About Perth

Perth, located on the magnificent Swan River is blessed with an ocean sunset....... every single day.

Western Australia, for so long so far away, is a place where more and more people are now discovering its sheer beauty.

Heading south you have the magnificent wine region of Margaret River and to the north spectacular remote town of Geraldton, then up to magnificent Broome.

Some Facts:

Names: Named after the small town just north of Scottish border, Perth naming origins shows our colonial ancestry.

Geography:The capital of Perth is Australia’s western gateway and a great place to start your holiday. Situated along the magnificent Swan River, the pace of the city ebbs and flows much like its tide.

From the city, head to the South West to the or world class wine region of Margaret River. Famous for both wine and surfing Margaret River is a magnificent region of dense forests and tall tree's and a relaxed local atmosphere that is truly Australian.

To the west is the The Golden Outback, famous forgoldfields and historic townships, brilliant, starry night skies, and wide open spaces with spinifex and red earth as far as the eye can see. Here too, are the beaches of the Southern Ocean. These seas can be wild oneday and brilliant blue calm the next – they’re also home to humpback whales and their calves.

Awesome marine life, endless white sand beaches and warm, turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean characterise the state’s far north. Sunshine, cooling sea breezes and the outdoor activities of the Coral Coast make it a relaxing and friendly destination.

If it’s an Aussie frontier adventure you’re after head further north to the North West. Here you’ll find rugged ancient landforms, remnant rainforest, deep red gorges, vast cattle stations and pioneering personalities, ancient Aboriginal culture and unique quality accommodation.

Climate: As the sun sets over the ocean, Perth is famous for its long days of brilliant sunshine, blue skies and stunning beaches. The big variety of landscapes and climates in Western Australia means there is always plenty of sunshine, making it a perfect year-round destination. Driving Western Australia: The long stretches of road, and wide open spaces – particularly in the outback - can lead to unintentional speeding, so you need to be aware.

And for drivers not used to the conditions, and not taking adequate rest breaks, the combination of warm sun through the windscreen, long, straight sections of road, the soothing hum of wheels and lack of traffic, can have a hypnotic effect.

Frequent stops and coffee breaks are recommended for anyone undertaking long distances, to refresh the driver and provide passengers with an opportunity to stretch their legs and have a look around.

Although Western Australia’s paved roads are among the best in the world, there are many gravel roads throughout the State, which pose challenges to drivers unused to driving in these conditions. Driving on gravel can be a lot like driving on snow and just as hazardous as it is easy to lose control of the vehicle. The best way to drive safely is to drive more slowly.

World’s longest trucks

In the State’s north and east, road travellers will see some of the largest trucks on earth. Colloquially known as road trains, these massive vehicles can stretch for almost 50 metres. A combination of a prime mover truck with up to three large trailers, all sitting on a total of around 60 wheels – it’s an awesome sight.

Road trains travel up to a maximum of 100 kilometres per hour and may take more than a kilometre to stop. Drivers should also be aware that it can take around 30-45 seconds – and several kilometres - to overtake a fully laden road train safely, so always allow plenty of open road.
