PET FRIENDLY TRAVEL TO PERTH, AUSTRALIA

Perth, capital of the state of Western Australia, also known as The Real Australian state because of her unspoiled rugged wilderness landscape, amazing scenery and big blue skies is the largest of all of the Australian States and offers some of the most diverse scenery in the country. You may see an elephant in the circus or zoo, but there will be plenty of kangaroos, koalas and lots of reptiles!
