BOLD HILL
This newly opened lookout is located about 8km west of the city in he suburb of Floreat. It offers great views in all directions except for the north, because its ugly hahaha.

KINGS PARK
Probably the most popular place to score skyline shots. I'll try not to show the common angles from here.

This ones actually from state parliament, which is a stones throw away from Kings park-

HEATHCOTE PARK AND WIRELESS HILL
These two great spots are located in Applecross about 11km south of the CBD. Heathcote used to be a mental assylum now it is a popular family spot. Wireless hill,while unsure of its place in history, I think it has something to do with early telecommunications. These two places are about 4km apart.

My city. I lived in Perth for nearly 10 years until returning to this dump( Britain ) 7yrs ago, but I gt back there as often as I can. The classic view from Kings Park is a skyscraper lovers heaven, and Perth is one of the undiscovered gems of the world. I am encouraging skyscraper lovers everywhere to check out Perths skyline from Kings Park. Long live Perth. X.
