This special Perth geography view of the clear river banks close to the city and the low skylines was a visual treat till the 1960s. The unabated growth of skyscrapers and the multiplying Perth population has rendered the enchanting view impossible. The Central Business District of Perth is a prominent business area which is bound by the Swan River to the south and the east. The King's Park lies on the west end while the railways lines form its northern border. The sandy and relatively flat Swan coastal plains houses the city centre and most of the suburbs of Perth laying between darling Scarp and the Indian Ocean. Perth's Oceanside and clean beaches proves to be an advantage to the coastal suburbs of Perth. You can see the geography of Perth, Australia has some startling contrasts. In general the physical terrains of Perth entails a flat rolling land mainly due to sandy soils and deep bedrock, and its metropolitan area posseses two major river systems. The first river system is made up of the Swan and Canning Rivers and the second of the serpentine and Murray Rivers discharging into the Peel Estuary at Mundurah.
