Perth shopping.Perth shopping is world class. Shopping centres throughout the metropolitan area and all are fully air-conditioned and have plenty of parking facilities for both parents with infants, the elderly and disabled. As well as the air-conditioning and the parking they all have, would you believe, a wide variety of shops ;). If you are looking for a specialty store, department or discount store, supermarket, or food hall, then the Perth shopping centres are the places to head for. 
The two main outdoor Perth shopping malls are the Murray and Hay Street malls both of which are closed to traffic and offer a wide range of specialty stores. There are several arcades that run off either Murray street mall or the Hay street, mall and link the city from St George's Terrace to Wellington street. The Perth shopping in the city centre can easily be accessed by public transport, either on the trains or buses. The train and northern bus stations are very close to Forrest Chase (off the Murray street mall), and can be accessed via pedestrian walkways. Throughout Perth, the public transport provider, TransPerth, gives people the ability to travel anywhere within the city on a CAT, which is a free bus service.
