Geography:
Australia has a very dramatic landscape. Australia is famous for its "outback," the remote lands of the interior.The desert outback covers most of the interior. It is too hot, dry and barren to support many people.Eastern Australia has large areas of grasslands, used primarily for sheep and cattle ranches.
Weather:
Perth enjoys a Mediterranean style climate of mild wet winters and hot, dry summers. Operations at Perth are affected by the passage of fronts in winter, low pressure troughs in summer, easterly winds, the sea breeze, thunderstorms and cyclones.
Amusement park:
Cohunu Koala Park
Located in the Darling Ranges this park offers spectacular views of the city and coastline.the park covers 40 acres, and has become a leading breeder of koalas in captivity. A highlight is the rare opportunity to hold a koala. A wonderful observation tunnel affords the opportunity to view the nocturnal habits of wombats. You can wander through the bird aviary and feed a selection of colourful native parrots.
Perth Beaches:
Perth’s closest beaches extend along the Indian Ocean’s Sunset Coast, 30km of near-unbroken sand and coastal suburbs stretching north of the Swan River and cooled by afternoon sea breezes. There are also inshore beaches along the Swan River at Crawley, Nedlands, Peppermint Grove and Mosman Bay on the north shore, and Como, Canning Bridge and Applecross on the south – all are calm and safe for kiddies.
Cape Peron
Situated within the Shoalwater Marine Park is a group of ideal beaches for children. Cape Peron offers a wonderful series of small bays with rocky outcrops making the area an adventure to explore. This is a great spot for snorkelling and shore diving. The best time for diving is in the morning before the wind begins to blow too much. The marine park covers 6,545 hectares taking in Shoalwater Bay and Warnbro Sound with a chain of limestone islands including Penguin Island and Seal Island. Ferries and tours to the islands run from Mersey Point.
Cottesloe Beach
The sprawling white beaches in Perth are sensational - this one tends to be particularly popular. Regular swimmers, picnicking families and sun-bakers frequent Cottlesloe. It also offers a wonderful choice of locations to watch the sunset. Enjoy spectacular views across the Indian Ocean from one of the many cafes and restaurants along Marine Parade or from a tranquil spot on the sand. At the southern end of the beach, a reasonably sheltered reef proves a great spot for snorkelling. The main beach area has showers and toilets.
Leighton Beach
This is surfer territory year round. It is not often that you will drive along Port Beach Road without spotting a wet suited body in the swell. An artificial reef was constructed off shore to ensure good waves on a regular basis. This is a great swimming, surfing and body surfing beach with rolling sand dunes and a stretch of cliffs that create a wind-swept sense of isolation. There are beach entry points, car parks, and observation spots with shaded picnic tables dotted along the coastal road.
