What is Perth known for?

Perth is an extremely livable city. It does not have great extremes of temperatures although, like almost any Australian city, it may be subject to seasonal violent thunderstorms and intense, raging bushfires. Hot summer days are cooled down in the evening by the "Fremantle Doctor", a cooling afternoon sea breeze. In many ways it is a practically-designed city. Its train network is marvellously streamlined to follow the main roads, and it is very easy to get about by public transport. Overlooking the city are Kings Park and the Botanic Gardens, which are full of unique species native to Western Australia. For the visitor from the eastern states, it is full of new discoveries and experiences. Nearby is the historic city of Fremantle, with its own unique and appealing architecture. Rottnest Island is a well-protected National Park, easily accessible by ferry, where you can see the endangered quokka in its natural environment.

Perth was founded in 1829, and initially it was called the Swan River settlement.

The Swan River was the logical choice because it was a good port for ships.
