Then I think it reasonable to conclude that 1 in 100 people think Perth is great and 99 % of people think it is boring in the middle of nowhere, hicksville etc. I doubt that the opinions of 50% of the people on expats is "uninformed bollocks" as you put it, more likely they have a different prospective, who knows maybe some people have less money, no boat or other toys etc etc. Good luck all those going east.

Re: Goodbye Perth Hello Queensland
oh dear,
I went to perth in september 2007 on my trip round oz while lokking for somewhere to live, im now worried that the population of perth that live in these enclaves with the british shops and attitudes will move to queensland and spoil it for the rest of us ( sorry nothern suburbs of perth ) So i might have to buy a house pretty damn quick if the same thing happens here as happened in perth, this is only my view point and im not winding you all up !!!!!!!!!!! but im scared !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
Re: Goodbye Perth Hello Queensland
I was a bit sweeping on my last post by singling out certain parts of perth, there are parts of WA that are great eg freo, exmouth, margrate river, broome but perth to me was not what i wanted.
and the northern suburbs on my experiance there were enclaves of brits living the same lives as they left behind but with sunshine for most of the year. Queensland is a big place so to say its the new Perth is also a bit excesive as perth itself is bloody small in comparasion to queensland. I dont think il ever like Perth and i found it very over rated, boring or i might have chose the wrong place to stop for a month |
Re: Goodbye Perth Hello Queensland

Re: Goodbye Perth Hello Queensland
I know of 3 seperate people in Perth who have spent many years over East and have actually chose Perth as they prefer it, horses for courses e.t.c

Re: Goodbye Perth Hello Queensland
We moved from Perth-Sunshine Coast 7 months ago. We did not move from Perth because we hated it-we think Perth is great and if someone told us we had to go back tommorow, we would not mind a bit...but we wanted to live over on the East Coast for a bit to see what it had to offer. And it certainly offers a lot-so many places to go for weekends etc.
