John Lee Hooker?.................. oh wrong thread.

yeah.......when there's far better places to live......its amazing.....the only reason i can think of is....the so called sheep mentality

Been to both and really can't see how anyone can come to the conclusion that perth as anything over the east coast.

weather....cold in the winter.....too hot in the summer.

house prices...crazy.....

most of the population ....on the other side

better job opportunities east side ...unless your in to mining

property crash on the way........so many now moving to Brizzy...Goldcoast etc...

seriously though not trying to slag off WA ....but it really baffles me....


all the best plumb.....

saying somewhere is far better to live is quite subjective now isn't it. perth is better for me than the east coast, doesn't mean the east coast is shit just that Perth offers ME more.

the plumber

Calm down don't get so defensive............i did'nt say that .....all i'm saying is why perth over east coast.......it really does baffle me.....

northernbird

it baffles me why people prefer the east coast too

the plumber

Don't know why .....it makes more sense....!

did'nt mean that.....sorry.....!

Suni&Jay

Thought Perth was west coast

the plumber

I think all i'm trying to say is......really do try and do a bit of traveling before taking the plunge.....and take what a lot of people say here with a pitch of salt.....

Only your know where you what to settle..... obviously for northernbird its perth.......

northernbird

I can't see why people over east have such a huge problem if people prefer Perth.

the plumber

We just don't like to see people wasting their hard earned money.....

ps and ending up going home.....thinking thats all there is to oz...?

Nu-Shooz

Yes it is west coast, just like he said.

I understand what he is saying. Since living in Perth i am now a great believer in 'each to their own'....or 'whatever tickles your fancy'

on a mission

Explain why, it baffles you?

I lived on the East coast, but going to settle in the West now, due to a possible opportunity cant say anything negative, apart from wages seem low considering house prices and general living costs are higher.

its a subjective argument, indeed, but unless you truely know what it is you want from anything, you will always find problems and issues, even though they arent that big trust me, Im a champion at this.

the plumber

i think you might have answered your own question....

Anyone with half a brain realises that Australia isn't just one area
