Perth

Western Australia's capital

Perth is a city in Western Australia, the country's fourth-largest metropolis and the most isolated major city on Earth—closer to Singapore than to Sydney.

A separate Perth in Scotland gave the Australian city its name.

We flew into Perth before driving south to Margaret River.
