Perth Snapshot

The city of Perth is bisected by the Swan River and situated on the Indian Ocean with some of the world’s most beautiful beaches. This clean, uncrowded cosmopolitan city is the sunniest of all Australian capitals with an average of eight hours of sunshine a day – even more than San Diego or Hawaii! With its Mediterranean-style climate, relaxed lifestyle, and more than 1 million residents, Perth offers students from overseas a high-quality education, diverse cultural, sporting and recreational opportunities, and an affordable standard of living.

Fremantle

The bustling port and beachside city of Fremantle is alive with sidewalk cafés, galleries, restaurants and pubs. Only a 20-minute train or bus ride from downtown Perth, it is known for its many historic buildings. Home to an active arts community, Fremantle’s galleries and shops showcase Aboriginal art, hand-blown glass, Australian pottery and unique alpaca wool clothing. Its maritime activities include deep-sea fishing, boating and whale-watching when the humpback and right whales appear from September through November. Known for its relaxed and easygoing lifestyle, and with a population of only 25,000, Fremantle is a favorite coastal location for Study Australia participants in the Western region.
