Kings Park is one of the largest inner-city parks in the world, covering about 400 hectares on Mount Eliza overlooking Perth. Much of it is native bushland, and it includes the Western Australian Botanic Garden and State War Memorial. Its lookouts offer panoramic views over the Swan River and the city skyline.

Cottesloe Beach is Perth's most famous beach, known for its white sand, clear Indian Ocean water and stunning sunsets. The landmark Indiana Tea House overlooks the shore, and Norfolk Island pines line the grassy terraces. It hosts the annual Sculpture by the Sea exhibition.

Rottnest Island lies about 19 km off Perth and is famous as the home of the quokka, a small friendly marsupial. Cars are not allowed, so visitors explore by bicycle, visiting more than 60 beaches and secluded bays with clear water ideal for snorkelling. Ferries depart from Fremantle and Perth.

The Pinnacles are thousands of limestone pillars rising from the yellow sands of Nambung National Park, about 200 km north of Perth. Some stand up to 3.5 metres tall and were formed over tens of thousands of years. A scenic drive and walking trails wind among them, and the site is especially striking at sunset.

Wave Rock is a granite cliff shaped like a giant breaking ocean wave, near the town of Hyden in Western Australia. About 15 metres high and 110 metres long, its curved face was formed by weathering over millions of years, with vertical bands of colour from mineral streaks. It is part of the much larger Hyden Rock.
