Perth is a compact and walkable riverside city. Holidays in Perth offer some very good beaches and interesting sightseeing tours thanks to Perth’s old colonial buildings. At nearby Rottnest Island, an eighty-minute ferry ride from Perth, the snorkeling is excellent. Perth is the state capital of Western Australia. It looks out across the Indian Ocean and is a modern, easygoing city with a pronounced feeling of youthfulness. The port district of Fremantle has a lively market and hip cafĂ© society while Northbridge has the pick of the clubs and bars and is the centre of the restaurant scene. Cottesloe Beach just north of Fremantle has safe swimming.
