Wildflowers, Bushland and a Treetop Walkway

Kings Park sits on a hill above Perth's city center, overlooking the Swan River. Covering about 400 hectares, it is larger than New York's Central Park, and much of it is native bushland. The hill, known to the Noongar people as Kaarta Gar-up, has long been a significant place.

Opened in 1895 and renamed Kings Park in 1901, it includes the Western Australian Botanic Garden, opened in 1965, which displays thousands of the state's plant species. Each September, a festival celebrates Western Australia's famous spring wildflowers, from kangaroo paws to banksias.

The Lotterywest Federation Walkway, a glass and steel bridge, carries visitors through the treetops. In 2008 a giant boab tree was trucked about 3,200 kilometers from the Kimberley and planted in the park. The State War Memorial hosts ceremonies, especially on Anzac Day.
