There are quite a few sites to visit here, such as the DNA tower, the sky bridge, the botanical garden and obviously the memorial.

I have no idea why this place has become an internet sensation and why everyone is looking to get a selfie moment with this boat house. I've travel past this boat house for 5 years travelling to and from UWA and have never actually stopped here.

They do pretty nice lunch specials. I eat here for lunch sometimes. There's quite a lot of Thai people who eat here so I'm thinking it must be pretty authentic.
Note: It is quite spicy and sour.

Perth is a pram friendly city
I personally travel with a pram when I'm out. It's super easy to get around in Perth with a pram.
Transperth (Green) buses have ramps to cater for prams and people in a wheelchair. Just ask the driver to extend the ramp
Note: Only the newer looking buses have the ramps. (all CAT bus have this ramp)
