PERTH
Offset by the vast tranquil waters of the Swan River,
the beautiful city of Perth is a tourist's delight.
Modern and vibrant, it contrasts with its historic
counterpart - the port city of Fremantle accessible
within 20 minutes by car from Perth.
Tourists commonly
refer to Perth as the 'friendly city', and famous
notables have also renamed the city after their personal
experiences. Astronaut John Glenn called Perth the "City of Lights" after his
historic fly-over in 1962 and victorious America's
Cup skipper Dennis Connor referred to it as the "most
isolated city in the world".
Most paint Perth as bright, fun,
friendly and 'laid back' (relaxing) but visitors to the
city can be sure to find their own descriptions after
their holiday. Wet your appetite with a day on the Swan
River, a picnic to the Darling Ranges, a visit to a vineyard
or a stroll around Perth or Fremantle. From outdoors
to indoors, a fabulous range of city and suburban shops
will satisfy even the most particular tourist, with everything
from traditional Australian gifts and garments, opals,
Kalgoorlie gold and precious diamonds to succulent local
seafood, tender red meat and fresh fruit and vegetables.
