I have lived in Perth for 40 years, originally from the UK. Why don't you simply tell viewers that living anywhere in Western Australia is far better than living anywhere in the UK.
Can we discuss about it.. Australia visa granted to me
lucky bastard@@MuhammadUsman-xi2kh
If I have £30k deposit for a $325k max mortgage, where would you recommend moving to in the outer suburbs of Perth?. I have two younger girls and a partner. I need to be near a decent school I don't mind travelling for work or to the beach, I need to be close by shops etc.. any info would be much appreciated 🙏
True

I have lived in Perth my whole life. Something worth mentioning is that the further from the coast you go you will see a significant change in the temperature. I was living on the coast in scarborough and ocean reef for the last 4 years and now live in Guildford. We are coming into summer at the moment and it is between 5-10c hotter in the eastern suburbs than it is on the coast.. even if you drive from Guildford to the ocean in the afternoon youll see the digital temperature notification in your car dropping as you get closer to the ocean. When its hot along the coast the sea breeze brings some respite in the afternoons, when you're living east its just stinking hot all the time so if anyones moving here and doesnt like the heat, stay close to the ocean if you can. Edit: right now at 5pm it is 33.9C in guildford and 25.7C in scarborough at the same time of the day almost 8c temp difference
Interesting
As far as people who've been there and done that, your input is really straight to the point. 5-10°C temp difference is definitely a game changer...
And minus temperatures at night and early in the mornings in the winter time in the inland areas.
Live in Perth and have been here for decades. Pretty accurate description! Well done.
Great video! Thanks for making it! Would definitely love to see your spotlight ideas (mainly NOR 😉) Another one I’d love to watch would be your Top 10 brunch/lunch/dinner restaurants etc!
Just as I hunt down for a youtuber to watch, I see your notif! I’m gonna grab a green tea and watch this on my laptop instead! Haha 💙
Thanks for the info, super helpful and your knowledge having only lived there 2 years is great. Thank you!
Very helpful, useful and informative, indeed. Thanks, Cat!
Hi Cat, enjoying your videos. I’m having an interview in 2 weeks for deployment to Perth after 6 months training in Switzerland first. Currently live in Manchester. Your videos are insightful and helping me imagine life in Perth!
Hi Adrian. Also in Manc (Bramhall) and looking to moving to Perth! Would be good to chat and share tips.
@@1globalmedic Thanks for reaching out. If I am successful with my application, will then continue with discussions with you and let you know my timescales, hopefully similar
@adrianc4140 just letting you know and others that read this that there is still crime that goes on in the suburbs, though I live in Kwinana which is known for having the most drug users in Western Australia, I would still suggest its not a bad place to live because I've had little issues with other people here. Yes young people can be chaos but not all of them. There are churches all over the place in Perth and I highly recommend getting to meet the locals there as it's a great way to talk about what worries you, get good advice and make friends. No one's perfect and yes church goers are people with their own issues, just remember that.
The public transport is very good for a city of its size. Don’t stress about getting close to the city if your work is in the CBD. Driving might do your head in with the highway infrastructure a bit behind other cities in peek times. Just choose a superb on the train line. Very affordable in the outer suburbs, lots of shopping and bars in the suburbs everywhere. Iv lived all over Australia and have been very happy living/raising a family in Baldivis the last 10 years. So many wonderful playgrounds for children. Better than many other cities in Australia.
I might be moving to Perth with my boyfriend next year and I really enjoy your videos, so informative and side note I think you’re so gorgeous !!!!
The median house price in Perth is around $600,000. The industrial areas are Welshpool and Kwinana. If your working in the city then pick an area that has a train station close by don’t drive as the congestion on the freeways is as bad as the Uk at peek times. Most people go the Margaret river area for vacation. You omitted areas that are further south that have excellent infrastructure Waikiki, Safety bay, Baldivis, Mandurah. Travel cost on public transport is very reasonable e.g I can get to the Airport using a bus/Train for $4 or travel from Rockingham to Joondalup for the same amount. The Rockingham area has some of the best beaches in Perth and I can travel to them by car in 5 mins. Pick an area that suits your lifestyle and finances but be aware that rentals can be hard to get and are not cheap.

