Perth

Perth is the most isolated city in the world. One-and-a-half million of Western Australia’s 2-million people live here, the remainder dispersed over an area roughly ten times the size of the UK. Just about every West Oz surf trip begins in Perth, which boasts the region’s only international airport. In the city you can soon stock up on the necessary hardware and provisions for long distance travel in the dusty outback, or stay a while for some chilled-out warm-up sessions at the relaxed city spots.
