10) Perth, Western Australia
Perth is a city located on the coast of Western Australia that is a geographical outlier in comparison to the rest of the continent. Despite its distance from its nearest neighbor over 1,300 miles away, Perth has a large population of almost 2,100,000 residents and a plethora of local attractions, public beaches, as well as a generous skyline. Perth was ranked as one of the world’s most livable cities with its self-sustaining economy. Most industries in Perth function to provide for the city itself, and the community only outsources for products and services that the city is unable to provide. The city rests along the Swan River as well as the Swan Coastal Plain, and it is considered the second most isolated city in the world, just before Honolulu, Hawaii. Even with its geographical seclusion, Perth offers a world of cultural experiences at places such as the Perth Institute of Contemporary Arts, the Western Australian Museum, the Black Swan State Theatre Company, and more.
