2 Best Sights in Perth, Western Australia

Running parallel to Murray Street and linked by numerous arcades, the Hay Street Mall is an extensive, mainstream shopping area teeming with intriguing places. The mall is also a brilliant place to people-watch and support local buskers. Make sure you wander through the arcades and malls that connect Hay and Murray Streets, such as the Carillion City and Piccadilly Arcade, which have many more shops. Also, look for the monument dedicated to Percy Button, Perth's original street performer.

Gold-mining entrepreneur Claude de Bernales built this quaint outdoor shopping arcade in 1937. Today it's a magnet for anyone with a camera wanting to recapture the atmosphere and architecture of Tudor England, and for those looking for Australian souvenirs. Along its length are statues of Sir Walter Raleigh and Dick Whittington, the legendary lord mayor of London. Above the arcade entry in Hay Street Mall, costumed mechanical knights joust with one another when the clock strikes the quarter hour.

The Genuine UGG boot store is popular with tourists.
