Timeline
07:00
Arrive at Kings Park & Botanic Gardens. Follow St George's Terrace onto Malcolm St for the 2 km approach if coming from the CBD, or head straight to the ridge paths. The park is open 24/7, so arriving at 07:00 ensures you have the space to yourself before the midday crowds.
07:14
Stop at Botanical Café for breakfast or a light lunch. It is just a 14-minute walk from the main ridge area. Check that it is open; on weekdays it serves from 07:00 to 18:00, and on weekends until 20:30.
07:54
Head back out onto the trails to see the War Memorial and the Flame of Remembrance. This is the heart of the park, offering a striking contrast to the lush gardens and the panoramic view of Perth Water below.
Local tip
The walk from the entrance to the ridge is hot and uphill. Bring water and wear comfortable shoes for the 2 km approach if you are starting from the city centre.
