Whether you’re chasing adventure, relaxation, or new experiences with teammates and friends, there’s plenty to discover before, during, and after Nationals.
Perth is home to some of Australia’s most iconic beaches, where crystal-clear waters, white sand and more than 3,000 hours of sunshine each year create the perfect coastal playground. From the world-famous surf breaks of Scarborough Beach and the relaxed atmosphere of Cottesloe Beach to the stunning sunsets that light up the Indian Ocean each evening, Perth’s coastline offers something for everyone. Whether you’re swimming, surfing, beach volleyball, enjoying a post-event dip or simply soaking up the atmosphere, Perth’s legendary beaches are an essential part of the city’s lifestyle and one of the many reasons visitors fall in love with Western Australia’s capital.
Perth combines the energy of a modern global city with the relaxed lifestyle Western Australia is famous for. The city centre is home to bustling cafés, rooftop bars, live music venues, cultural events and a thriving dining scene, all set against the backdrop of the picturesque Swan River. With major universities integrated throughout the city, students are never far from the action, creating a strong connection between campus life and the broader community. From study spaces and sporting precincts to entertainment districts and waterfront hangouts, Perth offers a vibrant and welcoming environment where students can connect, explore and make the most of their time both on and off campus.
Just 25 minutes from Perth’s CBD, the Swan Valley is Western Australia’s oldest wine region and one of the state’s most popular visitor destinations. Home to award-winning wineries, craft breweries, artisan food producers, chocolate makers and local markets, the region offers the perfect opportunity to unwind and experience a different side of Perth. Whether you’re enjoying a long lunch, sampling local produce or exploring the scenic countryside, the Swan Valley is an easy and memorable addition to your Nationals experience.
