Western Australia (WA)

Western Australia is the largest Australian State. It is bordered by Northern Territory to the northeast, South Australia to the southeast, the Indian Ocean to the north and west, and the Southern Ocean to the south. The largest city is Perth, whose greater metropolitan area is the fourth-largest in Australia. During the Second World War, U.S. Navy submarines operated out of Perth, patrolling the South Pacific Ocean and returning here for repair and rearming. There is a strong maritime heritage in this city.
