Kings Park Botanical gardens have a treetop walk, native plants and great views of the city and rivers.The Canning and Swan Rivers with playgrounds and walking paths are a few minutes away by car. Wireless Hill park has a playground and barbecue area and wildflowers in our Spring. Aug/Sept/Oct are best for wildflowers including kangaroo paws.
Train transport is a few minutes away by car, the bus station is five minutes walk or just go for a bicycle ride.
The South Perth Zoo is about 10 minutes by car and features nocturnal animals, wild animals, reptiles and of course kangaroos. The Fremantle tourist precinct (about 15-18mins) is a popular area for locals and visitors to enjoy, with many restaurants, hotels and shopping opportunities. Our many beaches have white sands. Beautiful Port and Cottesloe beaches are about 20 minutes away.
Perth city, the Art Gallery and Museum are 15 minutes via the Freeway. There is an Aquatic centre with a 50 metre pool, children's pool and gym about 1 km from our home.

We are Kevan and Sue, a recently retired married couple with four grownup boys and six grandchildren. Our interests are golf, tennis, walking, cycling, reading, watercolour painting, woodworking, the theatre and of course travel.
We have had four successful exchanges in Australia and New Zealand and are booked up for January and April /May 2012. We sometimes travel with another retired couple who are experienced exchangers also and would like this to be an option in our home exchange.
We would respect your home and take good care of it and would love to hear from you!
