About Perth

Learn more about the host city, Perth.

Perth is the capital and largest city of the state of Western Australia. It is separated from Adelaide by a distance of 2,120 km, including the vast spaces of the Nullarbor Plain, making it one of the world's most isolated cities. Despite this isolation, it is a surprisingly vibrant and cosmopolitan city, and there are plenty of activities to keep a visitor entertained.
