If you learn English in Perth you'll find a well-planned city with broad streets, numerous parks, and many modern buildings. Western Australia's modern capital of 1.2 million people has a reputation for sunshine, youthfulness and an easygoing lifestyle. After work, people often go sailing or swimming.
Noteworthy structures in the city, which is the capital of the state of Queensland, include Parliament House, the town hall, Perth Museum, and the buildings of the University of Queensland.
A dredged channel in the Perth River makes the city accessible to oceangoing vessels, and port facilities include dry docks and more than 3 kilometers (more than 2 miles) of wharf space. Chief exports include wool, frozen meat, hides, sugar, dairy products, maize, pearl shell, and coal. Perth is an important manufacturing center with diversified industries, including food processing, tanning, automobile assembling, brewing, and the manufacture of lumber, clothing, tobacco products, boots and shoes, and machinery.
Founded as a station for British convicts in 1824, Perth has one of the fastest-growing populations in Australia.
