If you hear someone talking about Australia’s ‘city of lights’, they mean Perth. It is said that when the first Mercury spacecraft came over the city in 1962, thousands of people turned on their lights to greet the astronauts – causing the city to blaze with light.
Today, Perth is a thriving, relaxed and modern city with a population of around 1.4 million people*. This number is supplemented by thousands of tourists and travellers every year, who visit to enjoy the sunshine and glorious sandy beaches.
Southern Australia has four distinct seasons like Europe – but summer falls between December and February – and July is often the wettest month. The city’s climate can be likened to a Mediterranean one, however, with warm dry summers and mild winters.
