Only way to find out is to come and see for yourself - you cannot ge tthe real picture from the internet, books, opinions etc. Perth, as well as the rest of Australia, has the same social/crime/wanker problems as any other western country - some better, some worse.
I love it here. We have a great lifestyle, my son goes to a fantastic school and the only crime we have experienced is having a GPS nicked out of a car that we left unlocked.

It's all good.

+1 Perth is Ace!

There are wankers everywhere in the world and WA is no different.

Re: views from people in W A
 

Perth has a high majority of wankers and most are British....

Just a warning to keep the language clean please and no personal insults of any kind. OK.

Re: views from people in W A
 

We live an hour south of Perth - we like it!!
We come from Glasgow, so the crime here is nothing compared to there!

Re: views from people in W A
 

Hmmm only the positive attributes have been mentioned thus far.

Re: views from people in W A
 

:eek: :eek:and what are the negatives

Re: views from people in W A
 

That was tounge in cheek that last comment ;)

To be truthful the only one I can think of is the one that would turn me off permanently.

ISOLATION.

It's bad enough being this far away from the rest of the world living in Melbourne. It would be 100 times worse in far less cosmopolitan and much smaller Perth. However I do understand thats the reason that some people love the place.

perth is where the job is

Re: views from people in W A
 

Hi Depends on what type of work your after.
that might be a problem if you need to get a licence not being able to work most companies won't employ you on a restricted licence.
Oh and the ZZtop look seems to be all the rage:confused:
Sometimes a visit might be advantagous to see whats really going on.

A foot in the door, is worth two in the bush :thumbup:

I could probably handle it for two years.... 5 years would be a bit much for me at least.

Like I said lots of people love the place, so I cant knock it really.
