OK, so Perth is probably Australia's least interesting city, but you know there are worse places.
It is also a good jump-off point to go and visit Wave Rock, which is about 350km, or a four hour drive, due east. It is truely spectacular, less commercial than Ayres Rock and also serves as the main water source to the desert town of Hyden below.
OK, it is a long way to go just for a wind-eroded, 15m-high rock, but if you're in Perth you'll probably be bored and desperate.
