17:36
Find a spot on the ridge of Mount Moira in Kings Park & Botanic Gardens. The park is large, so give yourself time to walk to a good vantage point. The views of the Swan River and the city skyline are the main draw here.
17:56
Watch the sunset. On 15 April, the sun sets at 17:56, heading toward the W. The golden light starts around 17:22, so you will have about twenty minutes of warm light before the sun disappears. This is the perfect time for a photo.
18:41
Walk back toward the city to C Restaurant Lounge. It is a short nine-minute walk from the concert hall area, which is close to the park exit. The restaurant has amazing views of the entire city including Kings Park. The food is good, but the view is the defining feature. Enjoy an evening meal as the city lights come on.
19:26
Head to Lucky Shag Bar for a drink. It is located right on the river with great views. The bar has a focus on breakfast, but it stays open until 10:30 PM on weekdays (10:30 PM on Tuesday-Thursday). It also has live music and a great beer selection, making it a lively spot to wind down after dinner.
Local tip
Kings Park is a large area. If you want the best sunset views, head straight to the ridge of Mount Moira. The walk back to the city is pleasant, but if you are carrying heavy bags or just want to save energy, check the route for a bus or taxi back to the central area near C Restaurant Lounge.
