We took a casual Sunday outing to the Northbridge part of town where you can find a mix of museums (Perth Cultural Centre), pubs, clubs, cafes, restaurants (Italian, Indian, Greek, Seafood etc), Chinatown and interesting "retro" clothing shops.
The Cultural Centre in Perth is a pedestrian walkway from the train station concourse linking both ends of the James Street Mall, Francis Street and Beaufort Street. The State Library, Western Australian Museum, The Art Gallery and PICA all lead onto the Cultural Centre precinct.
All this is very handily located next to the Perth Train Station too altho' various car Parks abound in the area.
Visit the museums or take a wander down James St/William St/Francis St/Lake St and scout out cafes, bars or restaurants amidst Chinatown. It seems they queue up on Sundays for Dim Sum so get there early!
Took in the "Earth from Above" outdoor photography exhibition. Awesome pics. (All aerial photo's shot from a helicopter fm between 30 to 3000 metres).
