Overview You can't Edit
Users Assigned: KazmiThe city is based in Western Australia, and carries its own traditions and culture. You will be amused once you get into here as people usually get relaxed and amused at the coast in the eastern side of Australia. Perth’s recently blossomed as an artistic centre, spawning plenty of high quality rock music and the world’s best selling drum and bass act of all time, Pendulum.
Quality of life, though, is perhaps the city’s biggest draw. Some find it surprisingly empty, though most prefer the term spacious: you can find your own beach to relax on in the height of summer or head out into mile after mile of stunning countryside, but when you get back there’ll still be a BBQ heavy, bar-focused city life to slip into.
The odd, almost colonial style of architecture found around Perth’s centre is well worth a walk around, with notable buildings including the Cathedral, Post Office, Town Hall and Perth Mint (where you can watch molten gold formed into bars), each of which is chunky, columned, and impressively unusual. At the other end of the spectrum there’s Swan Bells, a glassy modern cone that hides the twelve bi-centenary bells (plus a 13th to mark the new millennium). Aside from its buildings, Perth’s greenery is also noteworthy, and includes some luscious gardens and even the 200 species of animals hanging out at Perth Zoo.
If you fancy something a little bit more lively, there’s a notable selection of vineyards just outside the city (and plenty offering samples, too), as well as a speedway track and casino to enjoy. You can take a Captain Cook boat trip up the Swan River, or explore Australia’s oldest colonial settlement and oldest church at Swan Valley, just up stream.
It’s some way short of the glitz and glamour of Australia’s headline attractions to the east, then, but Perth is a relaxing and enjoyable place to be, and a fantastic place to live. Let go of the sightseeing tours, head west, lounge on the beach, and get a sumptuous (and wine-infused) taste of the real Australia.

FremantleFremantle used to be your typical port town but has undergone a bit of a facelift in recent years.
There are a number of historical sites (Roundhouse, Prison, Markets, etc) and a few museums such as the Maritime. Fishing Boat Harbour is home to a handful of fish'n'chip style seafood eateries. Around the North end of Essex St you can find a bunch of mostly Italian cafes for a bite and coffee. Or just grab an ale or three at Little Creatures.
Freo is probably one of the most popular places for tourists; especially on the weekends when the markets are in full swing and there are usually a few nutters plying their street performing trade.
Fremantle is a beautiful and hip city, with an abundance of things to do. The old and the new blend fabulously creating a chic and classic scene that won’t soon be forgotten.
After a day of shopping in the markets, and drinking coffee with friends on the café strip, you could cross the Esplanade to the fishing boat harbour and eat some of the best sea food in the world.
Fremantle offers a bus service, Fremantle Cat, which can take you all over Fremantle free of charge. So if you’ve been walking all day, you can sit back and give those legs a break and look at all the heritage buildings you go by without having to bump into anyone!Fremantle WA 6160, Australia -
