Perth

Perth (Noongar: Boorloo) is the capital of Western Australia and Australia’s fourth-largest city, home to over 2.3 million people. Known for its relative isolation – it’s one of the most geographically remote major cities globally – Perth offers a unique blend of urban convenience and access to stunning natural landscapes. The city sprawls across the Swan Coastal Plain, nestled between the Indian Ocean and the Darling Scarp, and maintains a relaxed, outdoor lifestyle.

Founded in 1829, Perth’s history reflects waves of settlement, from its traditional custodians, the Whadjuk Noongar people, to British colonists and more recent migrants. Today, it’s a modern, multicultural hub, boosted by a strong economy linked to resources and mining. Perth consistently ranks highly for liveability, offering a balanced environment for work and leisure, and is a Beta global city with a diverse range of suburbs.
