    "It was super easy using the trip.com app for booking. Booked only 1/2 an hour before admission. By the time we were there our names were already in the list. We only had to show the email sent. Park was not too big and satisfying as it has many native Australian animals there. We got to take pictures with the wombat too. Do check out the photo sessions timing as you get to get up close and personal with the animals. Be careful to just hold the animals feet only😃"

    Kings Park
    >100km from downtown
    No.1 of Night Attractions in Western Australia
    Highlights: Kings Park is located west of downtown Perth, next to the University of Western Australia, and is one of the largest urban parks in the southern hemisphere. The terrain here is relatively high, overlooking the beautiful scenery of the whole Perth and the Swan River. It is a natural place for Perth citizens to rest. A total of more than 6,000 kinds of flowers and plants have been planted and cultivated in the park, of which 3,000 are unique wildflowers in Western Australia, including the state flower "Kangaroo Claw". The WildFestival held here every year is a major event in Western Australia and the largest wild flower show in the world, attracting tens of thousands of tourists. When you come here, you can see tens of thousands of potted plants, books about flowers and planting tools in addition to the usual flowers such as helichrysum, kangaroo claws, eucalyptus flowers and mangosteen. A long time ago, Kings Park was an important gathering place for Australian Aboriginal people, so it still retains the imprints left by the Aboriginal people at that time. There is an Aboriginal Culture and Art Museum in the park for people to visit. In addition, there is a state war memorial in the park to commemorate the soldiers killed in the two world wars, and the eternal fire in the square is to mourn the souls of those who gave their lives for the country.

    "Amazed by the pink color of the lagoon. Do visit during noon time for bright pink color!"
    Yallabatharra
    >100km from downtown
    Highlights: Hutt Lagoon, also known as Pink Lake, is a rare and magical lake on the coast of Western Australia. The lake is a short distance from the city of Geraldton and an aerial tour is a great way to see Hutt Lagoon. Pink seen from the air is purer and more captivating. Due to the high salinity of Dunaliella salina in the Hutt Lagoon, the lake is rich in carotene, and a special area has been set aside for carotene farming, which is sold to the world. Because of the bacteria and microorganisms produced by algae, the Hutt Lagoon has a pungent smell when it is close, so the beauty of the lake can only be felt by aerial sightseeing. The color of Hutt Lagoon varies with the salinity in different seasons. The colors of the lake are especially charming on sunny days.

    "It's a desert, so expect scorching heat! Was there last November. Visited this place twice (to and from Kalbarri)."
    Nambung
    >100km from downtown
    Highlights: The Pinnacles are located in the Nambung National Park (Nambung National Park), 245 kilometers north of Perth. The bizarre stone pillars in the park form a unique spectacle in the desert. In the flat sand dunes, limestone spire-like stalagmites stand everywhere. , the small one is only as big as a finger, like the formation of an ancient battlefield, known as the "Stone Array of Pinnacles". When Dutch explorers saw the desert landscape of this limestone column from their boats, they thought they had discovered the ruins of an ancient city. In fact these spire-like rock landscapes are a natural phenomenon of geological change. About 30,000 years ago, the roots of the plants growing on the stable dunes formed limestone after a long period of weathering. After the plants died, the continuous movement of the dunes exposed these calcified limestones to the surface, forming what we see today. of stalagmites.

    "The aquarium is small but had fun there. Took the Glass Bottom Boat and saw many sea creatures close-up. Had the opportunity to feed them and the kids enjoyed the entire trip to AQWA. Love the automated underwater tunnel where we get to see many different species and also had the chance of seeing the divers feeding the sea creatures.On top of that, there are also areas where we can touch some of the sea creatures such as starfish and even little sharks. last but not least thanks to the staff at the AQWA. All of them were very friendly and gave us a good introduction of the aquarium and the sea creatures they have. Awesome!"
