Tips

For a more relaxed pace, swap a full‑day excursion (e.g., Rottnest Island) for an extra beach day or additional time at Kings Park. To shorten the trip, combine the Swan Valley and coastal activities by staying near the beach and doing a half‑day wine tour. Remember Australians drive on the left; many CBD parking spots are metered (AU$2‑$4/hr). Bring a reusable water bottle and sunscreen for November’s mild spring sunshine.
