Perth on Boxing Day is resting in that shadow of Christmas and people need to relax and take it all in. Kids, big and small, are playing with new toys and if it is warm in the afternoon then it could be nice to head to the beach or Swan River side!
Find a park like Kings Park and have a picnic or wander the city and find a Perth venue to kick back with a cold one and watch the Cricket Test live from Melbourne on a big screen.
