Answer 6

I am a 3rd generation Aussie.  Perth is a wonderful place to live and to bring up children.  I have travelled quite a bit and Perth (home) is just fabulous to come back to.  We have the best beaches, multiculturalism, beautiful weather, restaurants, scenery.... it is just too vast to name everything.  I am not saying either that Perth doesn't have its problems but all cities do but apart from that I feel Perth is just the best. Check out the website and see for yourself.  Hope to see you here one day.  Poppet

*****

Perth is a vibrant and modern city sitting between the cerulean Indian Ocean and the ancient Darling Ranges. It claims to be the sunniest state capital in Australia, though more striking is its isolation from the rest of the country - Perth is over 4400km (2750mi) from Sydney by road.

Unfortunately the city centre's sterile concrete-and-glass skyscrapers dominate a picturesque riverside location. Still, behind the towering edifices hide a handful of 19th-century buildings and facades and some saving-grace patches of greenery.
