Here is Perth and surrounds

Step outside of the everyday into a dream in Perth and surrounds.


Western Australia calls you to immerse yourself in Perth and surrounds, a city that will light you up with its vibrant culture, exquisite cuisine and boundless creativity.

Pedal from secluded bays to pristine beaches to find your own slice of paradise on Rottnest Island (Wadjemup). Enjoy dreamy Indian Ocean sunsets or a day trip to the only wine region within an Australian capital city, the Swan Valley. Explore Perth’s historic and bohemian port city of Fremantle (Walyalup) or swim with playful wild dolphins in Rockingham.

Framed by the Swan River (Derbal Yerrigan), Optus Stadium and one of the world’s largest inner-city parks, Kings Park and Botanic Garden (Kaarta Koomba), the wondrous beauty of this thriving metropolis will leave you questioning whether it is real or a dream. Perhaps it is a bit of both.
