Perth, which is the capital of Western Australia, has been known as one of the most isolated major cities in the world. Despite its remote location, Perth has been praised for its stunning beaches, relaxed lifestyle, and abundant sunshine. The city, which has a population of approximately two million, has experienced significant growth in recent years. Many working holiday makers who have travelled to Western Australia have been employed on farms in the surrounding regions. Farm work, which includes fruit picking, vegetable harvesting, and livestock management, has been recognised as a popular way to extend a working holiday visa. The Swan Valley, which is located just thirty minutes from Perth's city centre, has produced award-winning wines for over a century. Regional areas that surround Perth have offered diverse employment opportunities to international visitors who seek adventure and cultural exchange.

Q: ファームワークが人気な理由として挙げられているものは何ですか？
I have spent three months working at an apple farm in Donnybrook, which is located about three hours south of Perth, and it has been a life-changing experience. The work, which started at six every morning, was physically demanding but incredibly rewarding. I was assigned to a team of twelve pickers who came from various countries, including Japan, Korea, and Germany. The accommodation, which was provided by the farm owner, consisted of shared cabins that were equipped with basic facilities. We were paid per bin of apples that was harvested, and on productive days, I managed to earn approximately two hundred dollars. The friendships that were formed during this period have become some of the most meaningful connections of my life. The stunning sunsets that were visible from the farm every evening made the hard work worthwhile.

パースからフェリーで約30分の 'Rottnest Island' は、クォッカ（quokka）という小型有袋類で有名です。クォッカは笑っているような顔をしていて、'the happiest animal in the world' と呼ばれています。クォッカとの自撮りは '#quokkaselfie' としてSNSで大人気です。島では車が禁止されているので、自転車で回ります。
