery: one of my favourites in the Swan Valley, with a cellar door for wine tastings, a separate brewpub and a fine dining restaurant on a beautiful estate
  • Bailey Brewing : This popular brewpub has a fun, large kids playground – it gets very busy on weekends so book ahead if possible!
  • Sandalford Wines: One of the prestigious wine estates, and one of the oldest in the Swan Valley
  • House of Honey: you’ll find a honey shop with both honey and mead tastings in a beautiful garden setting, plus a casual cafe
  • Funk 2.0 Cidery : Casual cidery with a large range of ciders and outside tables 

Day 5 – Day Trip to Lancelin Sand Dunes and the Pinnacles Desert

Time to experience another of the best day trips from Perth. Here’s a quick summary of the day, or read my dedicated Perth to Pinnacles Road Trip guide .

You’ll be driving (or joining a tour) to visit the sprawling Lancelin Sand Dunes , about 90 minutes north of Perth near the small seaside town of Lancelin. 

Ride the dunes on a sandboard, or hop aboard a quad bike and cruise the dips and crescents of the dunes. 

Aerial view over the rolling sand dunes at Lancelin

For lunch, head to the Cervantes Lobster Shack for a delectable lobster lunch. You can also join a tour of the Lobster Factory before or after your meal (no bookings required).

journey planner perth

Finish the day with a stop at the otherworldly Pinnacles Desert , famous for its towering limestone structures. Explore this national park on foot, or on the loop drive that circles the Pinnacles.

Keep an eye out for kangaroos and emus!

journey planner perth

There are two highly-rated tours that I recommend that include stops at both Lancelin Sand Dunes and the Pinnacles: 

  • Pinnacles Desert Sunset and Star-Gazing Tour: Join this bus tour which first stops at Lancelin Sand Dunes for sandboarding. You’ll then head to the Pinnacles, enjoying a barbeque dinner in the middle of the desert, while sipping on local wine. See the sunset before marvelling at the clear night sky with the help of astro binoculars and a telescope.
  • Pinnacles, Koalas & Sandboarding Tour Day Trip: Your first stop will be Caversham Wildlife Park, where you can see koalas and hand-feed kangaroos. Next, travel to Cervantes for lunch and a tour of the lobster factory. The next stop will be the Pinnacles Desert, before driving over the Lancelin Sand Dunes in a custom-built 4WD vehicle. This will be an adventurous day to remember!

7 Day Perth Itinerary 

Day 6 – relax at one of perth’s many beaches .

Have a relaxed day exploring some of Perth’s many beaches. 

The most iconic beach in Perth is Cottesloe Beach which is a favourite for locals and visitors alike. Stroll along the picturesque coastline on Marine Parade, before taking a dip at the beach in front of the Indiana Tea House (now home to the trendy restaurant Indigo Oscar).

Spend a day enjoying the sun and sand, before watching the sunset while enjoying takeaway fish and chips on the beach. 

Sunrise over Cottesloe Beach from Indiana

Another local favourite is Scarborough Beach , which hosts local markets on a Thursday night in summer and has a range of relaxed dining options along the coast. 

journey planner perth

Another great beach near Perth is Coogee Beach around 40 minutes south of Perth.

This one is a bit trickier to get to (easiest to drive or get an Uber). It’s worth the effort to get to though, as it is home to the Omeo Shipwreck, a unique snorkelling spot. Trigg Beach (north of Perth) is another popular snorkelling beach in Perth.  

If the weather is looking gloomy, consider taking another day trip from Perth or spend the day exploring the sights around the CBD that you might not have had time for on Day 1.

Day 7 – Venture to the Perth Hills

The Perth Hills is an underrated region that isn’t often on the itinerary of first-timers to Perth.

However, only a short drive from the CBD, you’ll find brilliant local wineries and restaurants, serene hikes, gushing waterfalls and more. 

