Why pay for a river tour when you can take public transport for a tiny fraction of the price? An institution we fondly remember from childhood trips from the city to the Perth Zoo.

Okay, we think zoos aren't great ideas overall, but this one is a caring, well constructed environment for animals, and really worth visiting.

We love Chinta's cakes, coffees, great service, eclectic menu [nasi goreng for brekky, yes please] and their groovy re-vamp of an old-school local garage. Bright red umbrellas keep off the sun in summer, but the north sun in winter keeps you toasty. They have a great little shop attached if you need last minute gifts or tchotchkes.

This is a beloved local institution. The food is delish and the vibe is perfect for a bit of local people-watching. It's a nice stop after a morning walk in lovely Hyde Park, maybe on your way into the city centre for some exploring. Gluten free options are no problem.

Good pub meals, great vibe, some terrific local, national and international performers are on offer at the Rosie. We love Saturday afternoon drinks in the courtyard with all the rockabilly types stepping out of their beautiful vintage cars. [The carpark full of Mustangs, Cadillacs etc is a must see.] It's still got a local bar feel even though the area around it has gentrified.

It's a drive down to Freo, but it's worth it to see what the hip locals get up to at their local divey live music venue.

After a free morning tour in King's Park, do go into Aspects. Whenever we need to find the perfect thing for folks overseas, we go in here to browse the local artists' glassworks, colourful monographs, local prints, art pieces and children's books. The staff are super friendly and the view from the front steps is a panoramic overview of the Swan River and King's Park gardens

This is an old school, pretty ugly, prosaic plaza. We go to Coles for the Coles Radio which always gets us humming. Don't forget to take your own bags. Also take a sweet tooth because across the way from Coles in the plaza is Europa - baklava and all sorts of treats are for sale and much cheaper than elsewhere.

The address linked is not our local Torres, which is much closer on Bulwer St, a quick hop away from home. It is a traditional butcher's shop with cheerful and old school staff. We've ordered pheasant, turkey but any kind of meat you enjoy, you will find here, as well as staple groceries like milk, Italian crusty bread, eggs, cheeses, oils, pastas, veges [often from their own backyard gardens]. Their continental rolls are a bargain if you need something to munch on during a day wandering the city.

Sightseeing
We like to drop into Reabold Hill on our way to the beach sometimes, even after many years living in Perth as locals. The changing seasons bring new flowers or wildlife in this high point along the coast. Get your bearings as you look over the coastal plain, the city, the coast line and breath in the smell of the coastal plain natural world. There are various paths that cut through the bush and take you down to the City Beach main swimming spots. Don't worry, you can cafe and take a few breaths before walking back up the hill to your car.

The easiest beach to get to from home is City Beach - just follow Vincent Street for ten kms and you will bump into the Indian Ocean's waves and the whitest sand around. There is lawn areas under some trees if the sand is burning up in summer, and that's a pleasant place to while away the hours with a book, a picnic and some cooling dips. It has life guards on hand and if you feel like taking the old boogie board hung up out the front of our house and giving it a whirl in the waves, City Beach is a good place to do that.
Clancy's, an unfussy [as in you can wear sandy shoes and casual wear] restaurant/ bar presides over the beach. It's great for breakfast juices too.
