Overall

Perth is an extroadinary place, it is absolutely miles from any other major Australian city. Perth is the capital of Western Australia, Australia's largest state. It took a 5 hour flight from Sydney to get here and be warned you pass throguh 2 time zones (i think!) Perth itself like all Australian cities is clean and the people are very friendly. Personally I found the city to be quiet and a little empty and devoid of atmosphere. But I have given a good rating to Perth because its easy for vistors to hire a car and travel to the beaches of Scarborugh, I found the atmosphere to be much better (more lively) and the beaches are awesome, although beware two things. Firstly the waves were huge and secondly the wind called the Freemantle doctor which gets up in the afternoon. Other activities in Perth include visiting Rotnest Island of the coast and at least a day spent in Fremantle (also called Freo) I am sure if you give Perth a visit you will enjoy it, but you will need to travel around to find the best bits... One last bit of advice, the road south to Margaret River is awesome and Margaret River is an incredible place, home to many wineries and eateries!
