"A serene and sprawling public space close to the waterfront, Esplanade Park is great for picnics, sunbathing, or a spin on the giant Skyview (Ferris) wheel. There are playgrounds for the kids, majestic Norfolk pines, and it’s close enough to the city that it makes a nice respite from the workday, with local workers and tourists alike enjoying a quiet moment in the park before returning to the real world."

The Best Restaurants in Perth in 2021
"When the husband and wife team behind super popular food truck Comida do Sul opened Madalena’s back in the tail end of 2018 , it was no surprise that it became one of the most talked about restaurants in Perth, and Australia at large. This relaxed boteco has a menu that celebrates local seafood, as well as a wine list curated in conjunction with the guys at Wise Child. You’d think you were on the beach in Barcelona if it wasn’t so classically Perth."

The Best 15 Restaurants in Perth
"This laid-back wine bar and restaurant burst on the South Fremantle scene in 2019 and hasn't looked back. Featuring natural, low-intervention wines, craft beers, vermouths, and Western Australian sustainable seafood, Madalena's is the kind of place you can spend hours immersed in conversation over an unpretentious, delicious meal. The fish of the day is almost always a winner, making use of whatever chef Adam Rees can get his hands on."

"First cab off the rank is an obvious one, but we’ll throw a little twist on it to make it interesting. Late last year we went on a little hunt to find the best kids playgrounds around Perth, and managed to dig up 20 that are not only great (one even has a volcano), but will keep the tiny ones occupied for hours (check ‘emHERE). We’ve also located a heap of great nature playgrounds to explore, which you can check outHERE."