There are so many things to do in the Perth Hills, and hiring a car is the best way to see them in a day. Otherwise, this Small-Group Bickley Valley Wine Tour is a great option that includes transport (although just note tours usually only run on weekends).

journey planner perth

Other things to do in the Perth Hills include:

  • Stroll along the Mundaring Weir and go for a bush walk to South Ledge Lookout
  • Visit Lesmurdie Falls and hike to the base of the falls (best in winter and spring)
  • Enjoy lunch at one of the Perth Hills cideries
  • In autumn, visit Raeburn Orchards to see the stunning autumn foliage
  • Go for a wine tasting at a boutique winery (Fairbrossen is one of my favourites)
  • Watch the sunset from the Zig Zag Scenic Drive
  • Immerse yourself in nature at the beautiful Araluen Botanic Park  
  • Pack a picnic and go for a hike on one of the many trails in John Forrest National Park

journey planner perth

Alternative Option: Drive to Margaret River 

Consider spending a couple of nights in the Margaret River Region exploring the many wineries, natural attractions and stunning beaches in the area. It is a 3-hour drive from Perth to Margaret River, so it’s worth spending at least two nights. 

For more ideas on things to do in the Margaret River Region, check out my guide here . 

It is possible to visit on a day trip on an organised tour from Perth , seeing the main sights like Busselton Jetty, an underground cave and a brewery visit. It’s a long day but at least someone else is doing the driving, meaning you can sit back and relax!

🛡️ Travel Insurance: For my fellow Aussies, I use CoverMore for domestic and overseas travel insurance and they've been great to deal with. Travel with peace of mind knowing you're covered for unexpected events, ensuring a worry-free journey.

Stay connected wherever you go by easily and affordably purchasing an eSim for all your travel destinations.

🚗 Easy Car Rental : Enjoy hassle-free car rentals on DiscoverCars with a wide range of options, competitive prices, and excellent customer service. I often find it's cheaper than booking direct, and I can compare a large range of suppliers to make sure I'm getting the best price.

Hey! I have found your blog SO helpful in planning my honeymoon to Australia, specifically our time in Perth and Rottnest Island. Thank you so much! I have one question maybe you can help with, do you know if there is anywhere reliable we can store our bags for a few hours while we check out Fremantle? We are planning to spend our last few days in Rottnest and would love to check out Fremantle as a pitstop on our way to the airport. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Hi Bre! So glad to hear my guides have been useful – your honeymoon sounds like it will be incredible!

Your Trip to Perth: The Complete Guide

journey planner perth

Perth is the largest city on Australia's west coast and the perfect base for adventurous travelers. Surrounded by beaches, deserts, and wineries, it has a population of around 2 million people   and remains one of Australia's underrated gems.

Perth is a great destination for foodies, art lovers, and outdoorsy visitors, offering whale watching, wildflower blooms, and native wildlife, plus world-class restaurants, breweries, museums, and galleries. Read on for our guide to everything you need to know for your trip to Perth.

Planning Your Trip

  • Best Time to Visit:  The best time to visit Perth is in the spring (September to November) for most travelers. Fall (March to May) is also pleasant, thanks to similarly mild temperatures , but Perth's famous wildflowers are in full bloom in spring. Summer (December to January) is peak season.
  • Language:  Australia has no official language, but English is spoken almost everywhere. Many locals also speak another language at home, like Mandarin, Cantonese, or Arabic. Noongar  is the official language of the Aboriginal people of the southwest of Western Australia.
  • Currency:  The Australian dollar is the national currency.
  • Getting Around:  Perth's buses and trains cover most of the city and are relatively easy to use. You can buy cash tickets or use a SmartRider card across the network.
  • Travel Tip:  Perth runs on Australian Western Standard Time (UTC+8) and does not use Daylight Savings, meaning it is two hours behind Sydney from April to September and three hours behind Sydney from October to March.

