Nestled within West Australia’s majestic and vast landscapes, Perth epitomises the best of both worlds—a thriving metropolis with towering skyscrapers, neck to neck with golden beaches and lush green parks. Perth is known the world across for its laidback and easygoing lifestyle, and life unfolds here at a pleasing pace. Happily free of the pollution and congestion that is prevalent in other Australian metros like Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne, Perth and neighbouring Freemantle are also less populated; perhaps the reason for the simpler ways of living here!

As Australia’s fourth largest city, you can expect rocking avenues for entertainment of all kinds, and can sample the most delicious authentic international food. You’ll find that this lovely city is a glorious medley of enchanting neighbourhoods steeped in history, creative galleries, booming street art scenes, bustling hipster pubs and lazy weekend farmers’ markets. Close by, idyllic seascapes hug the coastline, and vast bushlands offer picturesque views with unique wildlife that is not found anywhere else in the world.

Guide to your Perth lifestyle

The definitive guide for newcomers to Perth!

Not only is Western Australia the biggest state in Australia, it also offers a variety of things to do and enjoy! From the north, you can witness the outstanding natural phenomenon Staircase to the Moon, an optical illusion seen at full moon along the shores of Roebuck Bay. Travel down enjoying the scenic landscapes and outback adventures to the lunar-like pinnacles of the famous Aussie landscape, and the majestic rugged coastline of Albany. Intrepid adventurers can visit the Capes and enjoy Australia’s most spectacular natural attractions, starting from the expansive national parks and also grab the chance to visit a UNESCO world heritage site, the spectacular Great Barrier Reef.

Experience the tingle of raw sensation as you climb 40 metres above the ground in the Valley of the Giants, a 400-year-old wilderness. Dive or snorkel while you swim alongside the whale sharks, go fishing, and enjoy the sparkling turquoise waters and sandy beaches of Australia’s shores. During spring, you can witness 12,000 species of wildflowers dazzle the grounds, making this the biggest collection of wildflowers in the world.

Find the cutest species of animals here in WA at Rottnest Island and take a ‘selfie’ with the world-famous quokka. Swim with dolphins and kayak the Shoalwater islands to see little cute penguins and Australian sea lions roam the area in their natural habitat. Travel WA and learn all about its extraordinary heritage as the home of Aboriginals for more than 50000 years − while you sip exclusive wines at the world -renowned Margaret River.

  • Kings Park in Perth, with 400.6 ha of gardens, is one of the largest inner city parks in the world; larger than New York’s Central Park at 315 ha and London’s Hyde Park at 121ha.
  • With over 3000 hours of sunshine in a year, Perth is the sunniest capital city in the world. You can even enjoy the sunshine in winter!
  • Western Australia has the longest coastline of any state or territory in Australia, which means you have miles upon miles of golden, sunkissed beaches.
  • Perth is blessed with rich heritage and traditions, as it was home to the Whadjuk Nyoongar people for over 45,000 years!
  • It’s the only place in the world where Quokkas live in the wild.
  • Perth is nicknamed the City of Light. In 1962, American astronaut, John Glenn, orbited the earth in the Friendship 7 spacecraft and could see the city sparkling from up in space, earning it this sobriquet!
  • Perth has the second highest population growth rate of all Australian capitals.
  • Perth is one of the top cities in the world for livability, ranking 32nd on the EIU(Economist Intelligence Unit) index for 2022.
