In the mid 80's my friend was transferred from Perth to Melbourne. He sold his 5 bedroom home in an affluent suburb relatively close to the coast 25 km north of Perth. The best house he could afford was a 3 bedroom home in Frankston. 55 km from Melbourne.
I was born and grew up in Perth, then in my early 20's lived for about 7 years on the eastern seaboard, mainly Qld and Vic [4 years in Melbourne]. That said, it's worth noting that I returned to Perth to raise my family. Great place for bringing up kids and wonderful lifestyle.
I from the Philippines and currently living and working in Singapore for 5 years. I'm planning to live and work in Australia in the next 1-2 years. My choice is Perth. Thank you for your comparison and you are very charming in saying the differences between these two states.
You will find the Perth climate comparable to Manila without the typhoons. In Australia, cyclones rarely travel that far south. In my 75 years, only cyclone Alby in 1978 reached Perth and travelled as far as Busselton, 300 kilometres south of Perth. My wife is from Malaysia, and she loves it here.
I moved from New Zealand to New York and then to Perth for 10 years. I absolutely adore that place, Como was the best chillest spot. Now I live in Queensland because Perth got boring after you completely clock it. Whine tours, triple J top 100 pool parties, Cottesloe, Scarbs, stay in EVERY hotel, go to Perth Glory games, exercise at Kings Park, party at the casino and every single night club that ever excited from Rockingham, Fremantle, Joondulup all the way to Ellenbrook and obviously Northbridge. Go to tafe. Boating in Fremantle, Freo Market’s, play football for Subiaco, swim in the wares/lakes the list goes on, Barbagello, Beach clubs, Shop at Booragoon, walk along the river. Fish everywhere, hot yoga and gym classes. It Takes ages to clock but eventually you end up sitting in your car feeling like theres nowhere new to go or nothing new to do.
Melbourne has developed quite well from the dreary industrial city that it was 50 years ago and has changed quite a lot over the decades. But I find it has narrowed itself in to a large city that has become over crowded and heavily influenced by image and tourism as opposed to Perth which is not a tourist city, is not over crowded and all it's facilities are geared towards families. I think Perth more generally is a lot cleaner with considerably less graffiti. What is interesting about Perth's public transport is how the full 140 km length of the city has a central very modern electric rails system with trains in sections travelling at 140km hour. With that most of the suburban bus services feed off railway stations. You didn't mention Penguin Island which for locals, particularly families with young children is more popular than Rottnest Island. Also for locals Margaret River is not nearly as popular as towns around Geographe Bay like Busselton Quindalup and Dunsborough with a large array of facilities and activities for families. Then inland you have Kalgoorlie on the edge of the deep red soils of the outback then north along the coast to the Ningaloo reef known as the coral coast an absolutely beautiful untouched wilderness, all destinations for families. The flip side of that is Victoria everything is green year round and only requiring short drives to enjoy. But if you don't mind long scenic drives the drive around the coast from Perth to Lucky Bay near Esperance is epic and captures some of the most beautiful scenery in Australia. Lucky Bay was recently voted the most beautiful beach in the world and it's not surprising, it's a feast for the eyes to behold. But it's the cultural shift more than anything. Melbourne has everything laid on in the metro area and people tend to rely upon that for entertainment as opposed to the population of Perth which tends to be more adventurous with a strong outdoors in to nature lifestyle.
Perth's culture and fashion is more laid back. Swimming at the beach. Picnics in parks. T shirt shorts and laid back vibe. The entertainment hub in the city is big enough. Congestion not too bad. My advice is just find a nice suburb with a bit of open space and enjoy the feeling. Best to be a few suburbs from the ocean ideally as you have the beach and also the cooling breezes in summer. But along the river is good certainly too and some people prefer that.
WA wins hands down👍🏼❤️🇦🇺 Sun, sand, surf, space, scenery. Overall much cheaper. Lived here for 40 years. It’s absolutely stunning. Awesome video. Keep up the good work 👍🏼
@@julzhunt7790 I've visited Perth and Western Australia twice so I can make a valid comment. Also my sister and her husband lived there for seven years and she has given me her opinions.
