Perth

The capital of Western Australia, Perth is a small, relaxed city offering river walks and beaches, and a sunny climate on the Indian Ocean.
You might want to rent a bicycle to explore the city and the pathway that follows the Swan River. Art lovers should pop into the Art Gallery of Western Australia to see its Aboriginal art collection. The Aquarium specialises in showing off some of the sea life found along the state’s coast, including giant sharks and rays.

Perth’s most fashionable beach is Cottesloe, which is graced by some pleasant Edwardian buildings, including the local teahouse.

You could spend at least a whole day in the heritage port precinct of Fremantle. Make sure you visit the decommissioned Fremantle Prison, which was built in the 1850s. You can spend time in prison cells and a labyrinth of underground tunnels created by prisoners sentenced to hard labour. Then, board a replica convict punt to explore submerged passageways too.
