Question

If you will be immigrating to Australia, which place would you prefer: Perth or Brisbane? and Why?

Answer 1

They didn't ask about Melbourne.

I would probably choose Perth mostly on the basis that I don't like the hot weather. Brisbane is warm all year round and hot in summer. Brisbane however is alot closer to the rest of the country and not so 'isolated'.

Answer 2

if your old country are from eourope or middle east then perth is the place because if you want to go back to your motherland for a holiday then iots close by.but if you are migrating from asia or south east asia then its brissie so it will be close if you wants to go back  home for a holidays.

Answer 3

Brisbane because your in between the Gold Coast and the Sunshine Coast to go on your holidays and both places are top spots for holidays and it only takes an hour to get to either one of them by car.

Answer 4

Hi,

Let me state the similarities between Brisbane and Perth followed by the best things about each cities then you can decide which city suits more to your lifestyle :-)

Brisbane and Perth are 5.5 hrs flight away and you have to transit in another Australian city (i.e. Sydney, Mlebourne or Adelaide) to get to each other

Both Brisbane and Perth:

- Have a very nice all year round weather (tropical therefore warm)

- Similar size of cities and very cosmopolitan and not as big as Sydney/melbourne

- Have nice beaches - long coastal white sand beaches

- House prices are similar (they're all in the rise)

Brisbane

- located on the east coast of Australia in a state called Queensland

- A lot more tourist visiting the states and the city because of the beach holidays.

- It has the holiday feeling/beach feeling

- Lots of retirees move to this city (retirees from the east coast cities of Australia such as Sydney, Melbourne)

- Closer towards other Australian cities such as Sydney (approx  1 hr flight), Canberra (1.5 hrs flight) and Melbourne (approx 2 hrs flight)

- Both multicultural cities

Perth:

- Located on the west coast of Australia in a state called Western Australia

- The nearest major capital Australia city is 3.5-4 hrs flight away called Adelaide

- Lots of family live here and they have better schools (highschool and universities)

- Closer towards Asia (approx 6 hrs flight away)

- People who moves to Perth tend to work in the mining. Western Australian state is rich of natural resources and mining.

- Western Australia has better suburbs as well (due to the family living style)

- There's a possibility to get a bargain house in suburban perth (you prob score a bargain apartment in Brisbane).

So depending on the job opportunities of my profession, whether I wanna live like a retire or consider my family life to be more important, these may influence the way I choose between Perth and Brisbane.

Good luck :-). You'll love immigrating to Australia :-)

Answer 5

Neither...  Melbourne is by far the best place to live in Australia....  sure holiday in Brisbane..(and possibly Perth).. but "live" in Melbourne...  you'll never find another place on this planet whish is more focussed on living and living well and comfortably.. than you will in Melbourne...

..(and I'm saying that as someone born, raised and who lived most of my life to date in Sydney... but had also lived for a time (for work reasons) in both Perth and Brisbane...)

Answer 6

Personally i would choose Brisbane, mainly because I have family there. I have heard (not sure how true) its more expensive to fly to Perth from NZ?? sounds strange, but I know a few people in Perth too, good money over there in the mines etc..different lifestyles I guess, depends on what youre after..good luck, both sound like great places!