I would say the Darling range have prevented the sprawl East at least but they’ve been worried about the North/South sprawl for decades and the problems that brings for decades but other than forcing urban dwellers to give up their quarter acre blocks and live crushed together they’ve not stopped the big build. They are addicted to it so Perth has now an area of sprawl larger than LA !
Thank you ever so much for sharing. It is so encouraging to hear such a wealth off knowledge from someone quite new to our wonderful city. So glad you have chosen Perth as you new home. Isn't Fremantle just awesome? Our family is fortunate enough to only about 5km from the Perth CBD. We can get to the City within minutes on a bus. In our neck of the woods [ mount Lawley, Inglewood , Dianella and Bedford] we don't don't have freeways and motor ways cutting the neighbourhood in half. We are so lucky. For those who don't like driving or live a car free lifestyle this neighbourhood is ideal as it is so close to everything however the properties are pricey so units, appartments or town houses could be a more affordable option.
Scarborough used to be a very working class area not too long ago with a transient population so it was a good place to own a rental property. It’s profile and tbh scruffy sea front (that was always about to be upgraded) kept it very affordable. It’s improved a lot over the last fifteen years though.
I thought you've done a really good job describing the northern suburbs, over 60 years living here I thought you nailed it 👍😉
There are 4 zones for Perth, the Northern (tradies and English), Western (multimillionaires), Eastern (working class) and Southern (a mixed bag of demographics).
The river suburbs are all uniquely placed demanding higher prices along it's length. Perth is sandwiched between the ocean to the west and the hills to the east and I believe we are now Mandurah to the south to Two Rocks in the north making Perth the longest city in the world. Be prepared for very congested travel north and south on the Freeways but if you work in the CBD the rail network is tailored to you.
What do you mean when you say Western area is for Multimillionaires and Perth is the longest City in the world?.
Northern and Eastern suburbs are essentially the same
Can you recommend suburbs to buy houses affordable close to beach or city ?
Inner western suburbs if you can afford it.
Swan Valley, new suburbs like Dayton and the Vines are so lucky to have some worlds best wines at their doorstep, even just Perth as a whole are lucky to have the swan valley so close. Still only 25 minutes to the city and Scarborough beach and with a large majority of West Australians working in the Mines it’s close to the airport. Perth has very minimal rough spots.
Lived in Perth most of my life and know all the suburbs well. The motto is live close to the coast and out of the inner city hub unless your an apartment dweller used to noise or your into nature in the hills
Where you live if buying is driven by your budget/price range. The golden triangle you mention is some of the most expensive land in Perth and a magnet for the wealthy.
Have owned a few homes in different suburbs over the years but gravited back to South Duncraig where we love it. Our land as 1,350m2 so very large but very little lawn out the front only so it is low maintenance with Bali style backyard. Many schools nearby & major shopping centres close including Karrinyup, Whitlfords, Warwick & Joondalup. Out local pub is Carine Tavern & Hillarys Marina is close by. Tons of restaraunt choices nearby
In reality anywhere up and down the coastal strip is great.
My wife is English from Cornwell and very well travelled globally but just idolises Perth and adores our climate. She hates the cold now and could not ever live back in the UK. We are outdoors/beach people and our go to places are lancelin & Dunsborough and anywhere in between - 4WD & camping but we like all the WA coast scene and have travelled it extensively including living in Broome for 3yrs
Good effort !!!
Great video, me and my partner are thinking of moving in the next 5 years
Very useful info thanks
Any where near Warwick, Hamersley, Duncraig, Carine etc(north of the river) 14 - 20kms from the city centre are pretty cool. Lots of shopping areas, cinemas,restaurants and cafes and heaps of train stations to take you directly into the City centre for work or entertainment.
