SPASY

Just reading through the above post and I would have to say you have hit the nail on the head dead on regarding Perth, I lived in Perth and was a FIFO working for 6 years but headed back the UK before job losses really kicked in. I spent 6 years fooling myself that Perth was a great place to be but in reality it was on the whole 6 years of solitary confinement..Occasionally turning up for a gathering at someones house with a few bottles of beer in an eskey... A trip round the wineries, pop down Hilliaries, it got so repetitive. There is just nothing to do Perth was not an easy place to get on even in the boom years, people were always stabbing each other in the back in work, even with years of work experience companies would knock you back for no reason at all while HR assistants got their mates in. From what I hear its still exactly the same atmosphere in jobs if not worse. I miss the weather, some of the beaches and cheap fuel..
