Sand at the beach,
Sand at the shore.
Sand in the ocean
On the ocean floor.
Sand in the desert,
Sand on the ground.
Sand in a sandstorm
Blowing all around!
Sand from rock that has
Crumbled into grains
Saind in a sand dune
Shaped by wind and rains.
Sand on an island,
Sand in the sea.
Sand in the sandbox
For you and me.

Have been to most of the major cities in Oz - Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne, Adelaide and Perth on several occasions
Have to say that Perth is my least favourite. Thought it was unattractive, dry and run down, and the sense of isolation almost palpable.
Just MHO and not intended to offend residents.
The other city I am not too keen on is Melbourne (grey and gloomy). However do love Sydney, Brisbane and Adelaide (where I live).

Nothing beats:
- waking up in the morning to sunshine,
- being able to walk out the door with out getting your head wet
- wearing only one layer of clothes and not enough so you look like a stuffed pig
- getting a real tan
- meeting friendly locals who are relaxed
- walking to the beach, drinking a beer and having a lazy day
- being able to live so close to the beach that you get views from your bedroom window and you don't get blown away by a gust of wind
- being able to get in to the ocean without freezing your balls off
- being able to drive to work and back in daylight
Perth is great. Relaxed, great weather, enough shops to get what you need and more (unless you're a materialistic bastard), friendly locals and very safe. A great place to raise a family.
