Perth
Perth is Western Australia's gateway and the proving ground for ultra-long-haul aviation: the Qantas non-stop to London made it the first city linking Australia and Europe directly, and new non-stops keep extending its reach. The world's most isolated major city sells Indian Ocean beaches, Margaret River wine and a resources-economy hotel market. On this page you'll find Perth news covering ultra-long-haul route development, Western Australia's visitor campaigns, hotel investment, aviation capacity and the state's push to turn stopover-free connectivity into longer stays.
