Campervan Hire Perth

As mentioned above, Perth is a major metropolitan area in Australia (the fourth largest city in the country), but it is quite literally smack dab in the middle of nowhere. Located just a few miles off of the western coast of the Indian Ocean, Perth lies on the Swan River and covers a sprawling amount of land a few other cities on the planet can rival.

Originally settled in 1829 by British free settlers (as opposed to convicts), it quickly grew into a larger metropolitan area in the 1850s. Things really started to explode in the 1890s when gold was discovered nearby, and from then on Perth became a major, major focus of the Australian and international communities.

Shortly after World War II, Perth overtook Adelaide as far as population goes, a distinction that it hasn’t given up yet. Lacking the same kind of “Victorian flair” that most of the cities in the East seem to enjoy, Perth is a lot more like Vancouver in Canada and pretty much any other city on the planet.

It’s able to effortlessly blend into the natural surroundings while still having skyscrapers be a major part of their city skyline, and the residents here are just as likely to spend their days trading on all of the major financial markets worldwide as they are kayaking, hiking, or camping!
