perth from brisbane
 

Hello everyone,
Im looking for some advice if possible .My wife and I,and our two sons age 12 and8 are moving to Perth from Brisbane in the next few months. We have been in Brisbane just over a year but we just dont like it.
Anyway we are moving to Perth and are looking for advice regarding suburbs ,schools etc.
Also if anyone has info on getting our furniture to Perth, costs.
We also have to get the car to Perth so any info on that,would it be too much of a drive?.
Does anyone know about Stirling or Scarborough.
We have to be 20 min max from the CBD and hope to be 5-10 min walk from beach.
We had no advice coming to Brisbane and are staying in a predominantly asian community,we would rather not make this mistake in Perth.
Any info will be greatly appreciated.l

Where abouts in Brissie are you, we are moving there in June. We looked at Perth originally but for my work I need to be on the east coast. What dont you like about Brissie?

In Perth we looked around Joondaloop north of the river and rockingham on the south side.

I suppose it all depends what your after, but Im sure some Perth people will fill you in. I once had a list of places to avoid from somebody, I shall look into it and if I find it I shall PM it to you.

Re: perth from brisbane

Re: perth from brisbane

Thanks

Re: perth from brisbane
 

Perth is very multi cultural in the asian department, maybe that wont be for you either. Maybe Australasia's proximity to asia is the reason ;)

Re: perth from brisbane
 

Don't know anything about Perth so unable to help you in that department. However I am sure there are some who will wake at a reasonable hour here in Aus and share info with you:)

As for not wanting to live in a predominantly Asian community. Why was this a problem? I presume it's a cultural thing where you don't feel you fit in? It is sometimes difficult if you find the people nice but the culture different as sometimes you are not easily accepted into their fold either.

Good luck with your next move....and all the best for your future:)

another troll knob popping his head out of the mire :rolleyes:

Re: perth from brisbane
 

LOL

I live next to a load of chinks, they are sweet as anything, indians across the road, the only problem is them bloody kiwis and trampy aussies on the other side,

most miserable anti-social gits you'd ever meet.

Re: perth from brisbane
 

hello all,

previously i was using hubbies computer but now i have registered myself so i can answer you as hubby is playing strike force on his computer. anyway getting back to the question can i suggest a brilliant website that will give all suburb information on most parts of australia which is brill and there are some photo's too. http://www.aussiemove.com. (sorry i haven't worked out how to put the link on yet). apologies also if someone else has put this website on too.

cheers
loopy

Re: perth from brisbane
 

If you want to live within 20mins of the CBD and a 5 min stroll to the beach, be prepared to part with some serious cash. You won't get much change out of $900k in the nice suburbs, and thats if you can actually find a house for sale! We know people who really wanted to buy a house in Floreat.....not a hope. Houses up for sale are a bit like hens teeth. :rolleyes:

Scarborough: backpackers haven.

Plenty of nice areas ocean side around Perth, but you'll have to travel a bit longer to work: Mindarie, Iluka, Ocean Reef, Hilarys, Mullaloo, Kallaroo to name but a few.

Happy hunting. :)

P.s Being nosey now....why don't you like Brisbane? Anything specific? There are folks who aren't too fussed with Perth and looking to move to Brisbane!! ;)

Re: perth from brisbane
 

What's that all about??? :confused:

Re: perth from brisbane
 

Checking earlier posts I'd say it's their special privileges for being good in the institution, after all they have to start integrating sometime.....

Re: perth from brisbane
 

I am assuming here, and the writer of that post can correct me, but I think it was the comments made with regards to not wanting to make the same mistake by living with asians again.

Probably not the best remark to make. I am playing devils advocate here, but I suppose its like an Australian saying 'I would like to move because I dont want to live near English people'.

I may be wrong, but just a guess.

Re: perth from brisbane
 

I looked up their previous posts and have to say Sam, that they only post occassionally and they are not very nice comments. I don't think it had anything to do with the original post at all.

I could be wrong however.

Re: perth from brisbane
 

In full agreement that that poster does appear to be a professional knob cheese.

Although, I wouldnt have posted those comments about Asians either as I I have had exactly the same said to me referring to my Arab husband in the lines of 'I wouldnt want to live near arabs' or something similar.

