Just done a search and can't find anything so here goes...

Brisbane or Perth?

Always fancied Bris, something may come up in Perth - what do y'all think?

Amazulu

Search and you shall find.....

I was hoping it was a sarcastic post.....?

Amazulu

I think they are being serious - believe it or not!

Go to Brisbane. Perth is boring and full of English, you will be happier in Brisbane

brido

Brisbane beats Perth hands down,location is a major point and you can fly to Sydney in just over an hour from Brisbane.

Perth is too isolated,i could make more money in Perth and buy a cheaper house but location is everything in my opinion.

If thats not convinced you then the Shark attack fatalities world wide is 11% and in Western Australia the average is 22%!!!

northernbird

61 recorded human deaths due to shark attack in the last 50 years (up to December 2004). Of these, 22 have occurred in Queensland, 16 in South Australia, 9 in New South Wales, 7 in Western Australia, 4 in Tasmania, and 3 in Victoria.

bridie

Really??

People should point that out more often.....

I think you should head to Brisbane, if you didnt manage to find anything through searching this site, then id say Perth can probably cope without you

PS: When you get to Brisbane and decide to hit the beach, dont forget to get in your car first, anything decent is about an hour and a half away
Oh and if you head to the GC make sure you leave early otherwise by the time you get there the sun will of set behind the high rises and you'll be in the dark (somewhere around 2pm)

If you are going to choose your location on that basis you should never leave your house never mind get on a plane and emigrate, wrap everything electrical in your house in aluminium foil and everything else in cotton wool

PS 22% of what? 22% of the people I meet are not killed by sharks every year???

for starters...

it all depends upon what you're looking for
can you afford to do a reccie trip to get the feel for both places?

bridie

am i the only one who saw a at the end of the original post?

Amazulu

22% of people who live in fear of this shit that's who.

The sea is the realm of the shark - not of the human.
If a shark eats whilst you are in his hood then tough titty - you only have yourself to blame.

gedge

not much to go on though is it
i weighed up the smiley against the wording, the poster and where they posted this and decided it was probably a serious question
