Perth | Western Australia
Greater Perth
Ask anyone from Perth what they think of the other capitals and you’ll probably get a blank stare, and an invite to the next Sunday ‘sesh.’ It’s not because they don’t read newspapers, it’s because they’re having too much fun where they are!
Blessed with world-class surf beaches, an incredible choice of wineries, and more mining millionaires per capita than most: welcome to the United States of ‘Westralia.’
Seriously though, Perth is awesome. Big enough to have everything you need - including a top-notch arts and music scene - but small enough to feel like a local in any of its ocean-view pubs.
Perth also gets points for being extremely bike-friendly and for the number of botanic parks and gardens within walking distance of the CBD. A jog along the Swan River is a morning institution and Cottlesloe must be the best beach within 15 minutes of a city-centre anywhere in the world. What more can we say? Nothing. Come to Perth already!
