Kings Park in Perth
September 28th, 2009 by Caroline
Perth is one of the most unique cities in Australia, with a rugged individualism coupled with a charming cosmopolitan sensibility, and visits here are delightful, even on the worst days. It has a fantastic cultural scene, with some of the finest festivals in Australia. It also has a long history of human inhabitation, where Aboriginal relics from over 40,000 years ago have been found. There are lots of museums with native artifacts on display, and it’s part of the cultural fabric here. There are Aborigne-owned and operated businesses, including tours and galleries, and this is a fantastic way to learn about the city. It is a really fascinating blend of the old and the new, where cultures and technologies are continually writing themselves on the cityscape. Our luxury Perth hotels are a splendid place to center your stay here.
Our hotels are a gorgeous feast for the senses, offering an experience in accommodation that will refresh the weariest of souls. Our Australian hospitality is very down-to-earth, and very warm, and you’ll be smiling before you’ve even seen your room. And after a lovely rest and a lovely meal, you’ll be ready to explore what Perth has to offer. You’ll see that the presence of the Nyoongar people is strong here, because the native population in Perth is higher than in other cities, and because there is interest in the art, tradition, and culture in Western Australia. It’s hard to avoid Kings Park and Botanic Garden in Perth, and it’s also an excellent idea to visit here, because there is much to see for every member of the family.
This was once bushland, and belonged to the Nyoongar people. The government has preserved this relatively small area, about the size of Central Park in New York, so that the citizens of Perth would be able to enjoy the nature here. It starts at Mt. Eliza and extends to the Swan River, and has been awarded the status of Heritage Icon. There are many historical things of note here, looking back to the events of the mid-nineteenth century that surrounded the creation of the park, and then there is the botanic gardens to see what was here even before a human presence. Of particular interest are the performances of the Warrdong Cultural Performers Group, who enact tribal dances and rituals, in a very complicated place with splendid vistas, and history still moving beneath the feet.
