Guest The Ropey HOFF Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 I guess that depends on which state you live in? Here in Perth, which is the subject of the thread, the coast is not far away tbh! Youv'e caught em out again gal, the so called Perth experts who have never been there, but they still have an opinion, opposite to everyone else's though, lol.

Bobj Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 Thoroughly enjoyed my times (2) in Perth; first time, in 1963/4 Lake Mongrel (as we called it), was at the end of our street in West Leederville. The 2nd time was in East Vic Park, right on the @#@$^%!^ Albany Hwy... Imagine, if you will, I Kununurra 1971, 2 cars an hour at midnight going past our house and in E Vic Park, 113 vehicles in half an hour...:arghh: Cheers, Bobj.

sickasachip Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 I have never been to Perth and like many plan on moving after graduation without a validation trip (as a family of 6 funds do not permit 2 lots of flights) But it is nice reading this thread as I will spend the next 3 years reading people's views and opinions; good or bad. What I think influences people's decisions is unrealistic expectations! We obviously cannot really imagine how we will feel until we get there but we do not have rose tinted glasses. We have our hearts set on Carramar and the way we see it is, we do not have much material wise in the UK so at least in Oz we will be moving with the same but will have sunshine Anything else is a bonus and it is down to us both to work hard for anything we have over there. But what we leave with will be invaluable; each other, a lot of love and determination to make it work.....I do not like flying so once we are there that is it lol! Just my input Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just my input Perth does get a fair bit of bad press tbh! What we have to remember is that lots of people love it but don't post on here lol! It's not utopia by a long chalk but were happy here so I can shout about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love Perth and always will! I guess we have learnt to accept that? I just needed to praise Perth? We live here and so we are able to speak about it. I don't mind the doom and gloomers tbh. If it gets too bad ill ask the mods to close the thread. Thanks for your support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ali Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 Lots of negative posts about Perth! But for those of us that live here,and are happy to stay here, can we have some positive posts for those coming here! We love Perth! We love the laid back lifestyle, the weather, the beaches, the cafes, the parks, our friends, work, camping, food, bbqs. Just a reminder of the OP and title of the thread 'how much do you love Perth'? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest The Ropey HOFF Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 The views from Kings park of the Swan river and the city will live with me forever, they were breathtaking. Perth is a stunningly beautiful place, I loved it there and those of you who live there, sure are lucky ..... I hope you realise that, lol.

Red Rose Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 The impression I get from this forum is that if you're a young family; middle aged with kids; retiring; a tradie; and come from North England, Perth will seem like the bees knees to you. However, if you're young; single; are a banker, accountant or lawyer; like to travel; and come from a big city like London, you will hate Perth.
