"There are hundreds of doors in Fremantle that make for amazing doorway snaps. The School of Philosophy here at Fremantle’s University of Notre Dame is probably the best, but that’s a tough call. The deep blue-green colour and the heavy, bolted detail make it an eye-catching backdrop for any snap."

5 Days in Perth: The Perfect Perth Itinerary
"CORE Cider House offers great food and even better cider (if you’re British, you’ll know that good cider is hard to find in Australia!). You can get tasting platters with a few different flavors, then grab a pint of whichever you like best while watching the sun bounce off the green hills. Of course, don’t drink above your limits if you’re the designated driver."
