Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area
We live in a leafy inner suburb of Perth, within 5 minutes of a variety of restaurants, cafes, supermarkets, an outdoor food market, a library and clothes shops. Our street is blocked entry at one end, so it is nice and quiet, with well-maintained family homes. It is 15 minutes walk to a train station for a quick trip into the centre of Perth or you can easily cycle around the river, which is also close.

Our home exchange - places to go and things to do while staying in our home
We love where we live because it is walking distance to a couple of excellent cafes and restaurants and a 5 minute drive to more of the same. In Summer, there is a night market on a Monday evening just at the end of our street which sells a wide variety of foods from different countries. We also like riding our bikes to the river (20 minutes) and following the bike path to a mini-harbour for icecream and snacks.
