About Perth, Western Australia

Situated on the banks of the Swan River, Perth offers the perfect location from which to start your Western Australian holiday. Kings Park is Perth's most visited attraction. From the lookouts visitors can enjoy a bird's eye view of the city's skyline and the magnificent Swan River.

The city's shops are well worth a visit. Spend a day browsing exclusive boutiques and major department stores. Nearby Northbridge offers exciting nightlife and an extensive choice of restaurants, bars and nightclubs.

Visit the popular beaches of Cottesloe and Scarborough, or take a day trip into the Swan Valley to discover world famous wineries, quaint boutique restaurants and art galleries scattered throughout the scenic valley.

Keen golfers will relish the chance to play on the numerous golf courses in and around Perth, some of them among Australia's best championship courses.

Relax and experience world class entertainment at the Burswood International Resort and Casino. This entertainment complex offers traditional casino facilities, as well as regular concerts featuring local and international acts.

Enjoy a visit to the historic port city of Fremantle and experience the cafés and shops along the "Cappuccino Strip", or stroll the fascinating narrow streets adjacent to the historic Roundhouse.

Just offshore lie the crystal clear waters and pristine beaches of Rottnest Island. Catch a ferry there, then ride a bike or walk to the coral reefs and sandy bays teeming with marine life. Or take a guided tour of the island to meet the friendly quokkas - these small kangaroo-like marsupials often mingle freely among visitors to the island.

Whatever your itinerary, Perth and Fremantle offer you a relaxing holiday of an entirely different nature.
