Lastly, you’ll swing by the Supreme Court Gardens, where you can picnic on wide-open lawns. Trees, garden beds, and benches spread throughout, and if you time it right, you can catch events like the Birak Festival or Opera in the Park.

Set in one of Earth’s most celebrated inner-city parks, the Kings Park Tour is a feast for the senses. Think fragrant flowers in the botanic garden, unabashed bushland trails, and the majestic Perth skyline.
This tour takes the crown for wildlife and bird watching too, as it meanders through the park’s most secluded sections. Moreover, towering trees line the path to provide ample shade, so you won’t have to worry about looking like a well-done Wagyu post-tour.
Oh, and we can’t overlook the historical landmarks, especially the Barracks Arch, built in 1863 and once home to the Enrolled Pensioner Force. And then there’s the Boab tree, with its quirky bottle-shaped trunk that makes it stand out—physically and metaphorically.
