3 Days in East Perth

Staying in East Perth at Crowne Plaza Perth for 3days 2night. Though the hotel was decent and nothing of fancy, and was a bit expensive for close to A$450 a night (Premium 2 Double 1 single room), but the location was nice as it was close to the swan river. Nice scenery. Can consider taking leisure walk along the bank to the Bell Tower and Elizabeth Quay. All within walking distance. There are also closer hotels to the CBD which will greatly reduce the walking distance. I would consider some hotels closer to Murray Street or even Perth station if food, bars and shopping are the key focus. These locations are also near to the WA museum Boola Bardip and other cultural centre. Deserve a thumb up to Bolla Bardip, very amazing exhibits at low cost to public. Can literally spend a day to understand on the history. Given more time, I would probably spend more days here as well.
