    Perth’s Kings Park (Kaarta Koomba), one of the world’s largest inner-city parks, has been named as Australia’s top attraction in the 2024 Tripadvisor Travellers’ Choice Awards.

    The park features the spectacular Western Australia Botanic Garden, which displays more than 3,000 species of the state’s unique flora.

    It is also home to cafes, bushland walk trails, gardens and various children’s play areas that can keep guests busy for hours during their visit.

    Two thirds of the 400-hectare park is protected as bushland and provides a haven for native biological diversity.
