It is the fourth most populous city in Australia, with an estimated population of 1.74 million living in the Perth metropolitan area.[1] The metropolitan area is located in the South West Division of Western Australia, between the Indian Ocean and a low coastal escarpment known as the Darling Range. The central business district and suburbs of Perth are situated on the banks of the Swan River. Shortly after the establishment of the port settlement of Fremantle, Perth was founded on 12 June 1829 by Captain James Stirling as the political centre of the Swan River Colony. As the business and administration centre for the resource-rich state, Perth has grown consistently.[8] Perth became known worldwide as the "City of Light" when city residents lit their house lights and streetlights as American astronaut John Glenn passed overhead while orbiting the earth on Friendship 7 in 1962.[9][10] The city repeated the act as Glenn passed overhead on the Space Shuttle in 1998.[11][12] Perth is tied for eighth place in The Economist's 2011 list of the world's most livable cities. 伯斯（英語：Perth）是澳大利亞西澳大利亞州的首府，也是澳洲第四大城市。根據2008年6月的人口統計，伯斯都會區的人口共有160萬人，是澳洲第四大城市，人口成長率高於國家統計的平均水平。 由於地處澳洲大陸西岸地中海氣候地區，溫和的氣候與天鵝河（Swan River）沿岸的別緻景色，使伯斯得以成為非常受歡迎的觀光旅遊目的地。 伯斯擁有廣闊的居住空間及高水準的生活質素，於每年的世界最佳居住城市評選中都是名列前茅，反映出伯斯無論居住環境，生活質素及社會福利等都是頗佳的城市。伯斯人大部份都是友善的，這態度亦得到肯定，曾於2003年獲得世界最友善城市首位[8]，得到世界性的讚賞及認同。
