Re: Perth boredom
Now this isn't a rant about Perth being boring, more that I'm a bit bored in Perth...if that makes sense.
I've been here now for around 6 or 7 weeks and am currently working for the company I was with but at home. I start at 6am and am finished at about 2pm.
My wife works from 8 till around 5 and gets home at about 6, and for most of the afternoon I'm sitting here twiddling my thumbs wondering what to do (there's only so much Aussie daytime TV a bloke can take...!).
Does anyone have any idea/advice on what I can do with myself?
Cheers!

Re: Perth boredom
Thanks for all the replies.
Part of the problem is that our stuff hasn't yet arrived from the UK, so still living out of a suitcase.
To be fair I shouldn't have mentioned Perth, and just titled this thread 'Boredom' as I'm sure I would be in the same situation whatever city I was in.
I've joined a gym, but have no gym gear here (can't really afford to go and buy new stuff) - plus I've got my bike coming over. So once they do I'm sure I'll be able to fill my time.

Re: Perth boredom
Go running if you're able. Its a great way to explore your new surroundings and keep fit at the same time, but then... I'm addicted so I would suggest that
