Japan is the place to see bamboo. Not sure the climate is quite right in Perth. If a park as you describe does exist, it is very well hidden and unsigned.

If you are still in Perth, I'd recommend paying a visit to the "Friends Restaurant". You don't just pay for the food, but also the experience. Have a look at the restaurant's reviews and their menu and decide for yourself if the cuisine suits your tastes first though! May not be for everyone :)

There is always something to look at all year round. It is a spectacular location, highly recommend this park anytime of the year.

Yes, there is a free 935 bus from the city which drops you off right at the park and the same number bus returns you to the city.

Yes south of the park is good but many areas are good for children to play

Sorry again; I was right in the first place, DNA Tower is in Kings Park.

Yes , dogs must be on lead.

Hi there, sorry for delay in answering , I have been away myself. I did not see a BBQ area but am pretty sure there is one. Sorry I cannot be more helpful.

Hi, April is the start to our winter so there will be little in bloom at that time of the year as far as native plants go. Our Spring and wild flower season starts in September. There are river cruises available on the swan river and if the day is nice it is beautiful. Strangely enough when I was a young woman I worked on that cruise and we used to do a commentary on the down stream leg. The company is called Captain Cook Cruises and worth an investigation. They used to give one way upstream trips. Fremantle, where you will dock is unique to Perth which is metropolitan and has a different feel. Much more laid back. you will already be in the harbour where there is a fabulous new Maritime Museum which will give lots of history and there is also an old Prison within walking distance. Recommended This will give you an incite into Bushrangers and prison immigrants that colonised West Australia.The offer tours with some of them being underground where you can paddle in canoes. There is some ladder climbing involved. The train will take you to the heart of Perth and just outside the station there are Free cat busses each one taking you to a different area. This is a shopping district with many skyscrapers that house large mining companies. It is still a beautiful city. At the station entrance there is a help centre and you are able to hire lockers. Enjoy your stay :)
