My favourite experience
"I loved Perth, it was the ultimate summer destination - I went there for a few days and found myself staying for a whole month. The highlight was heading up to the sunset spot at Kings Park with a newly found female friend of mine, except we arrived just as the sun was coming up after being out all night. A curious kookaburra landed right next to us - probably wondering what we doing there at such an early hour..." Jonathan, Ayr

The Weather
Western Australia has one of the most diverse climates in Australia: a tropical north and temperate south. In the south the usual four seasons apply but in the north only the ‘wet’ and the ‘dry’ exist. North winter (Apr-Sept) temps vary from 24- 34ºC. The tropical ‘wet’ has a sticky humidity and temperature highs in the 30s. Tropical and electrical storms can be pretty impressive to watch! The south has summer highs of 32ºC and 14ºC in the winter. Perth boasts more sunny days per year than any other Australiancapital city! Love that sunshine!
Perfect picture
The Wave on Hyden Rock is one of Australia’s most famous landforms, a giant surf wave of multicoloured granite about to crash onto the bush below. Stand under it and feel rock power from over 2,700 million years ago, before dinosaurs roamed the earth wild and free.
Useful info
Western Australia is Australia’s largest State. At 2,525,500 sq km, it’s about the same size as Western Europe, and is home to many a cattle station (ranches) the size of England. Perth has more cafés per capita than any other city in the world. We’ll drink (coffee) to that!
Useless info
The people of Western Australia are often colloquially referred to as sandgropers, the common name of an insect found on sand dunes around Perth.

Western Australia has a significant fishing industry. Local consumption and export include Western Rock Lobsters, prawns, crabs, shark and tuna, as well as pearl fishing in the Kimberley region of the state. Whaling was a key marine industry but ceased at Albany in 1978. We don’t suggest eating whale though.
