About the Area for SilverDoor Serviced Apartments in Perth

Founded in 1829 by Captain James Stirling, Perth is the capital and largest city in Western Australia with a population of 1.5m.

The central business district of Perth is bounded by the Swan River to the south and east, with Kings Park to the west and the railway to the north. The skyscrapers on St Georges Terrace contain more than two thirds of the 1.3 million m² of office space in the CBD, while the pedestrianised malls of Hay and Murray Streets house most of the retail and entertainment facilities, with a number of arcades linking the two.

Perth has hot, dry, summers with mean daily maximums of 30°C in February. On most summer afternoons a sea breeze, also known as "The Fremantle Doctor", blows from the south-west and cools the city. Winters are cool and moist with maximum daytime temperatures only occasionally falling below 16°C and rainfall every other day.

Perth’s remoteness means most visitors come via the airport at Guildford, 15km from downtown. It has three terminals: T1 caters for international destinations, T2 is dedicated to Qantas domestic and T3 is for other domestic flights.

The Indian Pacific passenger rail service connects Perth with Adelaide and Sydney - a 4 day journey. There are 59 railway stations and 15 bus stations in the metropolitan area since the network has been expanded in the northern and southern suburbs as part of the New MetroRail project.
