AFFM
Although a few kilometres southeast of Perth, this museum has a wide collection of memorabilia relating to fly fishing in Australia since the 1880s.
Perth Baptist Tabernacle
Although this church is not old by Tasmanian standards (it opened in 1862), it's one of the few churches that retains its traditional 19th-century architecture. There's a service every Sunday at 10AM.
A small mid-range cafe, popular among visitors due to its favourable opening hours.
A small pizzeria with a decent menu. However, the catch is the pizzeria is a cash-only store.
Known for its whisky and gin.
Accommodation in a historic Georgian–Victorian house.
