Re: Is Perth really that dangerous?
Try here, Natsind. It's a daily train service from Perth to Bunbury/Australind area. You may have to stay overnight in Perth when you arrive in order to catch the train, but it's probably better than trying to rent a car and drive it after a long flight.

The Westrail one stopped running and I think it was taken over by the gov't. However, I'm not so sure it's what Natsind is looking for. Reading back he was talking about Albany and Australind. If it's really Albany then the train doesn't go there. He'll have to take a look at the Greyhound site instead.

I think that there are two coaches to Albany a day,one going the faster Albany Highway route,other longer connects all the small towns via Northam to York,Brookton,Katanning,Wagin etc.
This was the situation around the turn of the decade anyway when did a few trips south by bus.

Re: Is Perth really that dangerous?
You won't travel down there during the day either, as there is no public transport whatsoever to that area from Perth. The only way is to hire a car or get a taxi, but I doubt you'd get a taxi to take you down there from Perth either. As for connecting flights, you've obviously not done your homework on WA.
well apart from taking trains already mentioned between Bunbury and Perth, you can catch several buses from Busselton Albert Street Bus depot to Perth and back, not forgetting Bunbury or Busselton airports where you can catch a flight to Perth 
.
