More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step onto the coach as the city yawns into its morning light, the skyline of Perth sliding past the window while the Indian Ocean keeps time to the right. The first stop is Kings Park: a broad lookout where the city and the river meet, wind playing across grasslands and bottlebrush that dare you to look farther. From there the road runs west and the coastline unfolds — Cottesloe Beach stretching long and flat, waves tugging at your attention.