Lots of folk want to live near to the coast and this is where Perth has experienced the most urban sprawl (coastal belt). You get the sea breeze in summer which has a cooling effect aside from just wanting to live close to the beach. It gets very hot here in summer!
House prices have gone bonkers here recently with a lack of new stock and the pressure from an uptick in immigration. Expect to make an offer on the day over the asking price although most property on the market just invites offers as the market is moving so fast.
You need a 20% deposit to avoid Lenders Mortgage Insurance (LMI) or a minimum of 5% with LMI. LMI can add thousands to your total cost of purchase (fees).
Perth is an amazing place with arguably the best climate in Australia. Buy into the best suburb you can afford even if it feels a stretch. Perth is still comparatively cheap to the rest of Australia’s cities so house prices will continue to rise as more investors eye up Perth.
I live in Yanchep, moved from Nollamara last year. Yanchep is a beautiful coastal place to live but has always been considered too far from Perth especially if you work in the city which is quite common. The train station will be up and running in 2023 in Yanchep (last stop up north from Perth) and also closer suburbs such as Ellington and Alkimo will have their own train station open in 2023! So I recommend coming up further north. So many new builds under construction!
Cheap suburbs near nothing at all. All houses look the same, and is full of bogans and brits.
Alkimos. !.you’re delusional
I live in south Perth (mill point road) I moved here from the UK in November and absolutely love my location..although Perth in general is a great place
Perth is a very big city space wise and it's very difficult to cover every part of it in a short video with so many new areas popping up. Generally Perth is affordable and you get what you pay for. Like other cities the cheaper place comes with higher crime rate and the houses aren't as nice etc... You did a good job covering the key areas and the Yuppies do live close to night-life and beach-life and families live further away from yuppies. Asian migrants first like to live in apartments as that is what they are use to at their home country and it's perceived as better security until they become custom to Australia way of life and choose to live in the suburbs with more space to grow their own food south of the river.
I've lived in Forrestfield ( Perth Hills) for over 20 years and I love it ... 20 mins from the city, 30 mins to the beach, but right on the front door to hiking trails/ waterfalls, sporting clubs and close to the Swan Valley wine area.
Don’t go near Forrestfield. 😮
The high school wasn't great well my brother didn't like it
Just be aware we have a massive rental property shortage inPerth that is unlikely to ease in the short term. Try to make sure you have somewhere for the first few weeks at least, especially if on a budget.
Thank you!
It is important to mention that atm not easy to find accommodation in Perth.. but South Perth is defo the best place to live.
Perth's rental market is absolutely bonkers at the moment, in some areas,up to 17% rises,insane!.
40 groups attend 111 apartment 15 minutes lease inspection in last year.
thanks for the fair dinkum review :)
How you can miss Victoria Park..Kensington..East Vic.Park...???5 km from the city???700 -thousands $$$ give you great living!!
Just remember if you are renting the market is mental so you may not get the suburb you actually want
Jfyi Swan valley is booming with houses from caversham to Bullsbrook with the wine region close by 😊
I would be grateful of a few videos on areas within the Golden Triangle. I am 40 this month and still single so looking for areas with some life and things to do but defo not clubbing haha those days are long long gone.
Try looking in the Perth Foothills
I suggest you do some Google searches for rental costs in the suburbs you might be interested in living in. That “ golden triangle” area between the city, the river & the coast is most expensive part of the city. Consider, what are your hobbies, interests, favourite pastimes and what is your employer here going to pay you, Net in hand ( not the Gross pay/salary)? Check out the Australian Tax Office for income tax & medicare levy costs that might apply to you. A lot of people here are now paying 35- 50% of their Net Pay in rent or on a mortgage if Single & not house sharing.
