smilingsenthil Posted November 21, 2012 Report Share Posted November 21, 2012 (edited) After lot of deliberations on which city to choose (tossing up between Sydney and Perth), finally we decided that we can make a trip to Perth and we are indeed coming to Perth on 3rd Dec for a short stay ( only a week ). The idea is to get a nice look and feel of things and to see if that suits us. Just to introduce, we are Singaporeans , living in Singapore , basically from India. Both me and my wife are software engineers and have 3 kids (8yo,3yo,4mths old). We have booked an individual house in Joondana/Osborne Park (in Powell Street) for a 7 days stay. Though we are not from the UK, we are very much interested in making new friends regardless of the race. We would be delighted to meet up with few families who live in Joondana/Osborne Park or anywhere nearby. We don't mind inviting interested families to our house and let them taste some delicious Indian dishes :-) Would be great if you could help us with some tips on the places to visit during our trip. Though we are tentatively planning to settle down in Perth by end of 2013 , you never know. So we would like to take up this 7 days to see the most important attractions in Perth. Kindly help with your inputs. Thanks Kumar Edited November 21, 2012 by smilingsenthil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest1337 Posted November 30, 2012 Report Share Posted November 30, 2012 Swan valley for wine! & chocolate factory! Whiteman park Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ali Posted November 30, 2012 Report Share Posted November 30, 2012 Whiteman park is a great suggestion, it also has Cavesham wildlife park there too, and motor museum. You'll probably spend half a day in Caversham, take a picnic and enjoy the rest of the day. Fremantle Prison is a great tour - all our visitors have enjoyed this one Hillarys boat harbour - AQWA the aquarium is also near there I really like penguin island too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nutnudger Posted November 30, 2012 Report Share Posted November 30, 2012 With only a week in Perth you may not make it to this one by why not try in you can the berry farm down close to Margaret river there boysenberry port is just fantastic, then sit in the cafe and have the birds fly down on to your hand and eat love it there almost as much as the port Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smilingsenthil Posted December 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2012 Thanks all for your suggestions..I think I already have a loads of places to visit in a week's time. However, I would like to take up the opportunity to visit some schools as well to get some idea. Kindly advise if the office will be open since this is a school holiday season. I'm focussing on schools in Canning Vale, Willetton, Booragoon, Leeming,Melville etc. Kindly advise the best schools in these areas (primary). Margaret river seems to be fantastic based on my research but seems just too far to cover it this time. However, Whiteman Park looks fabulous and not too far away from where we are staying (Osborne Park). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
