A life in Perth lends itself to an enviable work/life balance. It's easy to get around, with all amenities and major attractions usually located within a 30 minute drive of the Central Business District (CBD).
Laze on the splendid white sandy beaches, sample sensuous wines in the Swan Valley or simply float down the river towards historic Fremantle. Nestled between the deep blue Indian Ocean and the rolling hills of the Darling Range, Perth is the perfect place to bring up your family.
Perth boasts many outdoor-driven sporting and recreational activities as well as cultural events and festivals.
Western Australians also have access to a wide range of parks, picnic areas and riverside environments. One of Perth's great advantages is that virtually the entire river and oceanfront is public open land, everyone can enjoy the water's edge - and they do!
