What's daily life like in Perth?

Question

Perth intrigues me as it's a modern First World City that is very isolated. What is it like to live there? Is it hicksville or have local groups and businesses risen to the challenge of entertaining and supplying the locals?

Answer 1

I love Perth! It may have a laid-back lifestyle compared to other, much bigger cities, but there's definitely evidence of a rapidly growing economy. However isolated it might actually be, it definitely doesn't feel that way when you live there. In fact, I don't think I ever want to leave the sunniness and friendliness that is Perth.

Answer 2

Its not as boring as I thought, according to Australians I have spoken to. But its definitely not like Sydney.

Answer 3

i love it!  :)

beach at your doorstep,

very friendly locals,

sunniest capital city in the world,

i have lived here my whole life and never felt isolated or bored, you have everything you need plus more. we are only isolated is you compare as to the other capital cities in Australia. Perth is closer to Jakarta than it is to Sydney, but that's why so many people love it and you would never notice how far away we were untill you looked at a map. so much to see and do, with a 12,000 km coast line. I'm glad our little clean city is not well know or famous but it is now the fastest growing city in Australia - now that's got to mean something.

Answer 4

It's not boring but it's not one of the most exciting places either.

Daily life is pretty cruisy, we have pretty good weather (usually sunny) I've also herd from people in Melbs, Syd that we are are a very clean and friendly place oh and our trading hours are very different to over east, most shops are open from 9am til 5pm except Thursday which is late night shopping and also nothing is open on a Sunday.

But I wouldn't want to be from anywhere else. :)

Answer 5
