Erm, as someone new to Perth, none of these places were on my list of things you 'must' visit in the first place. And, yes, I did read lotsa websites and my old school Lonely Planet. Most things I've visited (and I haven't visited those cafes which are not tourist attractions in the first place) have been pretty much as expected. And I expect service and quality to be a little patchy in a small city. If I had to nominate an overhyped 'attraction' I'd nominate... E shed markets in Freo - same old stuff, all made in India or China, which you would find anywhere in the world.
