Perth - Western Australia
|
Perth, the capital of Western Australia, set between white fringed
beaches of the sparkling Indian Ocean to the west and the lush Darling
Ranges to the east. Located on the banks of the Swan River, the city
provides a magnificent backdrop for yachting and sailing.
Kings Park is home to the botanical gardens, famous for spring
wildflower displays and offers popular picnic areas only minutes from
the city. After the sun sets, Northbridge, just north of the city,
springs to life. Here you will find several streets full of restaurants,
cafes and bars.
Half an hour from the city you can visit the bustling sea port of
Fremantle where historic buildings and museums give an insight to
Western Australia's relatively short history. Just offshore lie the
crystal waters and pristine beaches of Rottnest Island where you can
dive or snorkel among coral reefs teeming with marine life.

Perth and Beyond in
Western Australia

Western Australia is vast and is undoubtedly one of the world's last
unspoilt frontiers. To really see the wonders of this unique state we
recommend you begin your experience in Perth and then explore further.
Travel north to the Shark Bay Heritage area, renowned for its wild
dolphin population at Monkey Mia. Almost every day, these amazing
mammals swim to within a metre of the shore.
To the north lies the crystal waters of the Ningaloo Reef. This fabulous
marine park is home to hundreds of species of fish and corals as well as
mantra rays, humpback whales and turtles.
A trip to the north offers a diverse mix of rugged isolation and natural
beauty, visit the world famous Cable Beach and discover the wonders of
the Bungle Bungles.
South of Perth is Margaret River, a food and wine lovers paradise,
offering the opportunity to indulge in world class wineries and gourmet
vineyard restaurants.
Western Australia is well worth a look when planning a holiday to
Australia.
