Man attempts a day out in Perth with a $50 budget
However, British content creator George Redfern has put together a video on 'how to' enjoy Perth with only $50 for a full day of eating, activities and getting around.
In the video, Redfern explores the city on a Sunday where, with a valid SmartRider, travel on trains, buses and ferries is currently free.
He headed to Kings Park, commenting on the views and lush fauna, then made his way to the CBD to popular local toasted sandwich shop Toastface Grillah, spending $10 for his coffee and snack. George Refern Credit: YouTube
Redfern then travelled to Herrison Island to see the kangaroos.
His activities took him for a hit at the Wembley Golf Course driving range ($13) and then a takeaway alcoholic drink on Cottesloe beach ($5) — with the creator failing to realise drinking alcohol in public places is illegal in Western Australia and can attract up to a $2,000 fine.
That could have put a serious dent in his budget.
He finished the day in Subiaco, where he ate a plate of fish and chips for dinner.
He added that he was surprised by the $18 price tag and the crispness of the chips, something he had not experienced in his native UK.
He added a can of soft drink for $3.
His total for the day was $49.
Whether the creator has shown the best sides of Perth on a budget, or is just after hits and subscribers, is up to locals to decide.
George Redfern has nearly five thousand YouTube subscribers and a moderate following on social media with his videos focusing on travelling on a budget — often staying at accommodation on the lower end of the market.
After landing in Perth, Redfern put his content creation skills to good use showcasing his take on things sandgropers take for granted.

Global celebrities everywhere in iconic Wimbledon photo
Olivia Rodrigo. John Cena. Dave Grohl. Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas. There was as much star power — or maybe even more? — in the Royal Box at Wimbledon as there was down below on the Centre Court grass on Wednesday. And that was on an afternoon that featured two-time defending men's champion Carlos Alcaraz, No. 1-ranked woman Aryna Sabalenka, and 2021 US Open champion Emma Raducanu of Britain all winning matches at the grass-court grand slam tournament's main stadium to reach the third round. 'It's so special in the Royal Box to have those kind of people in there. It definitely adds a bit of pressure, I guess, if you look up and you kind of recognise (them),' Raducanu said. 'That's why I try and stay with my eyes on the court as much as possible. Only after, you kind of look up and take it all in, if they're still there.' The seats in the Royal Box behind one of the baselines are by invitation only, and there was quite a list of celebrities on hand for Day 3 of competition. 'I was trying not to look today,' Sabalenka said about the collection of boldfaced names, explaining that she might be distracted while competing. 'I was just trying to focus on my game. Later on, I'm going to open the social media (and ask), 'OK, who was there?'' Well, Aryna, here's a rundown: Rodrigo, fresh off headlining at music festival Glastonbury while on tour for her GUTS album, sat next to Cena, the professional wrestler and movie star.

Grohl, a member of the rock bands Foo Fighters and Nirvana, made an appearance, too, as did the married couple Chopra and Jonas.

Others taking in a day of tennis at the most famous court in the world included British athletes from other sports, such as Olympic gold medalists Sophie Bray (field hockey) and Tom Daley (diving), and Paralympic gold medalist William Ellard (swimming). Oh, and there was actual British royalty there Wednesday: Princess Michael of Kent.
