Perth the best city in the world. It may not be the great metropolis that is London or New York but i to see Perth from Kings Park is beautiful. Our city sparkles in the sun ,is clean, friendly and we have a great climate.
Although I love to travel I would not chose to live anywhere else.
Unfortunately as we are the most isolated city in the world we are often overlooked by back packers and travellers but for those who do get here love it.

Perth foreshore

Take a trip down to the foreshore or take a ferry ride from Fremantle and disembark here. You can't miss the bell tower majestically toweing over the swan river. It is shaped like a yacht sail to reflect the lifestyle and the integral part of our lifestyle that is the Swan River

Perth lifestyle revolve around the water whether that be the Swan River or the Indian Ocean. Ferries leave from here to travel to the wineries, Fremantle and Rottnest.

Pros and Cons
  • Pros:Clean, compact, Freo
  • Cons:Most isolated capital city in the world
  • In a nutshell:Beautiful

    Your opening photo shows a beautiful city that seems so much more that what we know..."Wasn't that where the America's Cup...". Would love to make the trip. Might need more than a weekend ;-) ...Tom

    Good tips but I would have loved to see more pictures as my work friend has recently emigrated to Perth and I would like to see where she now lives
