Living in WA

Western Australia is the largest state in Australia and one of much diversity. It has close to 2 million people, with a quarter of the population born overseas. This represents the highest proportion of residents born overseas of any Australian State or Territory.

People, who come here adore its brilliant blue skies, warm sunny climate, glorious beaches and vast forests. WA has some of the most spectacular landscapes in the Southern Hemisphere.

Spanning over 2.5 million square kilometres, WA's panoramic landscape stretches from the rolling hills and valleys in the south where vineyards abound and good living is a way of life to the rugged outback wilderness in the far north where adventure is the name of the game.

Perth, the capital of WA is home to 1.38 million people and enjoys more hours of sunshine than any other capital city in Australia. Perth's lifestyle is easy-going with a number of inner-city parks and the beautiful Swan River adding to the relaxed, nature-friendly environment.
