The city has free barbeques all over the place. Buy some meat and salad and enjoy an evening by the river at Point Walter or Kings Park, or by the sea at Cottesloe Beach.
Cycling around the Swan River between the Narrows bridge and Stirling bridge at Fremantle can be made into a half-day trip stopping at the excellent cafes at Matilda Bay, Peppermint Grove, the Left Bank (Fremantle) and Coffee Point (Applecross).
Bikes can be hired at many bike shops around the city. Go in the morning when it's less windy
There are many excellent courses around the city and the public ones are very cheap. Try the nine-hole at Point Walter for beautiful views of the river and $15 for a round.
Honour Avenue, Bicton, Point Walter, on the south side of the river; tel: 8 9330 3262
