Reverse	The coin's reverse depicts a view of Perth consisting of a representation of a black swan on the Swan River, colour washed, with the city skyline of Perth in the background. Founded in 1829, the world's most isolated capital city lies close to the south-west corner of Western Australia. Its development was slow until the discovery of rich gold deposits inland at Coolgardie and Kalgoorlie in the 1890s. Gold, and the State's other mineral resources, have shaped a modern, dynamic city in close proximity to unspoiled Indian Ocean beaches and its greatest asset of all: the graceful Swan River. The design includes a black swan, an extraordinary sight to early European explorers such as Willem de Vlamingh, who named the future city's main waterway in 1697. The inscriptions "DISCOVER AUSTRALIA", "2006", "Perth", "1 OZ 999 SILVER", the traditional "P" mintmark and the monogram "JR" also appear in the design.

Reverse	The coin's reverse depicts a view Queensland's Gold Coast consisting of a representation of a surfer riding a colour washed Pacific Ocean wave, with the skyline of Surfers Paradise in the background. The long white beaches south of Brisbane became popular holiday destinations for well-heeled city dwellers at the end of the 19th century. But it was not until the real estate boom of the 1940s that it was dubbed the 'gold coast'. Frenetic development transformed a string of seaside towns, including Surfers Paradise, into a vibrant metropolis benefiting from bustling esplanades, theme parks and shopping precincts.

Reverse	The coin's reverse symbolises the return each evening of Little Penguins from the sea to their sand dune burrows on Phillip Island and consists of a representation of 3 penguins on shore, with water and colour washed rocks in the background. Located 124 kilometres south of Melbourne, the island was once occupied by the Bunurong aboriginal people. European settlers used it for fishing, sheep farming and to grow chicory. The island's popularity among Victorians took off in the 1920s with the aid of ferry services, while the contrasting attractions presented by spectacular wildlife and motor racing helped it to national and international fame.

Sydney is Australia's largest metropolis, which began as a desolate penal colony in 1788 when Captain Arthur Phillip sailed the 'First Fleet' from Botany Bay to a more suitable site at Sydney Cove. In contrast to its early existence, Sydney offers an enviable lifestyle around the sparkling blue waters of its magnificent harbour and famous beaches.

Broome is a magnet for visitors offering winter warmth and an intoxicating blend of history, romance and indulgence. From the 1880s, European, Asian and indigenous Australians flocked to Roebuck Bay on the north-west coast in search of pearls and personal fortunes. Their pearling adventures and the fascinating melting pot of cultures they created still flavour the charismatic town.

Reverse	The coin's reverse depicts a representation of an Emu (Dromaius noveahollandiae), Australia's largest bird, standing on 1 leg in grass. Although it cannot fly, an Emu's powerful legs mean it can run as fast as 50 kilometres an hour over the continent's dry plains. Emus are ratites, the oldest of modern bird families. Their primitive feathers help them survive in a wide varity of climates, including the snowfields of Australia's high country.
