Apologies for the delayed reply - We have never regretted moving here and our kids (28 and 24 who are well travelled) also choose to remain on the West Coast. My Niece whose now 27 came on a working holiday visa originally, - did the rounds and decided to return to WA for her 2nd holiday visa and is still here (now on a partner visa). Transportation is relatively easy, there's loads of opportunities that I can see in hospitality. Perth is the place that seems to divide the forum, my advise is to see for yourself if it's your cup of tea or not, everyone has an opinion on it - even when they've never set foot in the state, and even those of us that live here also seems to love it or hate it lol.
