Some facts about Perth and WA

Western Australia...
is larger than all of Western Europe
is about 1/3 of the whole of Australia
is 4x bigger than Texas
has over 70 National Parks and 2 World Heritage sites
experiences dry and wet seasons up north

Perth...
is the world's most isolated and sunniest capital city
has a population of about 1.8 million
has an average winter temp of about 60-65F and average summer temp of 86F

There are only 2 million people in the huge state of WA- and 90% of them live in and around Perth. To give you an idea of how empty that is: Texas has a population of about 25 million- on land 1/4 the size of WA.
