Perth City Centre

PERTH

Where city skies meet the Indian Ocean—sun-soaked, spacious, and refreshingly remote.

Overview
Perth offers a unique mix of cosmopolitan cool and wild nature on Australia’s untouched west coast. Framed by white-sand beaches and blessed with over 3,000 hours of sunshine a year, this riverside city thrives on outdoor living. Just beyond, wine regions, island escapes, and red-earthed wilderness await. Whether it’s dolphins in the Swan River or street art in hidden laneways, Perth rewards those who go west.

See and Do

The local favourite
A day trip to Rottnest Island is a must. Just a short ferry from Perth, this car-free island is famous for its turquoise bays and friendly quokkas. Cycle the scenic loop, snorkel the coral reefs, or simply lounge on soft sand beaches with hardly a soul in sight.

A scene of pure natural beauty
Head to Kings Park, one of the world’s largest inner-city parks, for sweeping views of the Swan River and city skyline. The botanic gardens showcase native WA flora, while treetop walks and bush trails provide peaceful escapes within the city limits.

Adventures in nature
Cruise up the Swan River to the Swan Valley, WA’s oldest wine region. Sample award-winning Shiraz, indulge in local cheeses, or take to the vines by bike. Venture further afield to Pinnacles Desert or the wave-like rock formations of Wave Rock, surreal landscapes just hours from the city.
