'It's tremendous to be back in Western Australia, Julie it's great to be here with you,' he said.
The Prime Minister went on to speak about the state, before urging the crowd to vote Liberal.
'The reason I love coming to Western Australia and always have for decades, is there's just something about Western Australia,' he said.

'And what it is, I believe, is this is the true heart of aspiration in the country.'
Mr Morrison also shared a picture on social media of him enjoying a birthday cake with his NRL team, the Cronulla Sharks, decorated on the top.
'Thanks for the cake and all the birthday wishes today,' he wrote on Facebook.
His birthday was spent crisscrossing the country to target seats the Coalition needs to win - in a last ditch bid to out-run bad polls.
The latest Newspoll has Labor ahead 51 per cent to 49 on the two-party preferred vote, and the margin has barely budged just days out from the election.

The Prime Minister was in the Labor-held seat of Lindsay on Monday morning, before flying across the country to Perth, where he campaigned in the Labor seat of Cowan.
Ms Bishop, who is not contesting the election, refused to tell reporters in Perth whether the Liberal Party would be in better shape if she and Malcolm Turnbull were still in charge.
'That's a hypothetical - there's no point in looking back - we just look forward,' she said.
'I think Scott Morrison will continue to be a very fine Prime Minister.'
Ms Bishop has previously ruled out accepting a foreign posting when she walks away from politics.
The Federal Election will be held on May 18.
