Where to go in Perth? / Thank You WA

[Dire]

And don't sheep on the freeway cos these babies can do 4 lanes at once or something.

Haha, all the usual tricks to raise money, lol

Hey Jake,
I reckon we will go and check out your "Twisties", so what i can work out you approach Lascelles Parade from Ridge Hill Road, go down em and into Gooseberry Hill, then Kalamunda.
While we are out there might as well check out the Mundaring Weir, sounds like a pleasant drive, then go and check out where we used to live in Sth Perth. then back into the city.
Works out about a 2hr Drive (93ks), about a cruise distance and time !!

Lascelles Parade and Ridge Hill Road are on opposite sides of the zig zags. You start on the lascelles side and go down (west) and end up on ridge hill. Although what you said seemed mostly right, so I think you have it sorted

My new favourite road is o'brien road but thats not scenic or touristy, just twisty
We ran it last cruise. I also went there last night with a friend and nearly hit a pair of kangaroos just standing in the middle of the road. And got my ASC to come on at one stage too (its hard at night when you don't really know where you're going ).

Hi Jake, thanks for the info, just as well the way i looked at it i would have been going up the Zig Zags, only a minor adjustment to the map.
We will probly only go as far Sth as Bunbury take in Mandurah as well
Thanks for your help everyone, well Wed 6:55am (9th) we will be on tha plane, look out Perth here we come!! Lol

See Ya Tommorow Perth

Not really much to do in Perth I'm afraid.. maybe I just don't get out enough?

Fremantle is good for a day, check out the E-Shed markets while you're there and the museums are pretty cool too.

You could spend a good half day to full day walking around the city checking stuff out there

Zig Zags at night is probably worth a mention (i think it was before, I skimmed the thread) but don't go down too fast


There isn't really much in bunbury unless you like a 2hr drive down a straight highway just to be in a small town with a few shops and that's about it


apart from that I'm not really too sure, there's a few good roads if you're into driving and checking out sights like that

hope that helps
Graham

Well a Great Time was had in WA
Don't Know why you guys don't have more Members we saw heaps of CJ's they are everywhere!
Well we did most of the suggestions posted in here

Went To Two Rocks:


With this bloke watching over


Hillarys Boat Harbor:


Also Bought These: Low Maintenance Pets that "Breathe"


Fremantle, must say Ciccorellos was a big disappoint, nothing special bout those Fish and Chips, and Baskin and Robins Ice Cream not too bad
We thought the Markets were average (E-Shed and Fremantle) too many stalls selling the same things:

Random Wedding Cool Stretch Limo with Lambo Doors:


Perth Zoo:




The "Twisties" Were fun especially the last R/Hander, that was a full lock turn on the little Tida we were in, be very interesting at night, such a narrow rd
View of Perth From the Start at the Top:

]Start of the Twisties, not real indication of how narrow it gets:


Then went on from there to Mundaring Weir:



Did the Fremantle Jail Tour, glad we did was very Interesting:

Whipping Stock

The Hanging Gallows

13ft Drop


Also did Kings Park, Awesome Place with Awesome Views:




The Hire Car
Nissan Tida LOL


We did drive down to Mandurah, geez has that Town grown up since i was last there, New Marinas where money has moved in, the High Rise Apartments, etc

This Trip has left us wanting more, will have to go back soon,
Thanks WA !

Looks like u had a good time.... personally cicerellos is a rip off... the fish and chips has dropped its standards... if u want good stuff go to kailis or joes fish shack... joes' stuffed prawns are to die for..

[BlackBetty]

yeah first i thought i was unlucky at Ciccerellos, getting undercooked chips and really greasy fish, but after meeting a couple from Mandurah, they said the same thing, overated, was good years ago when they used locally caught fish.
The look of Joes Fish cafe put me off even trying them, there you go never judge a book by its cover..lol

[lancervr]

lol yeah my relies from singapore and malaysia were put off saying i aint eating in a shack but after some persuasion they finally did and were pleasantly surprised....

[BlackBetty]

Added couple more Pics

[Graham]

looks like you had fun, nice WA should of had a lil cruise with the tiida
