Subiaco has a population of 15,000 and is approximately five kilometres from the central business district of Perth, the capital city of Western Australia.
You can stroll through beautiful Kings Park down Hay Street and walk from native bush into cosmopolitan fashion, food and coffee. The main retail area of Subiaco is one of Western Australia's finest fashion and restaurant scenes. There's plenty of opportunity to experience every cuisine imaginable before or after an exciting day's shopping.
Then why not wander off the main roads down through 'village' Subiaco's narrow, leafy streets? They hold a wealth of beautifully restored homes which reflect the city's working-class roots. Pop into the quaint Subiaco Museum and see memorabilia dating from its settlement by Benedictine monks in the 19th century and also experience a powerful meeting with local Aboriginal culture in the Noongar Room. There's also the pleasure of exploring the grounds of the University of Western Australia and the natural beauty of the Swan River at Matilda Bay. You might also like to catch a show at the two professional performing arts centres in Subiaco: The Regal Theatre and the Subiaco Theatre Centre.
And you can't visit Subiaco without experiencing the thrill of an Australian Rules football match at Subiaco Oval, the premier home of national football. Subiaco is home to fine restaurants and many cafes and bars.
The cuisine ranges from innovative local dishes in the major restaurants through Asian and European cafes and restaurants to the fast food chains.
