Perth - a city of wide open spaces located on the Western side of the Australian Continent.

Because of it's separation by distance from the rest of Australia, Perth has developed a unique and friendly atmosphere all of its own.

Making the most of the pleasant Mediterranean style climate, lucky West Australians enjoy one of the happiest and most relaxed lifestyles in the world.

First settled by Europeans is 1829, Perth is the capital city of Western Australia and is ideally located on the banks of the beautiful Swan River.