When you say “ex-pat” areas, are you referring to British people specifically or More generally? I’m 63 and have lived inPerth since moving there as an eight year old as ten pound poms. We lived in an immigrant area specifically built for the influx. However I’ve also lived for many years in Asia as an “ex-pat” on job contracts but I always felt the difference was that an immigrant is making a permanent move to a country as a life change and ex-pats were moving through their work on a more flexible basis an without officially emigrating. I’m an immigrant but do you consider yourself an immigrant or ex-pat? so I’m just curious to know what your viewers feel the difference is.
I feel she meant that the northern areas of Perth around Joondy are where most people immigrating [from England] settle. Along the coast from Hillarys to Yanchep/Two Rocks. Ex Pats come over on work visas with international companies and they tend to live within 5km radius from the Perth CBD. She had a good overview of the North areas but nothing South [of the river]...But she did mention this divide and it is spoken about by people like myself who have lived here a long time as an Aussie. Often people say that going South you almost need a passport.😆
I lived in a lot of areas in Perth, I loved living in South Perth and Warnbro.

I gonna move to Perth next month can you recommend which suburb that I should live in case that I work in the CBD,
Now I am looking at leederville, west leederville..subiaco
Not sure west perth is quite a good area where it closes to CBD, safe, and easy to find meals, grocery??
All those areas great. Look for places on the free CAT bus route.
West Perth is generally a pretty expensive area,it has major traffic issues on the main route through there,Loftus road,Thomas road. If there is an accident along that route,it can be very very congested and a car park. There are trains to Subiaco,then Buses in the area to get around. Leederville is an older area of the western suburbs, it has a good bar scene,as does Subiaco. Not cheap though,most of Perth isn't .
I’d look around Bayswater, Maylands, or the other side of the river such as Vic Park, Ascot or Belmont.
Best place south of the river is Applecross. Beautiful, but SUPER expensive.
lot of high rise apartment near the coast
Mount Pleasant, Booragoon, Rossmoyne
Thanks for this Cat, I have accepted a job offer in Perth from the UK so going for another 482 visa. This video will help me decide where to live. Aiming for an October 2023 landing as I have to do 3 months notice for my UK job and dare not resign before getting the 482 work visa approved.
Is it not a 457 visa?
@@krismorrice1870 I think that was the old code from a few years ago
You should be aware that availability of tental accomodation is very tight and depending on where your job is or wish to live expect yo compete agsinst up to 20-40 competing rental applicsnts & Tents from about $450 to $750 a werk, average about $500 - &600 ( for a house, flats a bit cheaper or ssme depending on size/age/location).
You really need to do some geography and history. Willeton, Booragoon and Palmyra (pronounced as it is spelled) are many, many kilometres from the Canning, Canning Vale, Gosnells and Cockburn areas. Fremantle is the anchor suburb, and roads going to most places spoke off and radiate out from Fremantle as a hub, and you can easily walk from both Willeton and Palmyra into Fremantle. Booragoon is a huge suburb overlooking the Swan River and has one of the largest shopping centres in the state. Fiona Stanley Hospital is located adjacent to Murdoch University of South Street and an easy walk from Winthrop (over Leach Highway from Booragoon). Fremantle is shaped by its history. Palmyra is shaped by the influence of the Swan River. Willeton is shaped by its history as a Housing Commission suburb. Most of the suburbs around Perth have a definite cultural feel to them. The river is a phantom divide. A more tangible mental map is the spoke and hub one where Fremantle is the hub and the spokes are the main road and rail networks that feed from it.
Willetton and Canning Vale are literally next to each other you peanut.
Churchlands the best suburb in perth. 1.5M - 3M should get a decent home very close to cbd, good schools, restaurants,zero chrimes etc.