Hi there and thanks for the video. Just wanted to add some key points: for moving to Australia or states in Australia more attention is needed beyond the wether and other general factors. I have been in Melbourne for visits and I am living in Perth for almost 2 years now. In fact, its unfair to compare Perth with Melbourne or any metropolitan city in Australia. Perth lacks most of the aspects of a city like the diverse culture, job stability and lifestyle. Very poor CBD almost lacking all aspects of a city centre. Job market is mining based and other sectors are struggling. Employment level in field such as architecture (where I teach) are very low compared to Sydney or Melbourne. Rental is the big surprise to me, you pay the same amount or higher to rent a house or a unit in Perth which is of below average features (design, quality, etc.) whereas you can get a fairly luxury rental in Melbourne with the same amount. Education (higher education) is very much in behind compared to the leading universities in Melbourne. Social life is boring as there isn’t much to do, plus, people seems to be stressed due to the unstable working conditions and the extreme isolation from the rest of the world. Food and grocery are indeed more expensive and with much less quality (especially restaurants). But for me the main points are: unstable job market, extreme isolation, and poor education quality. These points are based on my pure and careful observation which I hope could guide others
Dreadful response. Pathetic. Perth city is used for work and major events only. That is all. It is officially the longest city in the world, with numerous outlying entertainment centres and options. Isolated? Perth is 4 hours closer to the world. The East Coast cities aren't close to each other anyway, and your outside choice is ...New Zealand. We go to Bali or Singapore for a weekend. Perth has the direct flights. Housing costs? Get real.Biilding quality? More bullshit. Cladding vs double brick? Buying cost? You're dreaming, that's weird! Melbourne was a company town. However, 6 of Australia's top 10 companies have transferred their headquarters to Perth, one of the US largest companies has sent their very top management to live in Perth permanently, it is in the same time zone as 40% of the world's money. The average salary in Perth is well above other States. WA earns 56% of Australian export income. Wine? Have you been invited out to eat in Perth recently? Victoria is $170 billion in debt, has killed more of its own people with Covid, It's grey, bleak, cold, with poo brown highlights, easily the ugliest city in Australia now Brisbane has roared ahead of Bleak City. Some facts. Australia doesn't consider Sictoria to be a part of Australia. Sictorians are not considered to be Australian. Go join them.
@@heyguyswhatshappening6210 Depends what you’re looking for, if you have a family and enjoy a outdoor lifestyle, some of the best beaches in the world, the Indian ocean (from memory the temperature is around 23 degrees) clean air, affordable housing, wonderful untouched land, (look up the Spherical bubbles preserved in 3.48 billion-year-old rocks) and more, then Perth is the place for you, if you’re young and want trendy nightlife then go east. On a side note, you can fit the whole of the UK into Western Australia 10 times and yet we only have approximately 2.6M people living here.
As somone who lived many years in Melbourne and done a fair number of work trips to Perth, I have to say Perth wins. in terms out of outdoors/short trip lifestyle. I have to confess thought that I left Melbourne for sunny QLD a decade ago as I found it too gray and gloomy.
I've lived in Perth for 12 years in a nice big house in a really good suburb not too far from Hillarys boat harbour....Perth is a beautiful, clean and safe place but it is a bit boring once you have completed it. The people are a bit backwards compared to the East. If you like the beach and hot weather with a chilled lifestyle then this is the place for you. If you are like me and burn within 5 minutes then you might not enjoy it as much. I'm going to move to Melbourne to get out of the sun and have a bit more entertainment on my doorstep.
Personally I'd recommend is close to Fremantle as you can. Price can vary a huge amount but generally closer to the beach is more expensive and inland is cheaper.
it is, but it depends on boundaries aswell, if u are doing urabn boundaries it is the largest city in Australia, if Greater boundaries then Sydney is still the largest. By Australian definition Sydney is larger, but by global definition Melbourne is larger as most cities around the world use Urban boundaries not greater.@@devastazionetotale
The Rent in Melbourne doesn't look right. I've seen on the news it's much much higher. Just note Melbourne Has a lot more apartments and units than Perth. Unit and apartment living in Perth hasn't taken off. The houses in Perth is bigger than Melbourne. 4bdmx2bth where as Melbourne it's 3x2 or even 2x1.
