Perth

Perth has served as the administrative centre of Western Australia since the Swan River Colony was founded in 1829. The city extends along the Swan River, whose broad estuary reaches the Indian Ocean at Fremantle, while Kings Park rises above the central districts with extensive bushland. Perth stands on Whadjuk Noongar Country, and Noongar connections to the land remain fundamental to its identity. The gold rushes of the 1890s helped transform the colonial settlement into the state’s leading city, leaving Victorian-era buildings among its central streets.
