Bentley is a well connected, residential suburb with all the essential amenities. Perth itself, as capital of Western Australia and due its distance from other cities, is a largely self sufficient and an administrative centre for business and government. Perth is a very ethnically diverse city, with waves of immigration over the centuries, resulting in a mixed heritage population of Europeans,
Southeast Asians, Indians and South Africans. Perth itself attracts a lot of tourists with its many museums, great shopping, aboriginal centres, zoo and renowned urban parks, such as the beautiful King Park looking over the Swan River.
