well, Perth as a city is quite small and there isn't a whole lot to do around the city centre itself. The beaches are where the action is - Cottesloe Beach is probably the nicest but they're all good really. The beaches are very close to the city. Wind and kite surfing are very popular.
Fremantle is a lovely little town (a suburb of Perth really at this stage) and is worth a couple of visits - a lot of interesting convict history, if thats your thing.
Rottnest Island (about 20kms off the coast) is a great spot for a day trip - hire bikes and take them on the ferry (leaves from Fremantle). You can cycle right around the island is a few hours and there's lots of nice beaches and coves to stop off and have a dip.
There are wildlife parks, zoos, waterworld parks etc around Perth - I lived there for almost 2 years but never visited them so I can't comment.
Any other trips out of Perth typically take a few hours drive. Margaret River is the most popular - a big wine region and also a good spot for surfing.
