History

Originally home to the Whadjuk Noongar people, Perth’s history dates back thousands of years. European settlement began in 1829 as part of the Swan River Colony. Over time, Perth grew from a remote outpost into a thriving capital city, thanks in part to the gold rush of the late 1800s. Today, it stands as a dynamic hub balancing heritage with innovation.