Cat mentions Perth hills area far from the city and ocean....... driving a car you can get from the east side of Kalamunda or Darlington to the beach (Cotts or Scarbs) in 30 -45 minutes or less depending on where you are in the hills area......The city in 30 mins and the airport in 15 minutes or less......thats not bad considering ....lots of other cities around Australia and the world that are much longer trips to get to the beach or city.....so big land, less congestion and great schools....the Perth hills area isn't just for people to retire, its great for families with kids where there is plenty of land as mentioned, less crime, massive homes that makes much more sense than living in boxes built on a postage stamp that has you 15 minutes to the beach. Also easy to go to the north side or south of Perth and beyond from the hills area.
Also the crime map link you put up is from 2011 date which is 12 years ago. Perth's population has increased almost 700,000 since then. I'd wager that Northern suburbs are going up in crime as the population increases.
Ooh inner city like Mt Lawley, Leederville, Subiaco, Mt Hawthorn not bad, Sth Perth, Freo for grungy cool, if money was no object Cottesloe, Nedlands for a nice mid century family home.... so many cool burbs...that I probably couldn't afford if I chose to live in WA and not just visit family. 🤣
I am thinking of moving to Western Australia with my family. We would like to live coastal near the beach with affordable housing.
What is Golden Bay like? Or Rockingham? Thanks for the help in advance
Rockingham is excellent if your work is located locally, should you have to drive north for work the traffic can be horrendous. There is of course the train if work is close to the network
Good luck finding something "affordable" in a decent area anywhere in Perth. Prices have risen insanely in the last few years. We're in Iluka 35km from the cbd. Even the most modest of family homes are now well over $1 million. Finding a rental is almost impossible.
i just come and stay perth 2 years, great and beatutiful place indeed. will be great if you can do the similar for brisbance.
Scarborough is heavily built out with Apartments
Since you guys are a young couple and may be with a couple of children later, the best places for you would be Leederville or West Leederville or may be Mt Hawthorn or North Perth. I recommend you check them out.
Spearwood,Coogee,Kardinya,Fremantle, Lancelin
Lancelin!?! Blimey we used to go all the way up their for holidays when I was a kid! 😂
Still can. A bit far for commuting to work in the city, particularly considering fuel prices…
Perth seems the N1 city in australia: perfect climate, beach near and swimmable (?) during the summer, strong economy, cost of living non that much high compared to 21 ausd / h... Whats the scam so? Seems too perfect to be true (im italian, just chilling and looking for oz in the future after getting Msc in economics)...
In my zone houses are 3000 euros / mq2 / 500 to a singole room with 1500 of income LOL
So true! Check out the videos I did on my channel last month, I spoke about some of the reasons Perth isn’t so good! (And another one about why it is great). But all in all, I love it here
When you talk about rent in Europe, you need to mention that it is per month, in Australia it is always assumed per week...
we are thinking about secret harbour or golden bay. hope those areas are fine )
They are amazing for beaches.
Secret Harbour and Golden Bay are great places to live, and being south of the river, it’s a easy drive to the beauty of the South West.
They are
The problem with the Northern suburbs is that there is nothing there. Very few facilities compared to the South.
Also there are only 3 or 4 parallel roads that carry traffic North, West Coast Hwy, Marmion St, Wanneroo rd & the “ unfreeway at peak times” Freeway to all the Northern suburbs and many of the Northern closer in suburbs from Wrmblry across to Joondanna, Subiaco, Leederville, Mt Hawthorn West & North Perth, Mt Lawley become jammed with traffic held up at frequent sets of traffic lights as cars try to access any of those 4 Northern routes at busy times. Southern suburbs have more options to get you to where you want to go generally, with less traffic congestion. I suggest people study the road layouts & they will see that many northern suburbs have residential plans which force traffic on to a series of east/west roads in addition to the north/south already mentioned which ensures lots of traffic on almost every road that is non residential & so therefore relatively very little traffic on the residential streets. Maybe a good thing, but it’s a pain driving those Northern suburbs quite often.
Then Perth will expand towards the south.
I’ve been looking at moving to Perth. I’m an Aussie citizen living in Sydney. Is it hard to move? I have good work experience and currently work as a senior analyst for a large organisation
Loads of jobs here.... not as many rental properties... great place to live and buying a house still very affordable.
