concern_mum:
thanks lwm99, how about going back? Do i take a train than followed by bus. How does their bus operation work?
concern_mum, it depends on your location. You could be taking bus follow by bus, or bus/train combination. One way is to use Google maps to get the direction and transport, or try email the park to ask for direction.
One thing to note is when you alight at the bus stop outside the park, you have to press a intercom to ask the park to send a vehicle to pick you up as the main road bus stop is quite a distance from the wildlife park entrance. On the way back you can also ask them to send you back to the main road. Best is to check again with the park for the arrangement before you go to see if there is any change.
Anyway, best way to go there is self driving. -

Not possible to get for dec departures these days.. -
Personally find Perth quite a boring place.
Came back recently... like nothing much to do over there.
Highly recommended that you self-drive.
Else you will be stuck in city area and probably can complete the itinerary within 2 days. :imcool: -

Why was it boring? Too many days there? My itinerary for my dec trip there is packed to the brim. We took a F&E package that included 2 full day tours to Swan Valley and Fremantle/Mandurah area. Looks interesting to me. We are also taking the cab to Caversham and Perth Zoo/AQWA on our own. I am going to Subiaco Station Street markets and Burswood Casino as well.
For Perth, it’d be boring after 6-7 days there. It’s already better now with the supermarkets open till 9pm weekdays. I was there when I was a kid and shops closed at 5pm. hahaha
Don’t want to drive as DH isn’t comfortable with it. Cabbing is a cheaper alternative than joining the tour operators. Was thinking of catching the public transport - train, ferries etc - but gave up coz we have no time to lose. Just cab lor… -

For zoo can just take a ferry ride across from the jetty at the SwanBells there. My kid enjoy the ferries ride. We tried bus to the AQWA enjoying the scenenary and austraila housing design along the way. Took train to the Fremantle town and various directions to explore.Wonderdad

Within Perth city there is free CAT buses available too. -
Anyone knows if there is any chinese restaurant near to Goodearth Hotel? We are staying there for five nights. What can we do at the Pinnacles Desert? Is half a day sufficient? Are we able to ride the quad bike or go kart?
