About the Perth Region

Perth is the capital and largest city of Western Australia, with a population of in excess of 1.5 million. It is also one of the most isolated metropolitan cities on Earth, the nearest comparably populous city being Adelaide, around 2,700 km away by road. It is currently Australia’s fastest growing major city and by far the most heavily populated location in the State. Around three-quarters of Western Australia’s population are residents of the city.

The city of Perth is situated between the Indian Ocean and the Darling Range, its central business district and suburbs having grown up around the shores of the Swan River. Perth is also the centre of the Perth Region, which extends from around Joondalup in the north to Mandurah in the south, and west to Mundaring. It also includes the port city of Fremantle, 19 km south-west of Perth.

The city was founded in 1829, but grew only slowly until the end of century, when the gold rush brought more travellers into the area. Discoveries of other valuable minerals in the surrounding area ensured the city’s progress throughout the 20th century,

St Georges Terrace is the business centre of Perth, the shopping malls of Hay and Murray streets are the busiest retail areas, and Northbridge and Subiaco are among the most popular districts for bars, dining out, and nightclubbing.

To the north of the city, the sub-region called the Sunset Coast is a favourite area for beachgoers, with a range of beaches to suit all tastes. Scarborough and Trigg beaches are ideal for surfing, Sorrento and North beaches offer safer swimming for children, and Swanbourne is the area’s best-known nude-friendly beach.

Following the Swan River upstream, visitors will arrive at one of the State’s premier wine-producing districts. The Swan Valley specialises in fortified wines such as Ports and Muscats, and a number of small breweries also flourish in the area.
