While distances can be longer than what the average travelling might be used to the pay off is definitely worthwhile. Perth locals are welcoming and always proud of their city.

Day trips are a always a popular and enjoyable option for travellers hiring a rental vehicle for their trip to Perth. A short, one hour drive to the hills area will reward visitors with waterfalls and rock formations at John Forrest National Park. The Bibbulman Tracks are another popular destination and start just thirty minutes south of Perth. A full or half day walk is possible with time to spare for dinner and a drink back in Perth itself.

Locals insist that all visitors should find time to see Rottnest Island. It's only a thirty minute ferry ride from Fremantle and the island is absolutely amazing. While on Rottness island ypou can meet an interesting little local called a Quokka. You will easily see that this little macropod is a relation of the Kangarro and Wallabie. Rottnest boasts some of the most specatcular beaches you'll find anywhere in Australia as well as amazing holiday accomodation.

As well as this the Perth Hills (Kalamunda) are also worth visiting.

If driving yourself around in your rental vehicle just seems like too much hard work for a holiday though, then there are plenty of pre organised tours on offer. A full day tour can allow you to experience Western Australia's best beaches and stretches of coastline and can include an Aussie BBQ lunch and a boat cruise. Alternatively a wine cruise down the Swan River is always a tourist pleaser!

If water is your thing then AQWA makes a great pit stop for all the family (and even the most luxurious rental car can get a bit stuffy after a long day of driving). The AQWA is Western Australia's number one nature attraction. It features Australia's larrgest aquarium and underwarter tunnel, gorgeous living coral reefs, huge sharks, turtles and sting rays and an amazing collection of WA marine animals. It represents some 12 thousand kilometers of the coastline in just a few hundred metres.

Because Western Australia is such a huge State, Perth is a wonderful place to base yourself for your Western adventure and a great place to hire a vehicle. Wine Tours of the Margaret River, Snorkelling on Ningaloo Reef, Swan River Cruises from Fremantle and the gold fields of Kalgoorlie are just a sample of the best of the west. And it's all there for you to explore in your carhire.com.au Vehicle.

On the 7th and 8th of November The Rat Race will arrive in Perth. The Rat Race is being hyped as ‘the ultimate urban adventure’ and promises a mixture of adrenaline, teamwork and fun. The idea is for the ‘Rats’ to scurry around the City on the highly secretive Rat Race route. There’s plenty of entertainment for non-participants too. We’re not sure if a carhire.com.au rental vehicle would be classified as an unfair advantage though!

For a great view of the city, explore the lush gardens of Kings Park and you'll be well rewarded. And you can explore the city itself with the free CAT buses then jump into your carhire.com.au vehicle to fully experience the region.
Currently, Perth is in a substantial growth period in terms of inner-city living, development and industry. It services 100,000 daily visitors and workers in addition to its 13,000 inner-city residents.

Just because it's far removed from Australia's other major cities certainly doesn't mean Perth shouldn't make your list of destinations. Perth is located in Australia's largest State, Western Australia and, positioned on the water as it is, it's absolutely beautiful.

The Wembley Golf Complex is arguable one of Australia's finest public facilities, with 18 hole courses and a magnificent day and night driving range.

Dance Dialects is a multicultural dance initiative developped by Ausdance WA and it's on from the 19th to the 21st of November at 8pm in the Perth town hall on the corner of Barrack and Hay Streets at 8pm. Dance Dialects celebrates contemporary dance by artists from culturally diverse backgrounds who make up the West Australian dance landscape.

Captain Cook Cruises offer a wide range of luscious cruise options from Perth to Fremantle or upstream to the magnificent Swan Valley wine region.

Truth Action Australia and 911oz.com is hosting an international conference called “The Hard Evidence” to examine the three building Collapses in New York on September 11, 2001. It takes place at the Tom Mann Theatre on Chalmers Street. Ph: 1300 153 372 for more details.

Perth Cultural Centre is both an area of central Perth and the collective name for the main buildings of the Art Gallery of Western Australia and is definitely worth a visit.

Here's a fun factoid for the geeks out there: Perth became internationally known as the "City of Lights" when residents lit up their houses and streetlights as American astronaut John Glenn passed overhead while orbiting the earth on Friendship 7 in 1962. In 1998 the city repeated this stunt as Glenn passed overhead on the Space Shuttle.

If you want to fit in with the locals in Perth then you'll need to brush up on your sports trivia! Nearly 24% of Western Australians attended an Australian rules football match in 2005 and this is easily the most popular spectator sport in Perth. But there's plenty of room for other sports too and we've compiled a handy list of teams for you:

West Coast Eagles and the Fremantle Dockers - Australian Football
Perth Wildcats - Basketball
Western Warriors - Cricket
Smokefree WA Thundersticks, Smokefree WA Diamonds - Hockey
West Coast Fever (Formerly Perth Orioles) - Netball
Western Force - Rugby union
Soccer: Perth Glory - Soccer
Perth Heat - Baseball

But it's not all about the blokey sports parephernalia. The city is nestled on the Swan River and snakes its way back to the Indian ocean. Perth is blessed with some of the most stunning beaches in Australia and is renowned for the quality of entertainers that have originated there, including the late but much loved Heath Ledger. Consequenttly it supports a strong music & performing arts scene. Others stars like Ilsa Fisher and the band Eskimo Joe have all started their craft in the West.

Something to bear in mind if you are planning to drive around Western Australia is that your GPS and other maps may be out of date. The Perth to Bunbury Highway is due to open to traffic on Sunday, September 20 so be sure to update your electronic mapping devices.
