Western Australia's capital city sits beside the tranquil waters of the Swan River. Locals enjoy the out-door lifestyle, with its street side cafe's, inner-city parks and bustling shopping.

This is made easy with a climate that boasts sunshine for three quarters of the year and minimal rainfall.

Accessing Perth's major attractions and shopping areas is simple, thanks to the free Central Area Transit bus service.

The free CAT bus service runs regularly across the city with stops spread throughout. Jump on or off at any stop, all it costs is your time.
