Bunbury and Mandurah
These are 2 very interesting towns not too far from the city of Perth. There is quite a bit to see in the 2 towns but visiting Bunbury and Mandurah is often combined with a trip to Lake Clifton.
Lake Clifton
Lake Clifton is arguably the favorite choice when it comes to day trips. After all it is home to the thrombolites which are microorganisms that also happens to be one of the oldest creatures on earth. If you are keen on sighting some thrombolites take a stroll down the boardwalk across the lake. The many smooth rocks that you would see carpeting the surface of the seabed are actually the creatures!
Perth Hills
Located right behind the city, these hills offer the ideal setting for a quick escape from Perth. Adorned with viewpoints and walking tracks this attraction gives visitors the best dose of nature.
The Beach
A quick trip to a beach on the outskirts of Perth is sometimes the only day trip you need. If you find all else to be too much planning and too much hassle, just pick your favorite beach, grab your swimwear and you are good to go. Cottesloe beach for instance is just a short drive from Perth city and is an ideal pick anytime of the year.
