Named after the first Surveyor-General of Perth, Malcolm Fraser, this century old tree-lined avenue is one of the most visited sites in Perth.
The towering lemon-scented gums (Corymbia citriodora) lining Fraser Avenue from the main entrance to the restaurant precinct were planted in 1937 and each tree has a memorial plaque to prominent Western Australian citizens commemorated in 1929, the centenary of colonial establishment.
These majestic trees are lit with different coloured lights at night and are an icon in Kings Park - the Kings Park Lights.
Attracting millions of visitors each year, Kings Park's Fraser Avenue has a lot to offer the visitor.
For example, you could:
Visit Aspects of Kings Park for that very special gift, book or art piece.
