LukeNukem Posted November 19, 2013 Report Share Posted November 19, 2013 This is my first post so I'll keep it short and sweet. I'm arriving in Perth at lunchtime on NYE and am staying at the cottesloe backpacker hostel. I'm looking for a party but don't know where to begin, as I've never been to Australia before. I will be staying long term once I've found somewhere to rent. Any suggestions would be appreciated and info on taxis or public transport if the party isn't close to cottesloe!

lozzachino Posted November 19, 2013 Report Share Posted November 19, 2013 Im sure if you are staying in a backpackers they will be able to tell you, or you will meet people who will invite you to whatever they are doing. I think the beaches are normally a dry zone, ie no drink allowed. The party place in perth seems to be northbridge, and i believe scarborough can also be a good place for going out. All hearsay though as im far too old for all that now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fifi69 Posted November 19, 2013 Report Share Posted November 19, 2013 You may get lucky and be able to join some of your fellow backpackers if they have anything planned.... or you may be jet lagged and just want to sleep!! Your best bet would be to head to Northbridge, that's where most of the nightclubs are and they also have a street festival, live bands, dj's etc going on. You can get the train to the underground station and walk from there or take a bus to Wellington street and again a walk across the bridge will bring you here. Public transport will be running thru the night on a limited service. A lot of younger people also head to Scarborough beach...not sure what goes on there and technically your not meant consume alcohol on the beach but don't know if this is adhered too...

fifi69 Posted November 19, 2013 Report Share Posted November 19, 2013 Haha Loz looks like we posted that at same time.... would just add that Northbridge on NYE outside of the nightclub scene is a real family affair....all ages are there, a nice atmosphere.. not sure what its like after 12 though...

LukeNukem Posted November 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2013 Thanks for that. Sounds like train to Northbridge is my best option. Then taxi home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louise Dixon Posted November 20, 2013 Report Share Posted November 20, 2013 Maybe sleep of your flight on new years eve and head out to a dance festival new years day? Tickets are normally sold out by the day. All inclusive food and drink. Had great reviews http://cubanclub.com.au/about/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just be aware that taxis in Perth are a nightmare and on NYE they are even worse. Last time I tried to get one I didn't get home till 4AM (after finishing partying at 1AM) and I was lucky to get a taxi at all! So try and prebook something or go somewhere you can walk to.
