Welcome to the new city of Perth. We say new, as things have been moving rather quickly in this fine ol’ city of late. Once hanging its hat on the moniker ‘The City Of Lights’, today Perth is more ‘The City Of Life’ – a metropolis well and truly on the rise, and transforming by the day. The skyline may still be evolving at breakneck speed, but Perth’s clearly defined itself as a major city on the Australian map; as unique in its location as its lifestyle. No other city in the country boasts as good a lifestyle as Perth; a land where the ocean meets the city and the weather itself is cause for celebration. Whether it’s the noble Swan River, dazzling King’s Park, rustic Rottnest Island, colonial Fremantle or the world’s finest beaches, Perth is a city that makes you want to live! But while we could boast all day about the beauty of Perth, the city’s cultural and party scene well and truly match the stunning setting. A hot spot for musical, arts and fashion talent in Australia, Perth is a must-see destination for cultural junkies keen for a fix of the best the country has to offer, or simply after a good time. In short, Perth is like nowhere else on earth – make it yours. Happy travels, and we’ll see you out there!

If you’re reading this you are already in Perth. And if you’re already in Perth you know exactly what we mean when we say Perth is a drinking town. The weather’s warm – well, bloody hot if you’re not accustomed to the sizzle – and there’s no better way to laze away the afternoon than with a pint after a long day in the glorious sunshine. While you can easily find brands from across the globe in liquor stores and bars the city over, one of the finer ways to sample Perth is to drink your way through it – literally. For a medium-sized city Perth boasts a worldclass range of home-grown breweries and wineries. When it comes to beer the specialities remain the lagers (for those endless sunny days) and ales (a welcome hangover from our British heritage), plus a good range of local pilsners, stouts and other more exotic varieties of thee blessed trilogy of hops, yeast and malt… oh, and water of course. Perhaps the most infamous of WA breweries, Little Creatures in Fremantle has grown from a dream and a shack into one of the most celebrated micro breweries in the country. Now sprawling across Fremantle’s stunning Fishing Boat Harbour, Little Creature’s Pale Ale is legendary, with the Bright Ale, Pilsner and mid-strength Rogers right behind (all perfect matches for
Creature’s rather tasty pizzas). The Swan Brewery, Sail & Anchor and Matilda Bay Breweries are three more established and well trusted names in the craft of brewing, and can be found in various watering holes around town (Matilda Bay’s mighty Redback wheat beer is a true WA icon). But a recent rise in micro brewing has seen a range of from-the-keg-to-the-glass gems pop up city-wide, including Mash and Feral Breweries in the Swan Valley, where you’ll find many wild and wonderful takes on the humble brew. And make sure to check out Elmar’s and The Duckstein Breweries in the Valley while you’re there for some more traditional German-style beers. The Swan Valley is also the home of the grape. While Margaret River may be WA’s most celebrated wine region, the Swan Valley packs a decent punch with feisty Mediterranean climate wines across classic Aussie varieties such as Shiraz, Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc, plus a number of fortifieds inspired by the region’s Italian and Slavic heritage. While flagship names such as Houghton and Sandalford are known and enjoyed worldwide, take the road less travelled and you’ll be highly rewarded. Sittella and Upper Reach Wineries are two of the Valley’s finer boutique wineries, where you’ll truly get to indulge in WA’s unique terroir. Happy drinking!
Northbridge; a great place to enjoy a beer

KINGS PARK A euphemism for style, they don’t come classier than glorious ol’ Subiaco. The once working class heartland of WA, Subi – as it’s affectionately known by the latte set – is now the centre of chic style in WA; packing a hefty – and haughty – number of fashion boutiques, cafes, bars and restaurants onto its two key intersecting streets; Hay Street and Rockeby Road. From designer stores to exquisite hole-inthe-wall restaurants, if your budget is generous and your heels extra high then steer your shiny new sports car straight to the bright lights of the little suburb just west of the city! 32

How often do you hear so-and-so has “the best beaches in the world”? Too many, we know! Well, with Perth you’d better believe it. So good are Perth’s legendary beaches that Spain was recently sprung using them in tourism advertisements, passing them off as their own. But you can’t blame them – our beaches are literally second to none. From Mullaloo in the north right down to Fremantle in the south, Perth’s beaches are defined by their crystal aqua blue waters, the endless horizons, fine white sand and legendary sunsets. Nothing – absolutely nothing – beats a pint at the Ocean Beach Hotel in Cottesloe as the sun plunges into the magnificent Indian Ocean. Pack your suncream and get ready for paradise.

FREMANTLE Once WA’s best-kept secret, the world has well and truly rediscovered the charming little port city colloquially known as Freo. Relaxed is an understatement! The air is different in Freo; people walk at a different pace. Freo is all about the good things in life (sans pretensions): fish’n’chips and a beer in the fishing boat harbour while the seagulls circle overhead; the perfect Italian cappuccino on South Terrace amongst the old Italian blokes who have been chillin’ Freo-style decades; and a late arvo pint of Pale Ale, with some grilled kangaroo, over at the iconic Little Creatures Brewery. With the famous markets, a brilliant range of Mediterranean-style restaurants and the best selection of pubs in the state, Freo is – quite simply – a must! THE CLINK Mixed 14/16 South Tce, Fremantle

There are two sides to Leederville: the sophisticated yet casual-chic café strip by day, dotted with a tasty range of fashion boutiques, and the wild-child party monster by night. One of the finest entertainment strips to emerge in the past couple of years, Oxford Street has just the right blend of coolness, charm, practicality and sophistication. Whether you’re dolled up to the hilt or sporting the bohemian chic look – complete with flip flops – it’s all dandy, as anything goes in Leederville. And when the sun goes down the night creatures come out to play – and play hard! If you want to be untamed, then Leederville’s your hood. 44
