• Kangaroos at Heirisson Island - yes, these quintessential Australian animals can be seen, if you're quiet and don't startle them!  The island is only a 5 minute drive from the Comfort Apartments South Perth, and is a natural bushland setting in the Swan River

• iFLY - Indoor skydiving - Indoor skydiving is the simulation of true free fall conditions in a vertical wind tunnel. The invention of modern wind tunnels has given skydivers a consistent and practical way to develop and hone skills that usually require jumping from a plane.

  Additionally, the increase in availability of wind tunnels has created a whole new genre of sport – bodyflight! It is one of the most exciting and fastest growing sports in the world. There's no parachute, no jumping and nothing attaching you to planet Earth! It's just you, the air and an incredible adrenaline rush.
