The Saturday City: Perth
The City of Perth, Australia, was founded on June 12, 1829 by Captain James Stirling as a center of the Swan River Colony. Despite a slow start and skirmishes with the native Aborigines, flourished the city and grew. In 1850, increased the influx of prisoners, the size of the colony, and contributed their labor to build the city.
The discovery of gold in the 180s triggered a mineral boom that has not yet decayed. This boom was the key to Perth's growth and the growth of the entire Western Australia.
In recent years, the rise in commodity prices and the subsequent mining and oil drilling boom Perth has bloated population. The city today is a hub of activity and growth. (Grows 10% per year). But despite all this growth, the city is still a wonderful place to visit. It is clean, the people are friendly, it's easy to get around, and it sits right on the sea
For me everything Perth embodies that Australia is over -. Rugged yet refined, modern, but still rustic, relaxed, but still moving.
As a young and modern city, there are a few "attractions" here. The Perth Cultural Center includes an art gallery, museum, the state library and the Perth Institute of Contemporary Arts. Kings Park is a large and lush park, which is full of native flora and fauna. It offers fantastic views of the city, especially at night. There is a large aquarium in town also. Additionally, you can also arrange tours of the Swan River, which also offers a magnificent view of the city. If you are looking to get out of Perth, the Fremantle city is a short train ride away.
When the heat (and it is really hot) gets you to head to Perth's famous beaches. Perth has a number of good beaches: Cottesloe Beach (one of the most popular), Swanbourne Beach (nudist beach), City Beach (very popular), Scarborough Beach (ideal for surfing) and Trigg Beach (also very popular for surfing) among other. No matter what your taste, there is a beach in Perth for you
Sunday Cottesloe fills with young adults in a most of Australia's time honored traditions engagement -. Sunday Session. The Aussies love on Sundays to drink, and the Sunday session at Cottesloe Hotel is famous throughout the country. Although the Australians never been to Perth, you know about "The Cott." It is so good. Do not miss it!
At night, the action heads down to North Bridge. There the locals relax with a good beer and socialize until the early morning hours. One thing that I was really nice found to Perth how friendly the people were. Normally you go out to the bars, and the people are snooty, when you try to start a conversation. But in Perth, everyone talks. The city is a great place to meet people - I proved the locals very friendly. Northbridge can get crowded and sometimes a little violent, but everyone is always ready to talk.
For many Australians, Perth is a world away. The majority of the country's population lives on the east coast and rarely venture out of it. For them, Perth might as well be another country. Perth always seem to be the end of the world - .. Far from the rest of the country away
But every visit to Australia that does not contain this city leaves out a truly Australian experience
