Perth Travel Information

Perth is home to approximately two million residents, making it the largest city in Western Australia and the fourth largest city in Australia. This is a beautiful coastal city that has a rich history and culture. It has been inhabited by indigenous people for many centuries, but it began growing when European settlers arrived in the 1800s. Its unique location on the western coast has kept it somewhat isolated from the other major cities in the country. Today, this is a bustling metropolitan area with a vibrant economy based on mining, agriculture, petroleum and government.
