Re: A move to Perth??
We are in Bris have no kids (yet) and love it here. I have just got back from a week in Perth on business and it does not compare with bris at all, the city is much smaller, much less shopping, bars and clubs. Don't get me wrong it seems a nice place but just different. And don't forget how remote it is, my flight to Perth was five and a half hours! At least living in Brisbane there are many more opportunities for days/weekends away, Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast, Sydney, Barrier Reef etc.. etc.. Perth is close to not a lot.

Interesting. The WA gov. is pathetic. I've never know an organisation with so much money, which talks a good game but actually does so little.
Useless. Mark |

After 4 days I was suffering but still plodding away. At one of the afternoon sessions a cute Sheila turned up with the company and watched us, I think she even gave us a hand and engaged me in a little chat. It was only her presence that geed me up and kept me going that time. :) I thought, "I'm not going to break in front of someone that cute". |

It doesn't help that the big councils keep nicking bits of the City for themselves. It has become a tiny body that relies on others to fund its (ambitious) plans. Because of this it comes across as reactive, rather than proactive. They really do need someone with balls to run it.
Mark Far be it from me to let the WA govt. off the hook - they are truly the most useless, ineffective, money-grabbing, gravy-train riding, self-serving, uneducated, unprofessional, disorganised bunch of bureaucrats I have ever encountered. But City of Perth aren't far behind. |

Don't forget that many of Perth's faults are a result of apathetic decision making within the city council - not the state.

I didn't expect it in Australia, a country which likes to have a pop at countries such as Indonesia for all of the above. |
