Once considered a dull, unaffecting city, Perth has blossomed over the years to become a truly notable – if under populated – capital city thanks to a terrific resources boom. Beautiful weather, outstanding beaches and the laid-back nature of the residents leave many tourists confused as to where the rest of the population might have disappeared to. In truth, the capital city is remote and the recent development into the more cosmopolitan areas of entertainment has yet to have a large draw on the rest of the country.
Of course, the lack of crowds is not to be taken lightly. Without throngs of people in the streets, you are free to enjoy the wide range of bars, restaurants, cultural events and entertainment options without hassles or inconvenient wait times. The sophistication of the city might surprise you, but the biggest thrill of all is away from the city’s center. Perth’s amazing beaches and parkland offer residents and visitors more than enough space to spread their proverbial wings and enjoy what a casual lifestyle truly has to offer.
In addition to urban trendiness and pristine beaches, Perth also boasts the Aquarium of Western Australia, a world famous collection of turtles, stingrays, fish and sharks that swim around and even above you. It’s easy to see the blending of the sea with land when you walk through a series of miniature marine worlds. You’ll not only see, but be able to experience exactly what sort of creatures and formations lay just a few miles away under the blue waves of those beautiful beaches.
