Looking for recommendations for a single 40-50yo male spending NYE in Perth (helping neighbour with his holiday). He doesn't want to do a cruise or go clubbing, maybe just hang out at a pub and/or see some fireworks. Perth cbd will probably be a bit dead and I'll tell him to stay away from Northbridge but apart from that I'm not sure... maybe Fremantle or Cottesloe to Scarborough?
Scarborough should be good again for summer. It's been under construction for 2 years but it's starting to open up a bit. I'm not sure if Bathers in Freo does anything for NYE, but that'd be a good spot, especially if they let off fireworks on a barge or something.
