Perth is the relaxed and welcoming capital city of Western Australia

Known for its blue skies and beautiful natural setting, Perth is built on the banks of the Swan River. In terms of holiday destinations, Perth competes with the best of them, with a vibrant inner-city culture, great al fresco dining spots, lovely beaches and plenty to see and do.

To the south is the historic town of Fremantle is the best example of well-preserved 19th century port streetscape. The scenic hinterland behind the city offers a different getaway for travellers with its fresh local produce and premium wineries and art galleries.

Perth combines the sophistication of the wine country with the splendour and vibrancy of the Australian urban style and is certainly a destination to be discovered.

What do our experts say about Perth?

Perth, may be isolated from much of the country, but it’s a great place to live and visit. I love a good west coast sunset and there are a couple of great coastal bars that are the perfect place to sip something cold as you watch the sun sink into the Indian Ocean.

What do I love about working at The Tailor?

I love sharing the knowledge that we have collectively gathered over years and years of selling Australia – each one of us regularly comes up with new combinations and twists on itineraries and destinations that we share with one another. With the help of our fabulous product suppliers we ‘invent’ new experiences that enable our guests to delve deeper in Australia. I love the magic that we add to every itinerary … something special, perfectly formed and ‘tailored’ to suit the traveller.

City or Wilderness? Why and where?

Wilderness and for two reasons …. One is because I love the big sky country, I love places where you can see from one edge of the earth to the other. Where the sky is literally half of everything and it is usually as blue as can be. I also love being in the wilderness because we have so much to learn about our continent’s unique history, flora, fauna, bio-diversity, the conservation challenges we face and the Aboriginal people’s amazing connection to country.
