The biggest population of quokkas is on Rottnest Island, just off the coast of Perth and Freemantle. This adorable animal is a marsupial, similar to kangaroos and wallabies. Quokkas sleep in the daytime, using spiky plants for protection. But this doesn\u2019t stop them from getting up to see their visitors! With their naturally smiley faces, who can resist taking a quick quokka selfie?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.staysitu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/mark-stoop-Svs0o9S_DOc-unsplash-perth-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9101 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.staysitu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/mark-stoop-Svs0o9S_DOc-unsplash-perth-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.staysitu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/mark-stoop-Svs0o9S_DOc-unsplash-perth-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.staysitu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/mark-stoop-Svs0o9S_DOc-unsplash-perth-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.staysitu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/mark-stoop-Svs0o9S_DOc-unsplash-perth-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.staysitu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/mark-stoop-Svs0o9S_DOc-unsplash-perth.jpg 1773w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1024px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1024\/683;\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Courtesy <a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/\">Unsplash<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Picnic in the world&#8217;s largest inner-city park<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Kings Park in Perth is the largest park in the world.

Kings Park contains an amazing botanic garden, showcasing the state\u2019s spectacular native plants and flowers. There are bushland walking trails, formal gardens filled with blooms, and discovery play areas for children. Kings Park has amazing view over Perth city, as well as panoramic views of the Canning River and the Swan River.  To the east you can see the Darling Ranges. Two thirds of the park is protected bushland to safeguard native biological diversity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"770\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.staysitu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/joshua-leong-veQNIe_0lrU-unsplash-kings-park-perth-1024x770-1.jpg\" alt=\"Road, park and ocean\" class=\"wp-image-13432 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.staysitu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/joshua-leong-veQNIe_0lrU-unsplash-kings-park-perth-1024x770-1.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.staysitu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/joshua-leong-veQNIe_0lrU-unsplash-kings-park-perth-1024x770-1-300x226.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.staysitu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/joshua-leong-veQNIe_0lrU-unsplash-kings-park-perth-1024x770-1-768x578.jpg 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1024px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1024\/770;\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Courtesy Unsplash.com<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Swim with a whale shark<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If swimming with the world\u2019s biggest fish is high on your bucket list, you\u2019ve come to the right place!

For a quirky day out, drive two hours south of Perth to Gnomesville, a unique community of garden gnomes. Located en route to Margaret River in Ferguson Valley, the origin of this unusual gnome village is a mystery. Perhaps it was created when someone dumped their garden gnomes here and others followed by leaving the lonely gnomes some friends! Now there are over 5000 gnomes in the community, all busy with different activities. Visitors are encouraged to bring their own gnome to live here. You\u2019ll need to bring a sign for your gnome showing where it has travelled from. There are gnomes here from all over the world: Ireland, Spain, New York, and the UK. &nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.staysitu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/colin-osborne-ScWl_m8upho-unsplash-gnomesville-perth-1024x683-1.jpg\" alt=\"community of garden gnomes\" class=\"wp-image-13536 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.staysitu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/colin-osborne-ScWl_m8upho-unsplash-gnomesville-perth-1024x683-1.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.staysitu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/colin-osborne-ScWl_m8upho-unsplash-gnomesville-perth-1024x683-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.staysitu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/colin-osborne-ScWl_m8upho-unsplash-gnomesville-perth-1024x683-1-768x512.jpg 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1024px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1024\/683;\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Courtesy Unsplash.com<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Head out for a multi-beach walk<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Last but not least on our list of top fun things to do in Perth, Australia is walking the chain of wonderful sandy beaches just west of the city. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Start at Cottesloe Beach and walk (or run!) the expanse of white sand to Leoghton Beach at Freemantle Harbour (although you will need to divert onto the footpath at times). The distance is five miles both there and back, and there are even outdoor gyms along the route if you are feeling particularly energetic!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another popular walk is from Trigg Beach to Sorrento Beach on a shared walking\/ bike trail. The sea views are lovely and there\u2019s the added incentive of a fish and chip bar at the end of the trail!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"640\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.staysitu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/nathan-hurst-QjoJrmhkMBw-unsplash-1-cottesloe-beach-perth-1024x640-1.jpg\" alt=\"Long white sand beach and ocean\" class=\"wp-image-13387 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.staysitu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/nathan-hurst-QjoJrmhkMBw-unsplash-1-cottesloe-beach-perth-1024x640-1.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.staysitu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/nathan-hurst-QjoJrmhkMBw-unsplash-1-cottesloe-beach-perth-1024x640-1-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.staysitu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/nathan-hurst-QjoJrmhkMBw-unsplash-1-cottesloe-beach-perth-1024x640-1-768x480.jpg 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1024px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1024\/640;\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Courtesy Unsplash.com<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-dots\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>We hope you\u2019ve enjoyed our top five fun things to do in Perth, Australia.
