Perth is the capital and largest city of the Australian state of Western Australia. It is the fourth-most populous city in Australia, with an estimated population of 2.02 million (as of 30 June 2014) living in Greater Perth. Perth is part of the South West Land Division of Western Australia, with the majority of the metropolitan area of Perth located on the Swan Coastal Plain, a narrow strip between the Indian Ocean and the Darling Scarp, a low coastal escarpment. The first areas settled were on the Swan River, with the city's central business district and port (Fremantle) both located on its shores.
Founded in 1829 as the administrative centre of the Swan River Colony, Perth became known worldwide as the "City of Light" when city residents lit their house lights and streetlights as American astronaut John Glenn passed overhead while orbiting the earth on Friendship 7 in 1962.
Diane Ross from Kingsbridge Travel did an amazing job planning my honeymoon.
We toured Italy and France, and Diane truly did all the work. I would recommend Diane and Kingsbridge Travel to anyone and everyone who is looking to plan a trip abroad. Without her, so much unnecessary stress would have been added during the trip. Book with a travel agent... there's no need to handle it on your own because you will forget something. Thanks Diane for everything!
