I've never know such a dead place at night - especially in the beastly burbs!!
Went for a meal at Christmas to Portofinos with some friends that were over from the UK. Finished the meal at about 9.30 and thought we'd go to the Breakwater Tavern for a drink - maybe not, it was closing because there was nobody in there!!!!
What a great social scene there is to be found in Perth!!

My job in uk pays 4 times the oz rate so maybe go to bali and meet my son there. Age could also be a factor when migrating eh. I am 46 now, maybe adjusting would be easier 30 years ago.
