We Thought Perth Was Australia’s California. We Were Wrong.

Perth immediately reminded me of Southern California: sunny, coastal, clean, welcoming, and full of space. But our first day in Western Australia quickly became about something much deeper.

In this first episode of our Western Australia series with WA Tourism, we arrive in Perth, explore Elizabeth Quay, have lunch at Little Creatures, and visit Kings Park with Steven from In Culture Tours. What starts as a beautiful city arrival becomes an important lesson in Country, Aboriginal culture, and the history beneath modern Perth.

This is the beginning of our journey through Perth, Fremantle, Rottnest Island, and Karijini National Park.