Things to Do

Whether you're here for the unique flora and fauna or you want to explore the urban jungle, Perth has activities for every kind of traveler. Depending on the season, you can enjoy the beautiful beaches, go for a hike, visit a museum, and get some retail therapy all in one weekend.

  • In Western Australia, more than 12,000 species of wildflowers bloom every year.   The flowering season usually hits Perth in September, when Kings Park is transformed into a floral wonderland. Throughout all four seasons, Kings Park is Perth's top tourist destination, thanks to the panoramic views from the the treetop-grazing Federation Walkway .
  • You can easily spend a day exploring the port city of Fremantle, which is only 45 minutes by train from the center of Perth. Spend the morning at Bathers Beach, grab lunch at the markets , then visit Fremantle Prison to learn about Western Australia's convict history.
  • Take the ferry to Rottnest Island to meet one of its famous quokkas, a small, friendly marsupial that is arguably Australia's cutest animal. Rottnest also has 63 beaches   with crystal clear waters that are ideal for snorkeling. The ferry takes around 30 to 90 minutes, depending on where you board.

Explore more of Perth's coastline with our article on the best beaches in Perth .

What to Eat and Drink

Perth is packed with incredible restaurants, cafes, and bars that make the most of the city's seafood and fresh agricultural produce. You'll find many top fine dining spots in the city center and around Elizabeth Quay, while Fremantle is known for its wine bars and trendy cafes.

The inner-city neighborhood of Northbridge is the heart of Perth's nightlife scene, with pubs, bars, and clubs open into the early hours every weekend. You can also find Perth's Chinatown here, with plenty of authentic Asian dining options and fun late-night restaurants.

Check out our complete guides to which  dishes to eat  and the  best restaurants in Perth .

Where to Stay

The Perth metropolitan area (including the neighboring port city of Fremantle) covers around 2,500 square miles with about the same population density as Houston, Texas, so we recommend staying close to the main hubs.

Most boutique and luxury hotels are concentrated along the Swan River in the Central Business District (CBD), Northbridge, and South Perth, close to all the main attractions.

Over by the ocean, Fremantle is home to quirkier and more affordable offerings, and Scarborough hosts a couple of beachside resorts that are popular with families. There are also plenty of Airbnbs throughout the city and a good selection of airport hotels.

Learn about the different neighborhoods you can stay in and our recommendations for the best hotels in this guide .

Getting There

Almost all international visitors will fly into Perth Airport (PER). It is also possible to take the Indian Pacific luxury rail service from Sydney to Perth, or drive the 2,500-mile journey across Australia. The airport is located in the east of the city, and a 20-minute taxi or ride-share service will cost around AU$43 ($25).

You can also take Bus 380 from Terminal 1 and 2 or Bus 40 from Terminal 3 and 4, which will cost around $3. Renting a car can be cost effective and convenient if you're planning on traveling more around Western Australia.

Culture and Customs

Perth is safe, modern, and welcoming to visitors. The city is located on the traditional lands of the Noongar, an Aboriginal people made up of 14 different language groups, who lived in Western Australia for at least 45,000 years prior to British colonization in 1829.  

Tipping in Australia  is voluntary and usually only done at upmarket restaurants and bars (around 10 percent is standard). At hotels and with taxi drivers, feel free to tip a dollar or two if you would like to, but it's not expected. Servers and other hospitality workers receive a relatively high minimum wage, meaning tips do not make up an integral part of their income.

Money Saving Tips

Traveling in Australia is generally not cheap, and Perth is no different. You are likely to spend a large proportion of your budget on food if you plan on dining out, as well as public transport or car rental for day trips . However, it is possible to stretch your savings a little further with these tips.

  • Perth's public transport system includes a free transit zone in the center of the city, as well as free CAT buses that run seven days a week in the city and Fremantle.
  • The city offers free walking tours at 9:45 a.m. every day except Sunday, leaving from the Perth City Visitor Kiosk near the Perth Underground train station. You can register by email ([email protected]) or by visiting the kiosk.
  • Access to the Perth Cultural Centre in Northbridge is generally free, but there may be an entrance fee for some special exhibitions. The Cultural Centre includes the  Art Gallery of Western Australia , the  State Library of Western Australia  and the  Perth Institute of Contemporary Arts .

