Perth is one of the most isolated state capitals in the world. Located in the south west area of the vast state of Western Australia, with 1.5 million residents, it contains around 70% of that state's population.

Perth is based around the Swan River on a flat coastal plain down from the Darling ranges. The many relatively uncrowded beaches along the Perth coastline also help define the lifestyle; Perth is laid-back, quiet and quite safe.
