Laid back, livable Perth has wonderful weather, beautiful beaches and an easygoing character. About as close to Bali as to some of Australia’s Eastern state capitals, Perth’s combination of big city attractions with relaxed and informal surroundings offers an appealing lifestyle for locals and lots to do for visitors. It’s a sophisticated, cosmopolitan city with myriad bars, restaurants and cultural activities all vying for attention. When you want to chill out, it’s easy to do so. Perth’s pristine parkland, nearby bush, river and ocean beaches – along with a good public transport system – allow its inhabitants to spread out and enjoy what’s on offer. Just 30 minutes from Perth’s city center, the bustling dynamic port city of Fremantle has long been renowned for its eclectic mix of arty and alternative types. Its streets buzz with the song of buskers, the sidewalks fill with a wild collection of art and music floats out from trendy cafés and bars. You need only spend a day in Fremantle to find yourself falling in love with this colorful port city.
