I'm off to Perth in October, any advice on things to do out there, places to eat etc, places to watch the Hammers?
Staying in Scarborough right on the beach so I'm told. Never been to Oz and cannot bloody wait.
My only fear is of snakes, hopefully I don't see any.

I remember the old days when people used to book to places they wanted to go for a reason.
Things to do while there - Enjoy yourself, maybe relax, watch TV, walk, get a cab, get a bus, swim etc
Places to eat - Restaraunts.
Place to drink - Bars/Pubs etc
Places to watch the football - Sports bar perhaps?
PS Perth is full of snakes, enjoy.

like already suggested, take a trip to Rottnest Island. it's worth it just for the two boat trips, one down the Swan River and then on the Seacat (maybe something else now) that takes you from Fremantle to Rottnest
Fremantle's also a nice place to visit with some nice bars and seafood restaurants
Cottesloe's worth visiting for it's beach but be careful swimming or surfing there as there are plenty of sharks about
you can get to Fremantle and Cottesloe by overground train, not a very long journey

What deffers says, plus it's meant to be as boring as hell there. Saying that, I want to go there for the Ashes test in Dec 17 as it's only 6 hours from here, was gonna go last time but never made it.

Is the Asian market stillthere? The one where they have loads of stalls full over stir fries and noodles with beef?
BTW, there have been quite a few shark attacks at Scarborough beach, so be careful of the water.

Its the spiders that crawl into your shoes or the ones that lurch around the toilet waiting for you to sit down that you need to worry about!

I have lived there for 34 years but am currently in Zurich, I still have my house there so I know you will have a good time. If you are staying with people and they have a car fine if not hire one. I helped run the WA West Ham supporters club for 15 years and I know they meet up at either the Casino or the Charles pub North Perth depending on KO time. They now have a face book page if you are into that which will put you in touch with other Hammers - Max runs it
Places to go - Northbridge and Fremantle for drinking and eating. If you have time head down to Margaret River region for fantastic wineries, beaches and scenery.

Put it this way, if you go in the sea, a shark will kill you, if you go in a river, a croc will kill you, and if you stay on land, there are so many poisonous snakes and spiders, Australians, South Africans and English people, you'll want to go in the water.

On the other hand, it's the furthest bit from NZ.

......and Italians. During a grade game we'd watch a little old lady dressed in black walk across the pitch and we'd play the game 'guess the nationality".
Usually they never made it all the way because they got eaten by the flies swarming around us cricketers.

like the others said stay in Freo. So much to do there and a really nice layed back town.
Again rottnest just to kick the quokkers. Margaret river and Esperence is worth a look.
If you have the opportunity go to Broome still on the west coast but a short flight. Mate it's a great part of the world.