Improvements for daily commute

This app is great for someone who is new to the city and this app would help them around the city. It would be a really good for that. I use trans perth bus and train for daily commute. Trains are great, don’t need this app for that. I use this app to get to to my bus stop just in time to catch the next bus. What is missing in the app for a daily commuter like me is - when the next bus is expected to arrive at my bus stop based on real-time data. The buses plying my routes are always late and they arrived in batches, so some real-time feedback means I don’t have to spend 30 mins at the busy stop(with no shelter) waiting for my next bus. If what I asked is too hard, next bust thing would be - when I search for a route, highlight the bus which is closest to me based on my gps coordinates. When I search for routes currently, the order is based on scheduled times. This morning when searching for my bus route, the closest bus to me was on the 4th row and I had to mess around for 5 minutes to identify that. I am a developer myself and I can deduce from the app the type of real-time data at your disposal. What I am asking appears to me very much doable, especially my second request. I would love to hear back from Transperth with their feedback on my request.

Ok but one flaw for me

I live out of WA much of the time and the app seems to completely not take time zones into account. Trying to tell my kids to catch the next bus or whatever is really hard because the only way it makes sense is to set your phone to Perth time. Not a worry for most people but as a software engineer I know that it could so easily do the right thing. If I’m in the USA and ask what bus my kid should catch next at 6pm I do not want the schedule for 3am.

What a farce

I was in the app beta and was impressed with how responsive the devs were to limitations in the usage of the app and how to easily access information. All seemed well! But now the app has come out, it’s apparent that a user-friendly interface is just lipstick on a pig of worthless information. Several times now I have waited patiently at a bus stop for a bus that did not arrive when it’s “live tracking” declared it would. And each time, after the scheduled time the “live” designation was turned off and the app declared the bus to have gone past. Essentially, if the bus doesn’t make the timetable, it claims it has no idea where it is and gives you no further info. This is no more useful than the previous apps which just mutely gave the timetable and had nfi where a bus actually was. Why on earth is this happening? Is the “live” tracking a farce, and there is no actual geolocation or manual tracking taking place? Is there actual live tracking, but it’s being turned off when the bus is behind schedule? I can’t decide which of those is worse! But either way the presentation of this apps function is entirely dishonest, and seems to have benefitted only the developers bank accounts.

Quarantine – Protecting our State

Western Australia's remoteness has provided the State with a natural barrier against many pests and diseases. To help keep Western Australia disease-free there are strict quarantine laws regarding importing and transporting plants and food stuffs. 

While they may seem harmless, nuts, seeds, fruit and vegetables, plants, flowers, honey, animals and introduced birds pose real threats to the Western Australian environment. Even used fruit and vegetable containers should be presented and scanned by Australian Quarantine and Inspection Services (AQIS) to ensure they are clean, and present no risk. The best rule to follow is, 'if in doubt, declare it'. State-based AQIS officers are friendly, welcoming and professionally trained and generally return more than 90 per cent of declared items to visitors. They want you to have a great holiday in Western Australia.Be warned, heavy penalties apply to those people not declaring items identified as a risk.

Australia has a decimal currency system. Notes are a high quality polymer-based synthetic and come in denominations of $5, $10, $20, $50 and $100.Coin denominations are 5 cent, 10 cent, 20 cent, 50 cent, as well as $1 and $2. Prices under 5 cents are rounded up or down to the nearest 5 cent - that is, 3 and 4 cent totals are rounded up to nearest 5 cent, while 1 and 2 cent totals are rounded down to nearest 5 cent denomination.

