Without mentioning the beach and my swimming pool, I live within 15 minutes of the following.

Roller Blading centre
Ice rink
Ten Pin Bowling
Sci Tech Centre
Aquarium of Western Australia
Water Park
Cinema
3 shopping centres
Australia's top ranked resort golf course
3 BMX tracks
3 leisure centres with rapids/water slides etc.
2 full size cricket nets
4 public tennis courts
Trampolines & crazy golf
2 Marinas with waterside restaurants/cafes.

.........and national park with lake I walk my dog around.

So to throw in a year round climate that allows me to do most of these things, I'd say that we find Perth far more boring than England.

Nope, in between Joondalup and Hillarys. And some of the things I've mentioned are within a 15 minute walk.

4) The secret of Melbourne is out

And once you've been to them once, tends to be enough.

Us too, us too! Our first choice was Melbourne. We changed our minds so often about the place mainly because of the weather for God's sake (how pathetic is that!) I could kick myself now for coming here. We only came here because the houses were cheaper and we had friends here

If I had my time again we would absolutely go to Melbourne.
