The pavement hums under your trainers and the Swan River dares you to look away. Start near Hay Street Mall and the city opens like a map: modern glass faces, art deco corners, and the river’s black swans gliding like punctuation. The Let’s Roam app steers the route while photo challenges and riddles hand you reasons to stop, laugh, and look closer.

History
Perth’s layout reflects early colonial surveying by Captain James Stirling and centuries of Noongar presence; modern landmarks like Yagan Square foreground Indigenous stories.
Conservation
Stay on paved paths and avoid feeding wildlife; the Swan River’s health is sensitive to runoff, so carry out litter and use refillable water bottles.

Charge your phone
The hunt runs entirely through the Let’s Roam app—start fully charged and bring a portable battery if you plan to snap lots of photos.
Wear comfortable shoes
Paved city streets mean easy footing but expect 2–3 km of walking with stops—supportive shoes keep the pace enjoyable.
Time your start
In summer, begin early or late to avoid peak heat; mornings are best for crisp light and cooler temps.
Use public transport
Perth’s buses and trains put you close to start/finish points—park-and-play is easy if you prefer driving.
Comfortable walking shoes
Supportive shoes make the 2–3 km of walking and frequent stops far more enjoyable.
Fully charged smartphone
The Let’s Roam app provides maps, riddles, photo challenges, and leaderboards.
