I’m not sure about you but personally, I feel like the best way to experience a city is on foot. There’s this sense of tranquillity here in Perth that you don’t usually get when trekking through a concrete jungle. The fresh breath of autumn air that revitalises your body within those three-piece layers, clear blue skies that will have you strolling around the city without any hesitation and stunning views from the elevated looking points that makes you think, “maybe I should extend my trip.”
On the first morning, I started at Adelaide Terrace which led me through some of historical buildings such as St George’s Anglican Cathedral – one of the only few cathedrals around the world that are constructed of handmade bricks and hold a blend of local and imported materials for its construction including local jarrah roof trusses and arches, limestone from Fremantle, Victoria’s bluestone and Oregon pine ceilings – and Como the Treasury of which once was a State Building and now refurbished into a contemporary luxury hotel with good eateries within as well as remnants that age more than 140 years scattered meticulously around. I got engulfed in the architectural beauty of the London Court which boasts an inter-war old English style with statues of Sir Walter Raleigh and Dick Whittington at both ends, and a narrow street which in a way it reminded me of Diagon Alley from the movie Harry Potter. I then took a break at a nearby café for my caffeine fix.
