This is a broad question, as a number of different explorers have travelled near Perth.

The area north of Perth was first explored by various Dutch explorers in the 1600s. In December 1696, Dutch explorer Willem de Vlamingh named the Swan River upon which Perth lies, and explored the surrounding area.

Various other explorers needed to exlore the region around Perth in order to find the best land and the best water sources. However, Ernest Giles was a major explorer who, in 1875, travelled to Perth overland from Beltana in South Australia across some of the country's most arid regions.
