IMHO Caversham is good for kids and first time visitors to Australia. It's run to encourage children to interact with animals. However, Perth zoo is the easiest to access from Perth CBD as it's at South Perth, a ferry ride away from Elizabeth Quay. So depends on your plans. Caversham is about 30 mins drive from Perth CBD.I would go Rottnest to see the quokkas and cycle if you have never been although it is expensive. Caversham has nothing much imho.

Few lessons learnt;
1. I took midnight flight and regretted it the first day. me and my bil was extremely tired and my eyes was closing during the walk at Fremantle Prison. Driving was a problem as i struggled to stay awake and remember 1 instance i drove across the lane marking, while my bil drove a bit too close to the edge. nothing really dangerous happened but it is a risk. Will not take night flight again if i need to drive once Reaching the airport.
2. Hertz GPS sucks big time.. it was really bad and i dunno really why.. a lot of places cannot locate and lost signal sometimes too. luckily got google map to backup but it was a waste of money renting the GPS.
3. The whole lot of us couldnt even start a fire in the inside hideaway and needed farmer andrew to show us.. great example too show how books dont teach you a lot of things.
1) no issues with red eye flight, just need to plan it such a way that you get some rest before any driving.
Technically no issue as i returned in 1 piece. But i would really not advise unless you are one that can really sleep inside a plane with NC headphones,else i wouldnt count on an afternoon nap to ensure you feel fresh after landing. but then it could be due to my age too, need more rest type
2) G.maps would have suffice if you seek advise from us here
there's some history to this but TLDR is that yes google map is much more reliable provided there is good signal. If i'm going with only my own family which they will not be a co-driver/navigator i still still prefer a backup device.
3) Really depends, was it gas fire or real wood fire? Indeed it's something we don't have to do in SG
Anyone going Perth soon. Need some help here.
Pm me. Thanks
I like Mandurah too but personally don't find it very exciting.
Not really actually
Just spend 4D3N there recently and it's was wonderful.
Rented a house near the canel, like what we have here in sentosa cove.. $150 a night with 3 bedroom, fully equipped considering very cheap.
Fishing .. Feeding the birds and Swan..kayaking.. And watching dolphins swimming passby your door step.
Super relaxing and let down...
My family has a house there but it gets boring after a few days
Opt7: City shopping nothing really much. But i'm a guy, so...Also especially need help on day 7 & 8, if Truffle hunt or Lancelin Sand dunes are more worth the trip
