Posted 6 February, 2025 Sasha Oelsner

Perth is one of the world’s most remote capital cities and it’s far enough away that you’ll feel like you’re on an overseas holiday, all without leaving the country or needing a passport.

The city, which is known for its beautiful beaches and smiling marsupials, boasts an average of 8.8 hours of sunshine per day.
