| Western Australia occupies the western third of the Australian
continent, comprising a land area of about 2,529,880 square kilometres.
Although WA has the largest land area of any Australian state or territory,
it is home to only just under 10% of Australia's population.
The state capital is Perth, founded on 12 August 1829. The landscape and scenery of WA is incredibly diverse with towering forests, an ocean teeming with marine life and coral reefs, a coastline that is sometimes rugged but often sugar-white, mysterious land formations and ancient gorges, and lush fields of seasonal wildflowers. |
