About Perth, Western Australia
Perth is serviced by most major international airlines through the Perth International Airport located approximately 30km from the city centre. There is also a Domestic airport which connects Perth with other Australian capital and regional cities.
Perth has a central public transport organisation called Transperth which operates buses, trains and ferries. A free transit zone, including all Transperth bus and trains, is provided every day within the central city area.
See Transperth for information on timetables, routes, and pricing. Students are also eligible for travel concessions on buses and trains - student concession stickers are given at Orientation.
Cycling is a great way to explore Perth, and there are many bicycle routes around the city and its environs. Ferries cross the river every half an hour (more frequently at peak times) during the day. The Indian-Pacific train line runs from Perth to Sydney via Adelaide, and is one of the world's great train journeys. There are also long distance trains to York, Kalgoorlie and Bunbury.
