Why Perth?
Perth is Western Australia's sunny capital, where beaches, bushland and wine country are all on the doorstep.
Watch the sunset at Cottesloe Beach and explore the cafés and bars of Fremantle. A ferry to Rottnest Island brings you face to face with the quokkas. Margaret River is the next stop for wine and surf.
