A historic mix of cultures – Javanese, Malay, Chinese, Arab, Indian and European – has influenced its architecture, language, and cuisine.

Perth - Disembark

Perth’s spectacular growth in recent times makes the old historic port of Fremantle seem tiny in comparison. Eighty percent of Western Australia’s population lives in or around this sunny metropolis. They say you can’t please everyone, but Perth may prove to be the exception to that rule. The city’s urban sprawl is awash with fusion flavours, fashionable boutiques, and innovative museums but Western Australia’s capital impresses in other ways too.
