Re: Places to GO/SEE in Perth/WA
We drove out to York for the first time on Monday. It's a pleasant little town about an hour east of Perth.

Anyway....
$8 this weekend to do the Valley of the Giants tree top walk at Walpole and it was one of the best value hour or so I've ever spent. They should charge double.
Also helicopter trip over Albany and the coast - again a little more than $8 but still worth every penny.
PS These are NOT day trips from Perth (but then nor are many others suggested on here!)

We did the treetop walk in Valley of the Giants too. I agree it was brilliant and well worth it. Kids ran on ahead while OH and I gripped the handrails and went slowly with me calling feebly to the children to be careful !!!

God, we went there last year, took us 2 hours to get there and it was all shut. The one and only pub wasn't serving any food, so went to IGA and filled up on shite. Got back in the car and drove home. Not a great day out

One place which is good for nice walks is Wungong Dam near Armadale. Lots of black cockatoos, wallabies, etc. Great place to exercise a dog. Loads of parking, bbqs and a few toilet blocks and generally we're the only people there!!!

The Serpentine National Park is a good one. Take a picnic and stuff for the barbie and some ginger nuts for the 28's. There's dams and waterfalls and all sorts up there. There is also the historical town of Jarrahdale.

Exmouth and Ningaloo Reef is the place to go for a longer trip - well worth it!

Having been to both Kalbarri & Exmouth I think it's definitely worth travelling the extra k's and going to Exmouth/Coral Bay.

We drove hours to get to York and when we got there there was just one street with a few closed shops on and a terrible pub!
The whole place took about 10 mins to get round.Prefer the York in the UK!
