About Perth

Students gain not just from the excellent level of education, but also from the warm weather and relaxing lifestyle. East Perth was rated the best lifestyle-friendly suburb in all of Western Australia. This is owing to its closeness to the city, waterfront food scene, and spectacular setting on the Swan River.

The Economist placed Perth as the fourth "most liveable city" in the world, while Lonely Planet declared it one of the "top ten future cities" in the world. It is not only easy to discover international student accommodation in Perth, but it is also easy to meet like-minded students.

Perth Attractions

Perth, the world's most remote city, is found on Australia's west coast. It’s about 2,100 kilometres away from Adelaide, the closest city of any considerable size. It is one of the cities with the greatest population growth in the nation and is recognised for its easygoing way of life, stunning beaches, and blue skies. ‘Perthites’ – as they are fondly referred to – are very outdoorsy folks, so there are loads of great places to go biking, swimming, and strolling in the city. Here's a list of some of the best Perth attractions for students -

King’s park & Botanic Garden

Kings Park, which spans a sizable area in the heart of the city, is a true natural wonderland with stunning, wild bushland and lush grasses adjacent to its outstanding botanical garden. It is a terrific spot to go to enjoy the great outdoors because there are so many trails and bike pathways that wind their way through the park. Playgrounds and picnic spaces are widely dispersed as well.

Fremantle Prison

Because the fortunes of the British convicts who were sent to Australia's shores are intricately linked, it is well worth visiting Fremantle Prison to experience what life was like in the highest-security prison. The prison was only closed in 1991 after being in service for over 140 years; it was first opened in 1855.

Perth Mint

The Perth Mint, one of the city's oldest structures, was founded in 1899 and was one of the country's last colonial subsidiaries of the UK's Royal Mint. The Perth Mint offers an area where students may mint their own coins and watch gold melt, in addition to several intriguing displays on the history of the Mint and Western Australia's gold mining heritage.

Penguin Island

Penguin Island, which is located just off the coast of Rockingham, south of Perth, was given its name in honour of the lovely little creatures who consider its cliffs, headlands, and beaches home. At low tide, the island may be reached on foot, however, most people choose to use a ferry instead. It is connected to the mainland by a tidal sandbar. Some daring explorers choose to kayak or even swim on its rocky beaches.

Bell Tower

This futuristic-looking structure, which overlooks the Swan River, is undoubtedly distinct from past Bell Towers. It has one of Perth's most striking and recognisable designs. Surprisingly, the bell tower with the design of a spaceship contains several old bells. The earliest of them goes back to 1550 and comes from St Martin-in-the-Fields Church in London. Even centuries later, everyone can still hear these.
