Perth (Nyungar: Boorloo) is the capital city of Western Australia. It is the fourth-most-populous city in Australia, with a population of over 2.3 million within Greater Perth as of 2023.

Perth is part of the South West Land Division of Western Australia, with most of Perth’s metropolitan area on the Swan Coastal Plain between the Indian Ocean and the Darling Scarp.

The city has expanded outward from the original British settlements on the Swan River, upon which its central business district and port of Fremantle are situated.

Central Business District (CBD)

The central business district of Perth is bounded by the Swan River to the south and east, with Kings Park on the western end and the railway reserve as the northern border.

A state and federally funded project named Perth City Link sank a section of the railway line to allow easy pedestrian access between Northbridge and the CBD.

Kings Park is a 400-hectare urban park in Perth, Western Australia, known for its stunning views of the Swan River and city skyline, the Western Australian Botanic Garden, and its mix of natural bushland, manicured parkland, and family-friendly attractions like the Rio Tinto Naturescape.

It is a popular destination for both locals and tourists, offering walking trails, picnic spots, and the Lotterywest Federation Walkway, an elevated path through the eucalyptus forest.
