Perth

As capital of Western Australia, Perth is the most isolated city in the whole world. Located in the southwestern part of the country, it has a lot to offer. About 1.5 million people live and work in and around Perth. Surrounded by the Swan River, the Perth Hills and the Indian Ocean, it is a city where outdoor life is at it best. With its Mediterranean climate, the weather is usually sunny and mild, even during winter. Some major attractions include Kings Park – a 400 ha large ‘green lung’, Perth Zoo, Perth Mint, a cruise on the Swan River or a cruise to Fremantle. The Perth city centre also offers visitors a wealth of great shopping opportunities. Whether you are shopping for souvenirs, Aboriginal art and crafts, jewellery or fashion, the many shopping malls offer a substantial choice. Some of the most popular shopping areas include the Hay Street Mall, Murray Street Mall, Forest Chase, Barrack Street and Kings Street, however there are many other malls to visit as well.