Banks are open from 9.30am to 4.00pm Monday to Thursday, and 9.30am to 5.00pm on Fridays. Some suburban banks are open on Thursday evenings and Saturday mornings. Automatic Teller Machines are plentiful and readily available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Banks provide a full range of financial services including currency exchange, all at nominal rates. Electronic fund transfer machines (EFTPOS) are commonly used at most retail outlets, as well as by taxis, restaurants and hotels, and can be used to access many types of bank accounts and credit cards.

Tipping and Currency Conversion

Tipping is generally not expected within Australia, however it is acceptable to leave a small amount should you feel you have received exceptional service. Find out how much your currency is worth at today's  exchange rate .

There are three time zones in Australia:

Daylight Savings Time

Australian States except Western Australia, Northern Territory and Queensland have daylight saving. Also known as Summer time, Daylight Saving Time occurs when the time on local clocks is advanced forward by one hour at the beginning of Daylight Savings Time, and returned back by one hour at the end, during the summer months of December, January and February. The exact dates can be obtained from the relevant Australian State governments.

  • Central Standard Time (ACST - GMT + 9:30) in South Australia and Northern Territory; and
  • Eastern Standard Time (AEST - GMT +10:00) which operates in New South Wales, Victoria, Tasmania and Queensland.

Most businesses operate Monday through Friday, 9.00am to 5.00pm. All shops are regarded as general retail shops unless they fall under any one of the other categories including: small retail shops, special retail shops, filling - service stations or motor vehicle shops.

Getting Around Perth by Public Transport

Most of us can think of a time we were sitting in traffic, stressed out and frustrated. The good news is you can save time, money,  improve your health and help reduce emissions  while taking a break from driving by catching the bus, train or ferry instead.

Public transport is a great way to get around Perth for work, for sporting events, concerts, to check out a festival or for a spot of shopping. You’ll get more exercise along the way and have more time to read, relax, chat with a friend or catch up on the latest on social media.

This five step guide is designed to show you that with a little preparation using public transport is easy and it can actually enhance your journey. 

journey planner perth

Step 1 - Plan ahead and enjoy the ride

With a little preparation using public transport is easy. There are many excellent journey planners and apps that you can use to see how to get where you need to go by bus, train or ferry. Read below for a small snapshot of the most popular ones in WA, or click here  to find more handy transport apps.

Transperth Journey Planner

To plan your journey or for the latest timetables, g o to transperth.wa.gov.au . Just e nter your start and finish address or landmark and you’re off!

While you're there check out the Transperth ' Stops Near You ' page for an interactive map of Transperth services in your area. 

Transperth App

For the most accurate information try Transperth’s free app for iOS and Android. The free Transperth App  shows the latest bus, train and ferry information within the Perth metro area.

With the app you can: • Find the next services from any stop, station or jetty near you • Plan your journey, view it on a map and see where your bus, train or ferry is in real-time • Save your favourite journeys for quick access to timetable information • View fare and service disruption information • Get your SmartRider balance and register for SmartParker or a bike shelter

Download the Transperth app here .

Google or Apple Maps

If you prefer using Google or Apple Maps on your smartphone, tablet or computer, you can see a list of the public transport services available for your chosen journey.

1. Search for your destination, choose a starting point if prompted, then click ‘Directions’. 2. Click the ‘Public Transport’ icon (called ‘Transit’ in Google) and you’ll see a list of the public transport services available. 3. Select a public transport service and you’ll get a map and a detailed breakdown of how to get to your destination by bus, train or ferry.

Step 2 - Getting to the train station

Most of us can think of a time we were sitting in traffic, frustrated and stressed out. The good news is you can save time, money and take a break from the aggravation of driving by catching the bus or train instead.

We’ve found many people come from homes less than 2kms away, a distance that is easily travelled as a relaxing ten-minute bike ride or a 20 minute walk. An earlier start, a connecting bus, walking, or riding your bike to the station are all great ways to avoid parking hassles, save money and find time to be active.

