mmm....most interesting things there are natural sights. check out their miles of coastline where you got the whole flipping beach to yourself. but that requires quite a bit of a drive and maybe a wetsuit because the water is always cold. And not a joke, watch out for sharks. The odds are low, but there are known to be shark attacks. A few a year sometimes. If you're submerged and diving, you're less likely to get eaten. But surf and splash around and blood or pee in the water is asking for trouble.

A lot of tourists visit Fremantle (free-o) and love it, in fact everyone I know loves it, but I hate tourist traps. Sitting by the Swan river is nice and a day spent walking around and having a picnic in King's Park is great. One of my favourite things to do there is just have a picnic, lie down and look at the endless sky between the trees and fall asleep. For other things, not so good. Forget shopping except for Oz-specific curiosities. Perth is not a happening city like Tokyo or Osaka. It's got that laidback, sleepy Aussie vibe, partly because it's low density. restaurants are interesting especially the seafood ones because Oz seafood is pretty good raw materials. only cooking standard not so hot or interesting technique.

Also don't go during the height of summer. 40 degrees. Best time to go is a month or two before like late-oct, nov. otherwise it can get rainy and grey during the cooler months.

so literally, go for fresh air and sunshine and fresh food. oh, and don't bother with the beef. the lamb is always better. and I almost forgot. if you go during the right time, Oz stone fruits are the best in the world. eat there and you'll never eat it in sinkieland again. Some people go for Aussie wine. yucks! Aussie beer is much better than the wine.

Perth is actually a good place to start.

Australia is good for smokers cos service apartment are in abundance and most can smoke...depends on what you going to perth for nature or shopping if shopping then not so worth but bigw and kmart sells cheap and mostly affordable stuff compared to sg...I personally would rather start with Darwin if can get below 500 on silkair but perths good too just remember theres nothing much to do in the city centre (quite a walk to the casino as well) so choose a better place to stay

Not really..depends on what you like...its still a mining town to date hence the perception..Cairns and Darwin probably feel more like Australia as there's lots of natural spaces to explore...

Perth the city and it's suburbs is quite boring compared to Melbourne. Perth as in the landing point for the rest of WA is not too bad. I actually like WA's topography and nature more than just about any other states in Oz with the possible exception of Tasmania.

Cairns is too far - at the other end of Australia. I hate long flights.

But Darwin is worth considering. I'm a city man, and I need large shopping malls.
