Introduction to Perth
Perth, unlike pith, "the soft, sponge like, central cylinder of the stems of most flowering plants, composed mainly of parenchyma," is the capital and largest city in the Australian state of Western Australia. A breathtaking coastal destination on the poetically named Swan River, Perth is fantastically Australian. Space, ocean-views, soft beaches and gourmet restaurants make Perth a favorite getaway for both Aussies and expats, looking for a little R' n R' away from the 'big smoke' of Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane et al. The other coast is where it's at as far as Perthiphiles are concerned. Handcrafted wines litter the gourmet scene, wineries radiate out and around the city in a spiraling bacchanalian dream. Truly a Sybarites delight, for freshly outstanding seafood, unmatched sunsets and romantic ambiance, Perth is a go-to vacation from your vacation. Just south- check out Rockinham, an aquatic town o' treats, splash-full of salty good-times. Swim with dolphins, snorkel up a storm or just take in some rays between some sick surf seshes and A-1 shopping. East of town get back to earth with a constitutional on some great trails pattering through national parks and waterfalls. Terrestrial and marine beauty, decadent gastronomy, top-tier boutique shopping, and a charming little metropolis all in one- Perth is cranking- get wet.