Bikes and public transport

Bikes are welcome on-board trains, but for everyone's comfort there are some restrictions during peak periods. The exceptions are the three city stations during morning and afternoon peak times, inbound trains during the morning peak, and outbound trains during the afternoon peak.

For more information visit this  Transperth webpage .

Bike parking

There is secure bike parking at many train stations on the Transperth network and most others have U-Rails that you can secure your bike to. Transperth recommends using a D-Lock to secure your bike regardless of where you park it. To access a bike shelter, you’ll need to register your SmartRider for the shelter on the Transperth app or on the website. Once you’ve registered and arrived at the station, you can access the shelter by swiping your card to get in and out. It’s that simple!

For more information on registering for bike shelters, step 5 below, or   visit the Transperth website .

Catch the bus for free

Transperth bus services connect most suburbs in Perth to the nearest train station. If you catch the bus in the same zone as your station, you’ll pay no extra. Just use the same ticket or use a SmartRider and it will automatically work out the cheapest fare for you.

Visit the ‘ Transperth Fares ’ page on the Transperth website for more information.

Step 3 - Paying for public transport

Transperth has two types of ticketing: SmartRider and cash tickets.

Cash tickets

If you buy a cash ticket, it will have an expiry time printed on it which depends on the number of zones covered by your ticket. A valid ticket allows you to travel on any combination of bus, train and ferry services.

For more details visit the Transperth website - ‘ Tickets & Fares ’.

You can buy a SmartRider card from any Transperth InfoCentre or SmartRider retail sales outlet. Using a SmartRider will ensure you pay the lowest possible fare for your trip. All you need do is remember to tag on and off every bus service and at train stations and ferry jetties. You can even get a 20% discount if you register it and set up ‘Autoload’ – a direct debit from your bank account or credit card. A SmartRider costs $10 to purchase, and requires you to load an initial value of at least $10.

Check out the full list of  places you can buy your SmartRider .

journey planner perth

Tag on and tag off

All you need do is tag your SmartRider on and off on every bus service and at train stations and ferry jetties. Using a SmartRider is 10% cheaper than a cash ticket, plus you can even get a 20% discount if you register it and set up Autoload   – a direct debit from your bank account or credit card.

See step 5 below, or visit the Transperth website - 'Types of Fares ' for more information.

Step 4 - Get on board and relax

All set to go? Most people find it’s better to arrive at their bus stop or train station a few minutes before the scheduled departure time to avoid any last-minute rush . You may even discover you can take a later bus after you’ve tried it a few times, or that it’s better to get off at an earlier stop and walk the rest of the way. 

Make sure you signal the bus driver before boarding, then sit back, relax and spend your time reading, planning your day, catching up on news or simply enjoying the ride.

For more information, visit transperth.wa.gov.au or call the infoline on 13 62 13

Step 5 - Sign up for 'My Account'

Now that you've got your new SmartRider and you've tried a few public transport trips, it's time to take it to the next level. Go to the Transperth website and click ' Sign up '  in the top right corner. Having a Transperth  My Account login will help you get organised and stay informed. You can register to receive Travel Alerts about your regular services, register your SmartRider so you can check your balance and trip history and register your SmartRider for SmartParker or a bike shelter . This also means if you lose your card you don’t lose the cash value on it, instead it can be transferred to your new card.

Register your SmartRider

Make sure you register your SmartRider and set up  Autoload   through your newly created My Account.  Autoload is a type of direct debit so that your SmartRider balance will automatically be topped up when it gets low, as well as giving you a 20% discount on the full fare. It also means you never need to worry about topping up your balance. Just tag on and off you go!

You can also register your SmartRider  for  SmartParker through My Account. This means all you need to do is simply press the green button, then tap your SmartRider at the SmartParker machines in the carpark to pay $2 for your all day parking.

If you'd rather save money on parking, get some exercise and ride your bike instead, you can also register through  My Account  for the secure bike parking shelters at selected train stations.

See our 'How to Register your Smartrider' guide for step by step instructions.
