After winning the chance to go along on Oprah's Ultimate Australian Adventure, Michelle Bryan and her husband, LeWayne, fly to Perth, Australia, for a couple's vacation. Perth is the capital and largest city in the Western Australia region with a population of about 1.7 million. This was Michelle and LeWayne's first stop on their Western Australian adventure.

After just four days in Western Australia, it's time for Michelle and LeWayne to head to Sydney. Before they leave, they take a photo with their new Aussie friends: Michelle from the Intercontinental Burswood; Murray from Tourism Western Australia; Dan, the couple's chauffeur; and Kim from Tourism Australia. "Friends from Perth we will cherish forever," Michelle says.
