may be isolated, but it's far from being a backwater. Scattered across
the city are sophisticated restaurants showcasing modern Australian cuisine, while chic
cocktail bars bubble away in unlikely laneways and restored heritage buildings. In contrast
to the flashy face that Perth presents to the river, charmingly grungy inner suburbs echo
with the hum of guitars and turntables, and the sizzle of woks. Just downstream, the lively
port of Fremantle has a pub on just about every corner, most pouring craft brews from
around Western Australia and the world.
