Re: Perth or Adelaide

Worth remembering as well, I suppose, that Australian towns are quite removed from many of their UK equivalents by a considerable margin.


Another reason I would probably suggest finding ones...

Re: Perth or Adelaide

There are some small, but surprisingly pleasant towns, not to far from Perth, one I was at recently being Wagin. For someone that prefers a quiet life, cheap housing, but accessible to the Big Smoke...

Re: Perth or Adelaide

Another reason I mentioned Albany, is IMO, is has something of a quaint 'English seaside town' about it.


Its oldness, its grey skies and rain, Devonshire teas in the main street, British...

Re: Perth or Adelaide

Sorry if you feel that I am over selling Albany. I can tell you I am not. I have already stated the ridiculous house price inflation there as well as the expense of dining out.
It is and remains...

Re: Perth or Adelaide

Busselton is a nice spot. I can't comment too much on the town as only made a few day trips there over recent decade. But I would say a lot of retired folk but haven't looked at the demographics....

Re: Perth or Adelaide

Right you are then. My thoughts on Bunbury. Unless can afford to live close to centre, I'm not sure I'd bother. Well I'll refine that. Check out the suburb well. Bunbury has some serious 'social...

Re: Perth or Adelaide

I'm very cautious at using slogans like 6th best city in the world to live in, as the measurements are for business travellers and hence things like real estate costs are not included . As much as I...

Re: Perth or Adelaide

I agree, although I would stretch my desired area to of course Middleton Beach (which is walkable done it many a time or cycled) possibly Emu Point, as do the beach walk most mornings from Middleton...

Re: Perth or Adelaide

At the end of the day I would allow work to dictate location. Not the reverse. There is little point being in a place where work proves difficult to obtain.
Australia is an expensive country. There...

Re: Perth or Adelaide

Yes lovely spot in many ways. We have looked at housing over recent years down year, but can't get over the price rise over fifteen years or less. The better areas are similar in price to areas close...

Re: Perth or Adelaide

Re: Perth or Adelaide

Both places have pro and cons. Quite a lot despair at Adelaide being this and that. I have always liked it but never lived there only visited.


I agree with some comments made regarding the...
