Local tip
PER is 12km east of central Perth — the new T3 airport train (opened 2022) goes Perth Underground in 20 min for AUD 5. Perth is the closest Australian capital to Asia, making it the most common Australian transit hub from Singapore, Bali, Bangkok, Dubai. For 6-hour layovers: Kings Park + Elizabeth Quay. For 12+ hours: add Fremantle. The Indian Ocean sunset from Cottesloe is the West Coast's unique gift.
