Travel: Australia - Perth

Check out http://www.stayz.com.au for apartments that will meet your needs as you are travelling with your parents... Very good website to book self catering apartments in Australia... Used them when I went to Perth with 3 other families in 2009.

Hi Johncwk,


which apartment did you stay?

The one I stayed is now up for sale... sad... but the one that my sis stayed in when she was there in 2010 is still available.

If you are heading down to Albany, highly recommend you to book this... We loved this apartment...

There’s a treehouse at the Blackwood River region. We loved it when we went there for our honeymoon years ago!!

I have never been to AQWA which is located north of Perth. But actually Busselton Jetty Underwater Observatory is a bit disappointing. Really depends on your luck what type of fish swim by. The water is murky and can't see too far away. I suppose if you are at Busselton Jetty, might as well go down to the observatory. My guess that AQWA is more like our Underwaterworld, based on their website.

Can't help you on your question about applying visa for your maid, I guess you could ask for the procedure at the Australian High Commission.

As for the rest of the answers, you can get lots of suggestions in the thread created for Perth - http://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/forum/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=5144

Hope that helps.
