A native or inhabitant of Perth, Western Australia.
Inaccurately perceived by foreigners as being a progressive and trendy individual (their city, incidentally, consistently ranks amongst the world's most livable), The Perthian is (more correctly) stereotyped by other Australians as unsophisticated and bogan, to a level almost on par with that of the average Queenslander.
- Adjective
Of, or relating to Perth (Western Australia).
