Getting Around

Much of Perth can be explored on foot but there are free hop-on hop-off busses connecting most of the city attractions.

The clean, modern Perth rail system is easy to use, connecting inland towns, city beaches and the old port of Fremantle.

Day trips and cruises to the wineries and other scenic locations can be booked locally or with Freedom Destinations.

Guide to Western Australia

The size of Western Europe but with only two million inhabitants, Western Australia is a breathtaking land of mountains, forests, expansive outback and spectacular river gorges, fringed by soft, white sand beaches, pristine reef, and stunning coastal scenery.

Because of its size and remoteness, much of inland Western Australia is untouched and virtually undiscovered and your holiday there becomes an adventure.
