A large city in western Australia, between the Swan River, parks, nearby beaches and cultural districts.
Map & landmarks
The map is temporarily unavailable.
The city of Perth lies in the south-west of the western Australian coast, on the banks of the Swan River and close to the Canning, Serpentine and Murray rivers. Its city centre is bounded by the Swan River and the Darling Scarp to the south and east, the railway lines to the north and Kings Park to the west. The city enjoys a typically Mediterranean climate: hot dry summers cooled by a sea breeze nicknamed "The Fremantle Doctor", and mild damp winters with temperatures rarely dropping below 7°. Annual sunshine levels are also high (3200h a year on average).
City life and landmarks
History & culture
The city was founded in 1829 by Captain James Stirling under the name Swan River Colony, the first in Western Australia. There are, however, traces of the Noongar Aboriginal people going back 40 000 years. The arrival of the Europeans led to violent clashes until the British victory, notably after the battle of Pinjarra in 1834. The city grew strongly from the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century with the Australian Gold Rush. These valuable mining resources still contribute, together with the exploitation of the region's other mineral resources and trade with South-East Asia, to the city's economic prosperity.

the city in practical terms
The cost of living there is roughly the same as in a large Swiss city such as Bern or Zurich: reckon on about 70€ for a meal for 2 in a mid-range restaurant. Finally, for your shopping, you will easily find shopping centres in and around the city centre, notably on King, Murray and Hay Street...
