Perth
Australia's most isolated capital city is also its sunniest — a vibrant, youthful city on the Indian Ocean with extraordinary beaches, excellent food and wine from the Swan Valley and Margaret River, and the remarkable Pinnacles Desert and Rottnest Island nearby. Perth is the gateway to Western Australia's vast outback, the Kimberley gorges, and the world's finest wildflower season.
