Hello!
I’m Tahnee.
I was born and raised in Perth, Western Australia — one of the most geographically isolated cities in the world, and, in my opinion, one of the most underrated.
I created PerthGirl in 2014 as a way to document the places I was exploring and to challenge the old narrative that Perth was “dull” or “boring.” Back then, it was a personal project — part hobby, part creative outlet.
Over time, both I and the city evolved.
Born and raised in Perth, I have spent years exploring Western Australia — documenting hidden gems, weekend escapes and the experiences that make this place special.
Today, Perth is widely recognised for its quality of life, coastline, natural beauty and growing culture. And I’ve evolved too — from documenting weekend adventures to curating meaningful experiences.
PerthGirl is no longer just a blog. It’s a curated archive of experiences, insights and recommendations from someone who lived it firsthand. If you’re looking for:
- Hidden gems
- Weekend escapes
- Honest local insight
- Curated experiences
You’re in the right place.
Beyond Perth
In 2018, my partner and I completed a “big lap” road trip around Australia — an experience that deepened my appreciation for landscape, distance and perspective.
While PerthGirl focuses on Western Australia, my broader travel adventures live at DirtyDrifters.com.au — a separate project dedicated to overlanding and road travel.
