    Getting TO/AROUND:

    Perth has a great transport system. You can purchase a family all day rider ticket (after 9.00am on weekdays and any time on weekends & public & school holidays) to hop on and off the trains, buses and ferries for under $10 for 2 adults and up to 5 kids for the whole day. Now that's value for money!!

    Getting TO/AROUND: Ok, you've seen my tip on the famous free Perth 'Cat' bus, and you already know that any other Transperth Bus within the Perth area is free. But I've seen this cute red open top bus around the place and thought I'd give it a plug too :o) Ok, I'm a local and haven't bothered to catch it, but it definately looks like a nice way to hop on and off and vew the sights of Perth for a day. The sight below gives you the lowdown!....and btw, I think that for the price you pay, it's a nice cheap alternative to the 'free' bus services provided haha :o)

    Everywhere I go in Perth I see this cute little tram....well not a real one, it's on wheels.... but what a lovely way to see Perth. Like the open top red bus, it's a hop-on-hop-off service and definately another alternative way to see the sights of Perth. Actually just recently as part of the big Perth vt meet in 2007, allikat, hubby and I decided to do the Kings Park tour on this little tram and had the time of our lives! The driver was a real charactor and kept us laughing all the way! I highly recommend this little trip. Tram leaves from the Bell Tower here..in the pic. Just pay the driver when you get on.

    Easiest way to get to Perth from the International Airport is by Taxi....but if you want to save a few dollars then the Perth Bus Shuttle Service is the way to go. For full details & price, click the link below.

    The cheapest way into Perth from the Domestic Airport is by public transport bus. Catch a number 37 or 40 into Perth and you'll pay less than $5. Just look for a green & white bus.....can't go wrong ;o)

    Same thing when you travel back....just catch the same buses from anywhere in St Georges Terrace, Perth to the Domestic Airport.
