Not so far from the centre of Sydney, La perouse beach is a nice place to see the beautiful views and to have a realxing surrounding around you. The place actually gives you a piece of mind and the beauty is just sheerless. People also go there for wedding photo shoots because the views are just so awesome.

This museum had free entry and a lots of things to see. Good collection of historical things. I like the mannequins drapped with the scrapes found on beach and public places around. That place was so beautiful, scenic and peaceful to enjoy day outing with family and friends.

Very awesome place, especially with the exhibition that's happening at the moment. Entry is free (at least when I went). The staff member sitting at the desk was incredibly friendly, and wandered around the museum talking to visitors and telling us more about the art.

Fantastic museum to visit, very interesting facts about Australian and aboriginal history and founding of the world. Was easily visited in under an hour as it's not an overwhelming amount of information and is laid out very well. Would highly recommend visiting.

A wet Saturday turns out to be the perfect time to visit. Very interesting museum about the explorer La Perouse and the history of the area. Housed in an old cable station near where La Perouse came ashore in 1788 just after the first fleets arrival.

Small one .... but a lot to catch the eyes of explorer minds and those who love and cherish about history! I reached almost closing time, so didn’t get enough time to study all artifacts or explore the museum itself completely...for sure

Wonderful little museum. Definitely worth the trip as it is surrounded by the ethereal little beach with low tides, perfect for a beach read. The rich history that is seen in this marvellous Victorian Georgian style residence consists of

Made it to the penultimate day of the exhibition on the French Explorers who helped put Australia on the map. Great spring weather. Everyone was out. Parking difficult. Someone should lend the Musée Lapérouse a lawnmower.