Some things are better left unsaid I suppose.

Re: perth from brisbane
 

I wasn't defending the OP, didn't really read the post TBH.

Re: perth from brisbane
 

what like i wouldn't want to live any where near a journalist :rolleyes:

Re: perth from brisbane
 

That is not the same and you know it.

The OP would be pretty pissed off in Australia if some Aussies said 'I dont want to live near English people'.

To say they dont want to make the same mistakes again by living near Asians is not the same as your comment in the slightest.

But then again, I suppose it would be different if it were the other way around and people didnt want to live near her because of her ethnic background.

Re: perth from brisbane
 

sorry if that wound you up PP i didnt do it to upset you.

but i do tend to make light of almost any situation
( perhaps its my way of dealing with things )

on a more serious not this can and does happen PP
if your in the minority as the OP was in a predominately Asian area
the OP`s words not mine then i can see why that may make you feel isolated. the OP`s remarks are not necessarily the right way to go about it but i can understand it

in regards to the poster i referred to as troll knob i stand by that remark as i did check all his / her previous posts and the majority are in the same vein
ie personal attacks and nasty, i dont think for one second that poster gave a hoot about what was said but was more interested in winding people up for their own personal kicks ( my opinion )and we dont need need it on this forum

best regards Steve

Re: perth from brisbane
 

Have to say if I was Asian I`d find the comments offensive - bit like me saying I don`t want to live next to English people (despite the fact that I`ve moved to England to live ) No doubt I`ll be accused of being PC - hey ho :rolleyes:

Re: perth from brisbane
 

any more hey ho`s and you be done for upsetting dwarfs :rolleyes:

Re: perth from brisbane
 

Like I said, I didn't really take any notice of the first post UNTIL after Sam commented on it. I was not even speaking about the OP. My comment was in reply to Mrs JFW's post on "WTF was that about", which was posted in reply to "Me, Myself & I"'s aggresive post. I was just stating the fact that, that particular poster is a troll IMO.

I am not in any way defending or supporting the original posters comments.

PMSL (well it was my 999th post :D )

Re: perth from brisbane
 

wow youve just hit your 1000th

did you get a telegram :D

Re: perth from brisbane
 

No worries mate (wasn`t having a go at you)- I was just trying to put across how I`d feel if someone posted they didn`t like living next to Gobbyjocks :D

Re: perth from brisbane
 

No probs.


Now if someone said they didn't want to live near wendyc's I'd quite understand......... :D

Re: perth from brisbane
 

personally i wouldn't want to live next to a family of jocks :rolleyes:
my god can you imagine it
bloody bagpipes
and all that caber and hammer tossing

noooooooooooo waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay :D

Re: perth from brisbane
 

LOL!! Watch I`ll stick the heeed in ye!! :D

Re: perth from brisbane

Re: perth from brisbane
 

I have been reading this website for the past year, and still deliberating whether to take the leap to Oz or not. BUT on the responses that some people give to the threads on this website, I think I would prefer to stay here!

People are asking for genuine advice - take this thread for instance - and there are some inappropriate responses! What is wrong with asking for a community (i.e Asians, non Asians) surely it is personal choice. If you relocate in the UK to another city I would ask the same question! It doesn't make me racist! If an Asian asked for an Asian community would you have given the same response!!!

The more I read this website, the madder I get - give the poor "new comers" a start, you have all relocated to a new life but you still seem bitter and twisted in your comments.

I apologise for my comments to the genuine BE members.

Re: perth from brisbane
 

What the hell was that all about? What did the OP say to warrant that response?

Re: perth from brisbane
 

I was going to say that but didn't want to upset ya :p :D

Re: perth from brisbane
 

:p :D

Re: perth from brisbane
 

I don't know anything about jocks apart from the one I live with, but when we move from here on the MNC does anyone know any good areas of Australia that doesn't contain Australians?......

Re: perth from brisbane
 

Here here :D

Re: perth from brisbane
 

I totally agree, it is hard to get across that you dont want to stay in a predominantly asian, jock! or whatever community without offending someone. I think maybe they just could have worded it better, me personally I didnt take offence, I think I understood what they were trying to say, and really people should help rather than having a go. There I said it, sometimes it's harder to put something into words. :p
