Perth City Centre is located alongside the peaceful waters of the Swan River, twenty Kilometres inland of the Indian Ocean on the West Coast of Australia. The Perth city centre bustles with activity and offers a range of choices for shopping..

The area around the city also has significant historical meaning to the Aborigines of the region, and according to Aboriginal folklore the Swan River was created by a large mythical snake known as the Waggyl, which slithered its way through the area creating the bends and gullies which shaped the river. In winter came the rains which filled the empty channel with water, and the river we know today as "The Swan" came to be.

If you want to immerse yourself in natural Australian bushland, then a visit or stay in the Perth hills is a must. Here you will find rolling hills and valleys of native bushland, wineries and orchards, which are perfect if you like bushwalking and hiking, and no- where else in Perth can you find the amazing views over the Perth city below.

Perth has a number of locations which jump into life, especially at the weekends. Just outside the Perth city centre is the Perth district of Northbridge where you will find a range of nightclubs, pubs, cafes and eateries, offering an eclectic mix of cultures and cuisines. Meanwhile, south of Perth in Fremantle things are jumping at the local nightclubs and bars. If you are looking for the Perth nightlife, you are sure to find it at one of these locations.

If you enjoy long relaxing walks along clean sandy beaches, swimming in the surf on a warm sunny day, or perhaps lazing on a beach towel while watching the world go by, then a visit to the Sunset Coast in Perth is for you.
