Perth
Australia’s sunniest capital is the most isolated city on any continent, anywhere on earth.
Sprawling alongside the meandering Swan River, the turquoise water, sparkling beaches and nearby port town of Fremantle attract world travellers of all types and witness arguably Australia’s best sunsets. Check out the city from the boardwalks of the buzzing new riverfront district of Elizabeth Quay.
A short ferry beyond Perth is the car-free home to the Quokka and a day of swimming, surfing and cycling around the tranquil Rottnest Island. A coastal outdoor lifestyle counts exceptional surfing, diving, fishing, windsurfing and sailing as popular Perth pastimes. Enjoy the riches of the fertile southwest region at the many great Perth restaurants with fresh seafood, well-paired wine and local beers a waterfront staple.
Explore fascinating convict history, underground tunnels and cramped cells of the international world heritage listed Fremantle prison. Hear the stories of the daring escape attempts, the notorious inmates and West Australia’s last act of capital punishment right here back in 1964.
Whether a city break or as a base to explore further afield, you’ll never run out of things to do in Perth.