Iam planning to migrate from Nepal ! ❤
Do you have a house or unit to sell in Sydney. What type of “Analyst” are you? That’s s very vague occupational description. Rental vacancies in Perth are 1.9% tight. Perth will be cheaper than Sydney to buy & easier to get around.
The best place to live in Perth is Albany.
Perth's best asset is the Airport so you can see the place at 10,000 feet as you migrate to somewhere worth living in.
Make sure you avoid a decentralised sprawl of cloned boxes with no street trees and massive air con bills.
A place of shopping malls built as tax dodges by monopolistic developers.
Perth is hot, polluted, conforming , harassed by Bogans, on road off road dirt bikes, 4wd bullies, both FIFO males and Moms, , and high meth addiction.
Have to agree that Perth has outgrown its natural resources. Housing developments over the last decade produced outrageously overpriced “ big little blocks “ of 350 - 400 sqM with boundary to boundary heat sinking black /grey roofed , eveless, energy slurping airconned boxes in treeless suburban deserts.
The inner city “ infill program” of triplex housing on to previously green , treed backyards has exacerbated this also. Behind my home right now.. there are 5 teeny parapet walled “ homes” being built on an 800 sqM block ( opposite 4 directly opposite), with driveways opening directly to a intersuburban through road, adjacent to a roundabout… 9 driveways ! Not a single leafy green thing can be planted for shading purposes. Perth should never have been permitted to grow beyond a sustainable population of about 1.2 million…or beyond available water resources (easily predictable from Metro Water Corp studies & surveys done in the mid 1970’s… sitting in their Departmental Library for anyone to rrad/consult ad I did in 1977!

I just want to give you some feedback and tips for your channel. Take it with a grain of salt.
First, if you’re trying to attract a new audience, your intro is too long and the pause after your intro is too long. Try and cut each sentence down to around 10 seconds. (So 10 seconds for each ‘cut’) There’s heaps more, but just start with those and I think you’ll find your 30 second fall off (retention) will benefit. (I have another youtube channel, I do the same thing)
Again, take it or leave it, it’s up to you.

Do you think Perth is a suitable city for illegal immigrant looking for cash job?
No
@@RyanLye1975 Do you have any recommendations Sir?
@@hassanidakhi if you ARE illegal, stay away. You WILL be detained in a remote area of AUSTRALIA. Then finally, deported, AT YOUR COST.
The south has a different vibe to it. The north is very characterless once you get about 4 or 5Kms north of the city. Joondalup and places around are like Milton Keynes on steroids. And the distances are huge. Joondalup to the city is 30kms.
And it is expensive. Saying Leeming in the south is affordable is comparatively. A family house in Leeming is still $850k to $1.2m. But you do get a house and garden and likely a pool too.
“Milton Keynes on steroids” - great way to describe it!!
“Milton Keynes on steroids” is a bit harsh! Joondalup is just new suburbia. British immigrants seem to like new builds and the Ramsay street aesthetic after many generations living in extremely old houses or council flats. It used to be cheap in the early 2000s.
I’ve got some sentimental memories of the area. It used to amuse me that ECU was painted these bold primary colours like a kindergarten. I loved how there were kangaroos on campus. But suppose now Joondalup is quite built up those kangaroos have hopped away and the University has a monochromatic colour scheme.
I like Leeming too but let’s face it, it’s mostly built during the 70’s-80’s and can look like Lego-land as well.
That area is for good people with school-aged kids as the public schools are well-resourced (at least they used to be). There was a fantastic dim sum restaurant on Farrington Road that was quite fond of.
@@masmuu5732 Joondalup is where planning went to die. It's awful, car dependent, characterless sprawl. Can't stand it.
@@danellis-jones1591 even the kangaroos don’t like it …
@@masmuu5732 Joondalup is the southern centre of sprawling suburbia North. Alkimos is probably 15kms north of Joondalup.
