the usual, radio polls, doom mongering, in the good 'ol days comments etc.. when they had referendums in the past things like cows gettign confused and curtains fading and chickens not knowing when to lay eggs etc were brought up.

[QUOTE=manc1;5589830] yeh perth closes at 9pm

The place that time forgot.

[QUOTE=kez81;5590411] Except Hungry Jacks, as we found out on our first Friday night after arriving....

I'm mid-thirties and like to (occasionally) watch Rage between 1am and 3am (Sunday morning only) whilst totally out of my head of bourbon.

Thanks.

Go Kevin.

Thank's to all of you for the replies, I guess I'm just starting to panic about the "unknown"!!

Cheers,

You would be strange if you didn't! I doubt there are many here that didn't emigrate without some concerns, hopefully this site will help allay some fears. Most people who come to Perth do not find the practicalities of life here is a problem but that they miss friends and family..

perth is a big place ,i believe there is a place here to suit all...

maybee not everybody....

can i ask where do you live?

i think that where you left will play a big part in settling,for instance if you were from london,,,you may find it boring here...

i happen to be from birmingham...for me its like a lottery win...

life for us here is perthect,,,i hope it is for you...

perthman...

Don't laugh but.....I'm from Aberdeen!!

Why would we laugh, whats wrong with Aberdeen?

Are you escaping from the villa aston man?

We found it ok for a few months but after 2 yrs definitely dulsville. It's ok if you like going to the beach/park/barby..... every week forever cos that's all there is to do.

Shopping malls are in abundance, only problem is the shops are rubbish and all the same. Loads of cinemas and we went more than we ever have because there's not much else to do. Also libraries are good, borrowed tons of books and dvd's for the same reason, nothing else to do.
We are also in our 30's and have young children so definitely not clubbers but found the nightlife very limited. To go out locally the Moon and Sixpence in Woodvale was ok compared to the other pubs but still nothing like pubs in the UK. Too much hassle to go to the city as you CANNOT get a taxi for love nor money. Trains are ok if you live near enough to walk back home from the station.

These points are my opinion of Perth after living there for 2 years and then returning to the UK. Don't get me wrong, the weather is great and the coastline is beautiful but that's about it and that wasn't enough for us.

It's obviously a personal choice, some people love it there and some people hate it, you have to decide for yourself.

I`ve only been in woodvale a short while and find it very boring as u commented there is not much to do only go to the moon tavern. The only thing is that the high school has a great rep but thats all i seem to c that is good in woodvale sorry unsure:

its not dullsville its fliesville at the moment .But perth is about as exciting as watching grass grow [my opinion ].
If you have 700000 to 1000000 dollars you may end up somewhere that offers the same sort of facilities as the uk otherwise you will end up in a fly infested outer suburb .

Even the flies are pissing me off just now and I am a die hard perth lover. It was a nightmare today when I was out.
