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.
For information on events, dining, shopping and much
more in Perth, go to the 'What's on in Perth', link at our
Conference website for everything to see and do in the
city.
