Imagine your dream holiday or dream life..it's here in Perth

Advantages: Friendly city with great transport and something for everyone from wildlife to clubbing
Disadvantages: Its so far away..I want to go every weekend.

Perth City, Australia. I kind of wished I was a member on here 5 years ago when I decided to travel to Aus for a year but its still all in my memory and Perth stands way way out, it is easily the best place I have ever visited in my life. I travelled out August 2004 and my flight was from Dublin to Perth via Kuala Lumpur. When I arrived I first stayed at the YHA backpacker's hostel based in Wellington Street, Perth. This was a great base for me to ...
...from the "City" area of Perth City which contained the main shops, malls and also the business centre and the buildings that you see in the picture of the fantastic skyline. I would recommend the YHA to anyone as its cheap and in a fantastic location. It also offers all sorts of rooms from single to 110 bed dorms, so it really has something for everyone. What I done. Perth Zoo. This is a truly amazing zoo, quite different to many others I have visited ...

Review of Perth (Australia)

A city in the sunshine, remote and empty, Perth, W.A.

Advantages: Wonderful climate, no crowds, clean, very pretty
Disadvantages: Not very historically interesting

...=Where is Perth?= Perth is the Capital city of the state of Western Australia which is physically about a third of the entire country of Australia but the population is small – only about 10% of the nation’s population. This population of about 2 million most actually live in Perth ( 1.5 million) and the other towns like Geralton, Albany, Bunbury, Kalgoorlie and Broome so it is a very empty State in the other areas. Perth is situated on the Swan ...
...which is about 2000km away. Perth is actually geographically closer to Indonesia than it is to Sydney. =A bit of History= Perth was first settled by British in 1832 and was officially known as Western Australia at this time but more often referred to as the Swan River Colony because the colony was built on the Swan River. The Swan River was named by Willem de Vlamingh in 1697 after the native black swans he saw in the river. This same Dutch captain ...

Gee - that's a lucky shag!!

Advantages: plenty to do, relaxed, vibrant, great year round climate & friendly people.
Disadvantages: very remote

...to do a visit to Perth as we had gotten some free internal Qantas flights in Oz as part of our round the world ticket and thought we may as well fly as far from Sydney as we could given it was free so off we jetted to Perth. Prior to going we booked a hotel on line (web site we used no longer seems active but you can just google the hotel name for plenty of links) and stayed at the Park Royal, Perth for 5 nights but this little trip was simply an ...
...say that I went to Perth not wanting or expecting much and was using it more of a stopover for the trip back. Even if I had gone with high expectations I don’t really think I would have been disappointed because it was a trip that we both enjoyed immensely and with hindsight wished we had organised more time there. Exchange rate £1 = AUS$ 2.30/$1 = 43p ***History to Perth** Western Australia (WA) is a size almost beyond comprehension and makes ...
