Ever wanted to visit somewhere where you can get everything in one place, depending on your mood? Well, why not try visiting Perth?

Not only is it integrated with the city and the sea, you can also enjoy sights of wildlife if you know where to look.

Take a week’s trip down to Perth and enjoy all that it has to offer: from white sand beaches to absorbing the shades from tall skyscrapers to recording Instagram stories of the infamous happiest animal on earth - the Quokkas!

With the reopening of the borders, here is your chance to explore and/or revisit the place you have missed.

Get better deals when you choose to travel with Traveloka with direct flights from Malaysia to Australia from just RM577!

Just be sure to visit in between September to November when spring is aglow in Perth and the rain will rarely show its cheek for a smoother and enjoyable trip.

In Perth, there are an abundance of beaches for you to choose from to visit:

City Beach, the one closest to the city (about 15 minutes drive);
Cottesloe Beach where you can enjoy the sight of one of the prettiest sunsets;
Leighton Beach where the sand is so powdery white, you may need glasses as it is blinding!

Australia is a haven for those who just adore animals and insects!

From various reptiles and arachnids, to the intriguing kangaroos and the adorable, ever-smiling quokka, you can experience it all when you’re in Perth!

But, if you’re specifically looking to mingle with the quokkas, then you can visit Rottnest Island where you can enjoy a bike ride (the island is car-free!) and experience a rich cultural heritage on the island.

So, why not take the opportunity to learn about Perth’s Aboriginal culture in Kings Park, an important ceremonial and Dreaming area for Aboriginal communities.
