Timeline
17:50
Start early with a coffee and pastry at the Botanical Café. It opens at 07:00, giving you plenty of time to settle in before the crowds arrive.
18:55
Walk from the café to Supreme Court Gardens. This small, rectangular park offers a quiet, grassed space to stretch your legs and prepare for the view. It is just a short walk from your starting point.
19:25
Head to Kings Park to catch the sunset. The sun sets toward the WSW at 19:25, casting golden light over Perth Water and the central business district. Find a spot on the ridge to watch the sky change color.
20:10
End the night at The William Street Bird. This venue features an intimate outdoor area with city views, perfect for reflecting on the sunset. Drink prices are reasonable, and it stays open until 24:00.
Local tip
Kings Park is vast. Use the main paths near the viewing ridges for the best unobstructed views of the sunset over the Swan River. The walk from Supreme Court Gardens to Kings Park takes about 39 minutes, so time your departure accordingly.