Live in Central Florida in the US you can buy a median priced house for$330k and rent for a 2 bedroom apartment is 2k a month the weather is quite similar to Brisbane you can grow mango avocados, coconut palms and it has white sandy beaches Gas is $3•02 a gallon Australia sounds expensive.

I would suggest a holiday here before you make any decisions. If you have any questions I’m happy to help.
WRONG! Melbourne is the Cultural, Arts , Sports and Academic capital of Australia. It's coffee-cafe culture is fantastic, as is its food with many restaurants serving a great variety of food from over 200 ethnic cultures. The city is very ethnically diverse and is a buzz, full of life and energy.
If you can’t appreciate how beautiful the weather has been in Melbourne this autumn then you are delusional when it comes to what constitutes good weather
I lived in Melbourne for four years. Speaks volumes that I practically galloped back over the Nullabor to Perth when deciding to bring up kids. Victoria is soon to have more people than NSW, with less room for them and skyrocketing house prices... keep it and welcome to it.
Incorrect information. Melbourne is not on the coast. Instead it wraps around and spreads out from the huge Port Phillip Bay. However, it is not far from coastal beaches, also.
@@kenchristie9214 You are correct but I am referring to the open ocean (Bass Straight coastal beaches) and for people from other countries who do not understand the geography of Victoria and its capital city of Melbourne. Generally we refer to the Melbourne beaches as BAY beaches. Melbourne is certainly NOT on Coast Genius, as you state. I haven't come across that in my map studies.
Having lived in both, Perth has a better quality of life, but Melbourne has a better cost of living. Also, cost of public transport in Perth is more like $200 a month if you use it to commute every day if you use a Smartrider with auto load set up. Add 20% if you use tickets all the time.
Unfortunately, Melbourne has become the lefty woke joke city of Australia governed straight out of the National People's Congress party of China. Can we please excise this city and state from the rest of Australia? I've never been to Melbourne and have no desire to do so I'm more than happy living in Perth.
Melbourne is overrated, too crowded, too expensive, depressing gloomy weather and most people are arrogant! No community vibes and not a laidback city…
As someone who has spent many years lining in Sydney, Melbourne and now Perth, I have to say in this video - Melbourne any day. Sure, Melbourne has long dreary winters, but it wins hands-down for variety, food, dining, fashion, it has hills, beaches, loads of events, and is close to everywhere else. Perth has great beaches, and no toll roads, but it's unbearably hot in summer, is so dry, nothing much in the way of decent hills or forests, and is full of opinionated parochial bogans, plus, it's just so far from anywhere else. Counting my days till I get out of this awful place.

Melbourne is overrated, too crowded, too expensive, depressing gloomy weather and most people are arrogant! No community vibes and not a laidback city…
As someone who has spent many years lining in Sydney, Melbourne and now Perth, I have to say in this video - Melbourne any day. Sure, Melbourne has long dreary winters, but it wins hands-down for variety, food, dining, fashion, it has hills, beaches, loads of events, and is close to everywhere else. Perth has great beaches, and no toll roads, but it's unbearably hot in summer, is so dry, nothing much in the way of decent hills or forests, and is full of opinionated parochial bogans, plus, it's just so far from anywhere else. Counting my days till I get out of this awful place.
not to mention your mountains n hills be burnt to a crisp by summers end again,arson capital also in victoria 🤣🤣🤣
Yes, they named the wind in perth the Fremantle doctor. It's so boring in Perth they get excited about wind.
Can't understand people say Perth weather is nice
The sun is unbearable strong
I just run away when my husband introduce Perth to me
If you like depressing gloomy weather, rat race, no community vibes place then move to melbourne
