Perth, the pride of the West Coast

The weather is comfortably warm for most of the year thanks to a longer than normal summer season. Being so close to the Indian Ocean, high quality seafood is a tenet of most restaurant menus. The serene Swan River, at the heart of the city, is the lifeblood of Perth with plenty of riverside recreation, fishing opportunities and picturesque locales. Love surfing? Head to Cottesloe Beach and if you’re lucky, you might even spot a dolphin.
