Queensland is proper Australia with fauna and flora wildlife bats at night lush rain forests . Not dry dead grass bush , and bugger all in between suburbs a bland city that does not even open Saturday's how pants is that ....
Perth stands for perfect earth I guess they want it to stay that way as jack sh$t here !!

Also, you don't live in Perth, you live in Secret Harbour, which is 50km away. So you might find Secret Harbour boring, but you don't really live in Perth to judge it. It's like saying you live in, say, Grantham but that Nottingham's boring.
(I live closer than that, but I consider that I live NEAR Perth, not in it).

And everywhere else is suburbia the size of Perth and suburbs if squashed together would be the size of my home town .
It's a country town piss poor things to see and do as spread out . Seen all the suburbs from clarkson down to Margaret river ...
Pants !!!! ...... If people live near Freo then at least got a bit of a vibe , but anywhere else is suburbia ..... FACT and out of all the suburbs I have seen nor to south secret harbour is the most stunning clean pretty suburb but BORING !

And sorry to be blunt but you really need to take a read of your signature and either start living by what you've written or get yourself some antidepressents. Your bitterness at your situation is really not a healthy state to be in. Especially with a new baby. Have you considered that you may be suffering with some post partum depression?

Been to the city on Saturday's and it's like a bomb has gone off hardly anything open. it should be a vibrant bustling city instead get your knitting needles out as more exciting . You can't tell me different As I been there !

Did you not do any research into where you would be living before getting on that plane? Surely you knew Perth and its suburbs was "isolated" before you moved here.

No I do not have post natel depression I have felt this way the whole time I been here . I see the positive in the place however for me the negative outweigh the place ... Not everyone likes Perth why is it you can't accept that ,
I moved here last minute we were going to Queensland and last minute decision was to come to Perth for a number of reasons , we said if we didn't like it we would go over east , but not so easy once your here with a rental pets in quarantine for 30 days now is it ? Kids in school etc hubby got a job and got stuck ..... That's it in a but shell.
now if we read all the isolated posts before coming out here , am sure some defensive perthite would of stepped up the brigade and said how wonderful and not isolated it really is . Who should we believe .... The realists on these posts or the fantasists that make them selves believe Perth is fab !
Difficult when you never been to Perth to make that decision ... That's why we bit the bullet and came here . there are many that come over for a holiday love it , but when they live here they think differently as things like jobs and houses and what hobbies you do . People you meet all make each and everyone's view different . I stand by my view on Perth . Nice and sunny place arse end of no where with some super expensive bannanas !! Lmao ... Well they come down now .....
over all Perth is not for us ! Now that's not just me , that's all of us

Good on ya for trying somewhere else in Oz and not just packing up and going. Where I live isn't for everyone but I'm not gonna slag someone just cos they don't rate it.
Oh and if you do come accross as rude and blunt, I wouldn't worry about it there's loads like that in here
Good luck, and why not give Wollongong a try??

Can you take the plunge and move over? Personally I'm yet to experience non battery induced excitement in Australia per se but it's a logical step if you're going mad in Perth.

You have some criticism of some part of Australia therefore you must be depressed

Re: Anyone feel stuck in Perth but want out ?
Live not far from Beaufort St Festival and a bit like a country fete. Ok if that's all you want but didn't even bother to attend this years myself. Same for the yearly High Park Festival. Ok for an hour if nothing else doing, but to make a day of it would be a bit of a call surely? For folk that arrived in recent years I would endorse Perth house prices are a rip off along with a lot of other price tags here. Bruce and sheila there are plenty of others with similar thoughts including a number of Aussies.
