Perth Mint
Everything You Need to Know About Perth
Merely saying that Perth is the most naturally beautiful city in Australia would be a gross understatement. You have to be there to savor the unparalleled and breathe taking natural beauty which will blow your mind away. Even Captain James Sterling who founded this city, had occasion to make this statement and it was perhaps this scenic splendor which arrested his gaze.
Compared to other ancient cities of the world boasting of a rich historic past, Perth seems to be an infant – aged only 175/180 years. But with its baby steps it has taken a giant leap forward into the future and happens to be one of the most ultra modern and happening cities of the world.
The city has a warm and hospitable nature which has helped it to become one of Australia’s hottest tourist spots in a short period. Perth is romantically perched on the lap of the ancient Darling mountain range on the one hand; on the other hand it offers a captivating view of the turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean from its front.
This meeting point of mountain, rolling down into the sea is what contributes to the romantic charm and scenic visual splendor of Perth. Nestled in the crooks of nature, it is protected from fierce inclement weather by the Darling mountain range, but offers at the same times, huge opportunities for fun and enjoyment through its golden sun kissed mind blowing beaches.
Some of the must visits in Perth include ROTTNEST ISLAND, SWAN VALLEY, LONDON COURT, THE BURSWOOD PARK, THE OLD MILL, THE PERTH MINT, BARRACKS ARCH, PERTH BELL TOWER, KINGS PARK, BOTANIC GARDENS, and CRUISE TRIPS down the azure sea or a tram ride down the city. But I would also ask you to deviate a little from the clichéd done to death sightseeing itinerary and take a peek into the life of the aborigines.
If you don’t participate in the music, dance and culture of the aborigines, you will miss the most distinguished quality/aspect of Perth – the aspect that sets it apart from other run of the mill modern cities. These aborigines are the original and ancient inhabitants of Australia before the British colonized the nation and turned it into a commonwealth.
Britain used to dispatch half of its convicts and poor people seeking a fortune to Australia. If you are game for water sports, scuba diving, surfing, snorkeling, underwater trips to the bed of the ocean, then Perth is the right place for you.
Your journey wouldn’t be complete without a shopping break in Murray Street and Hay Street malls, the Forest Chase shopping complex; King Street is ideal for designer wear shopping. The streets of Subaico are a good place to source art and craft items whereas the best places to get hold of aboriginal handicraft items are DESERT DESIGNS, INDEGENART and THE CREATIVE NATIVE.
Some of the top fine dining addresses that are definitely worth a visit are 44 KING STREET for that distinctive Australian flavor, MOUNT STREET CAF…, INDIANA TEA HOUSE, FRASER’S, MAYA MASALA, BENGAL INDIAN CURRY HOUSE and LA PIZZERIA .
