Point Peron is the most westerly point in the Perth metropolitan area. Situated near Rockingham, approximately 38km south of the Perth CBD, it's a headland known for its rock formations and reefs with several small beaches. Despite being away from the worst of the city's light pollution it still suffers more than other locations I've been to around the city, in fact it has the worst light pollution of any location I have photographed (between 21.5 & 21.2 mpss). Thankfully I was facing directly west, towards the Indian Ocean where the light pollution drops off dramatically.