I love the old Victorian houses and the interesting small roads in Britain. And actually I've always wanted to live in mainland Europe, because I prefer the culture there than the UK, and you couldn't pay me enough to ever live in the US. Yet here I am in American-style suburbia!
I've lived & rented (until 2013) in various Perth suburbs- Leederville, Wembley, Innaloo, Balga, Sorrento, Hillarys, & now Jindalee. I'm NOT moving again! When I first moved to Perth (1988) there weren't many people here, & finding a rental was similar to going to the supermarket to get something, & there wasn't much crime. And NOW? Just the opposite.
Perth is not smack bang in the middle of the west coast
guildford is NOT as it sounds. it has a silent D
Then it is definitely as it sounds, not as it is spelled..
Perthetic.

East coast place to be nothing on the West coast , those that disagree have never left that state to see what's on the other side oooh the dark side lol.
Perth is situated in a seismic active zone.
It is prone to earthquakes.
Don't forget the snakes in Australia.
Could you be mistaken with Adelaide?
Last big earthquake near Perth was surely in the 1960’s and was located 100km away close to Meckering
melville and cockburn area are the best, near freo the beach/river and not to far from the city. ps north of the river is for losers ;)

These are the worst areas in my opinion. Everything else is okay.
West is nice, eastern suburbs are bad. Until you get to the hills it gets nice again, it’s weird. I live in Bassendean and it’s a good spot.
Agreed, Bassendean, Guilford and even Bayswater to an extent are nice areas east of the city, exceptions to the rule.
Bassendean is in the surrounds of Midland isn’t it?
Just rattle off a bunch of suburbs you have no idea about.
@@brentseano344 he's pretty spot on actually..just forgot gosnels and maddington 🤣
@@ACDZ123 have you actually lived in any of those suburbs though?
That was the worst video about Perth suburbs I have ever watched
You only spoke about 5 suburb's south of the river
You should hope in your car and come for a look there are some gems along the coast that don't cost a fortune
shes a pom , what do you expect? joondalup , butler or any other pommy enclave that likes to think theyre better than aussies . the real laugh is that their kids will be aussies and have to put up with that pommy attitude shite
oh no with videos like this there will be even more than the current (nearly) 2m poms here...yes we need immigrants but not such a massive proportion from a single mid sized country on the other side of the planet, even regardless of those white-anglo colonial ties.
Mandurah horrible, crime crime crime
The trouble there had always been high youth unemployment.
I loved when the sign on approach into Mandurah read Popn: 1,000, 2,000, 5,000….. after that … got a bit busy and they hacked canals out of the farmland across from the originsl town bridge, built a mall, got rid of the beachfront caravan parks, & eventually bloody build more canals on Internationally significant RAMSAR wetlands! 😡
23 mins in and you still haven’t got to the point of the video. Terrible! Switched off.
Welcome to my husbands life 😂 I never profess to be concise. Thanks for watching!
@@CatLScully that made me smile. Credit to you for that 😊
I lived at east perth high-rise apartment with whole swan river view is super convenient and enjoy cycling or jogging all the way to nice casino guys !!! 👍🍺👍
but crime rate is top 3 high
Scarborough pool is a joke. It's right on the beach and idiots prefer to pay to swim in chemicals instead of the ocean.
Hi, Cat! Hope you're well! Really enjoy your videos by the way!
I wondered if you could advise me on the state of the rental market in Perth's surrounding areas currently? Areas such as Joondalup. I am in process of obtaining a visa for myself and my family and we are looking to be on the outskirts of Perth, happy to live 45 mins to an hour away but have heard negative stuff about the availability of rentals but our agents assures me if we are happy to be on outskirts, we will be fine.
Hope you don't mind me asking
Thanks
I can’t answer specifically but generally renting in Perth is a nightmare even now, stocks are very low & prices are high.
