[day_for_night]

In Perth over the weekend, travelling on business. If any aussies would like to give some pointers on interesting things to see, it'd be much appreciated.

Any interesting art, historical, or natural things i shouldn't miss while i'm here?

Perth is boring, should have taken your business to MELBOURNE

Re: so I'm in Perth for the weekend...what to do??

johns is right, the eastern states is where it's at!

But seeing as you're already here:
Check out the beaches, although it's not the best weather for it
Go to Fremantle and have a look around
Go to Kings Park and have a look around
Enjoy fine wine/beer/food in the Swan Valley
The WA Art Gallery in the city has an exhibition of Egyptian artefacts from the Louvre
Go to Subiaco oval on Saturday and watch some Australian Rules Football
Go to the motorcycle show at the Convention Centre

That's all I can really think of at the moment…

If you had more time you could go down south to Bunburry/Busselton/Albany/Esperance, but if you're only here for the weekend that's not an option.

Feel free to PM me if you have any questions or are stuck for things to do.

I take it you mean, "Go throw an ancient indigenous weapon at an example of the native wildlife and they'll give you a beer"

OR

"Men who drink Foster's hunt kangaroo with boomerangs"

i'm sorry, but i really couldn't care less

Re: so I'm in Perth for the weekend...what to do??

Neither do the koalas. They're totally drunk of their asses to even know themselves whether they're a bear of a fish

now that you mention it, they did look stoned off their asses. could be because they eat a poisonous plant and sleep 18 hours a day. such an odd animal...
