I believe PB disliked Perth, yes.
Would he have disliked other parts of Aus though ?
Chalk and cheese across the country.

Still full of dreamers and near do wells who post newspaper clippings to prove the unlucky country is better than the UK , any one who picks fault with Aussies or OZ beware , no quarter will be given.
Having returned to the UK I cannot say I miss Perth , far from it , I travel more , enjoy seeing family and friends also have managed to gain very well paid employment so life is good .
The press paint a bleak picture of the UK , so I shall give my impressions how the UK has changed in the 10 years while I was in exile .
For a start people are more wealthy in general thanks to low unemployment and high house prices also low interest rates, have never seen so many Mercs , BMW's and top of the range motors on the roads in my life.
Having a holiday home abroad is no longer a dream , its very common , the TV channels have grown beyond number so have the Radio stations .
The Indian immigrates have on the whole become very English in dress and outlook ,most new immigrates from Europe are no different to most of those off to OZ .
The weathers very mild in the Midlands, winters are cool but little if any snow or frosts , summers seem warmer now , spring and autumn are full of colour .
People still have a great sense of humour and being English is more to the fore front , St George flags flying every where.
The media which is still mostly owned by some Aussie/Yank , is sinking to new depths by the day , reflects its owners culture very down market, real news is hard to find.
Well in general I cannot compare a cultured country to one with none , Australia still has to find a place in the world , hopefully it will grow to be the place of dreams but that day is far away , shallow country with no new ideas or direction.
