Meena,
While you are in Perth you should spend some time in the south-west
corner of Western Australia. At that time of year there should be
abundant wildflowers and rich birdlife particularly honeyeaters.
Anywhere on the map that says nature reserve could be interesting!
Then as Robin has suggested, the rainforests of the east coast of
Queensland and NSW should be a complete contrast to W.A. and equally
fascinating.
good luck,
Vicki
