Emille Posted April 29, 2011 Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 Best things about PerthIts at the coastFriendly, down-to-earth peopleIt’s got a Mediterranean climate (vaguely) similar to Cape TownIt’s a ‘manageable city’ - can get around quite quickly and traffic is not too badIt’s closer and more accessible to South Africa It’s the Aussie city most like South Africa / South African cities (the good not the bad)It’s got everything you need - but in smaller 'doses' than Sydney, Brisbane & MelbourneIt’s close to Southeast Asian citiesHouses are more affordable than some Aus citiesOne of the most liveable cities in the worldWorst things about PerthIt’s dry and very hot (and one will probably look 80 when you’re 60)It’s far from other Aussie citiesSome neighbourhoods/areas are real ugly and boring Highest burglary rate in Aus and can have some rough charactersMost expensive coffee in AusGenerally not as green with less trees than other Aussie citiesNot a ‘world city’ in the true sense of the word(Arguably) the most conservative South Africans move to Perth compared to other Aus capitals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jitterbug Posted May 2, 2011 Report Share Posted May 2, 2011 yes i would not call them worst things. More like minor nuisances Not sure about the burglary rate, if you do a Google search Melbourne comes tops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
