Perth Perth is Australia's only capital city where you can enjoy the beach lifestyle, relax in natural bushland, sample world-class local wines and watch an ocean sunset within just 30 minutes of the city. It's also the sunniest state capital, averaging 3,000 hours of sunshine per year and boasting a string of 19 beautifully clean and uncrowded beaches, from iconic Cottesloe to the surf hotspot of Scarborough. Situated on the banks of the Swan River, Perth is a living picture postcard, with the best views of all from Kings Park and Botanic Garden—one of the biggest inner-city parks in the world. There are so many ways to enjoy its 400-plus hectares of sculpted gardens and natural bushland. Stroll the treetop walk, take an Indigenous cultural tour, or picnic among the gum trees. Safe and secure the city offers all the benefits of a large metropolis with a range of interesting and affordable dining experiences, quality accommodation and great shopping. Supported by a robust economy, Perth has seen remarkable growth in recent years, with significant infrastructure and commercial projects transforming the cityscape and inspiring a cultural renaissance. Regular flights to Perth depart from all state capitals, many regional locations and overseas, landing you just 20 minutes from the central business district.
