Feel free to travel out to the Swan Valley (15km NE of Perth city) and check out winery's, breweries, Chocolate factories, distilleries, some great restaurants, gelato, coffe roasters etc.
Nice Overview Guys and informative video! I have a friend there in City Beach 🏖️ and my wife and myself are planning a trip there in March 2024! Cheers Mates!
Yep,Freo is a good vibe 😎 Rotto is a must,tho maybe a bit cold for swimming now,but the beaches & bays are beautiful in summer. Don't forget your Quokka selfies 😁 Depends how far you are travelling, but Esperance beaches are the whitest and clearest in Australia ..but it's a 7-hour drive south. Closer is Margaret River, Dunsborough, Busselton, Bunbury & Mandurah....then there's up North.👍
Yep were loving Freo, such a nice spot! Definitely heading to Rottnest, waiting until its not school holidays to avoid the crowds 😅 Thanks for the recommendations, we’ll 100% be checking out those spots!
Haha! A mixture of things really, sometimes we would just pay for a laundrette but if we are on the road then we have a good old fashion bucket to wash and hang things up
@LeeandLoz awesome 👌 I know in Asian countries it's easy for Laundry to do but in Western countries not so many keep up the great work love watching you guy's 😎❤️
The World Surfing Competition Margaret River Event is about to start. It's three and a half hours South, and Accommodation would be hard to get, but judging by your accents, you might not have seen much Big Wave Surfing. Especially with the best in the World going at it. It's not school holidays, and it's an amazing vibe in an absolutely beautiful place. And the Surf might really be on this year.
Wonder if you get any sense of geographical isolation in Perth? I do. In Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane I feel no different to being in London or any European capital, but really sense Perth is second most isolated large city in the world. Perhaps because it is also often less crowded. You also fly over a lot of empty country to get there and there are not many people elsewhere in WA. Darwin is far smaller and I also feel conscious of where I am. PS - the way you both say "bootiful" makes me wonder if you are from or near East Anglia?
When international tourists arrive with limited time it is hard to judge Perth & WA because it is such a large State & the 2nd largest State in the world being 2.64 million sqkm and to judge it properly you need at least 6mths travelling time. As to Perth it is the weather, chilled out lifestyle, clean city, modern housing, amazing coastline and most important not choked with traffic congestion like Sydney & Melbourne making it easy to get around. A great place to raise a family as work/life balance is good as travel time is short I am born and raised in Perth but i am not biased as i do like the QLD gold coast & Cairns for holidaying but i would not like to live ands work there. Melb is good too for holidaying & to watch sport but again i would not like to live & work there. My wife is English from Cornwell and would never go back to the UK as she can't stand the cold weather anymore and idolises our lifestyle here which she calls "gods playground"
Perth city is for work and major entertainment only. Outside, but near the city you have a ton of entertainment centres, Northbridge which is an ...adventure. Leederville, Subiaco Beaufort strip, Victoria Park and the casino area, plus others nearby. It is NOT City centric. There are probably another 10, or even more, areas equivalent to Fremantle, being sub city centres, that's where the entertainment is. Perth is now the longest city in the world, taking over from Sochi. No shortage of beaches and huge parks. Transport and freeways are easy.
That's slowly changing with more and more residential developments within the City of Perth council area. There are about a dozen "activity centres" across the metro area identified by the state government.
@@thevannmann It definitely is the largest metropolitan area in the world. its 3 times larger in size than Tokyo... whilst having 7 times less population.
Looks like most of what I was going to say has already been covered off by others. But I'll add my 20 cents worth anyway. I've lived in Sydney (5 years), Melbourne (14 years), Adelaide (until I was 34) and now Perth (for a total of 12 years) and it's not possible to truly compare them all. They all have very different characteristics. As as has been said by others, Perth (and Adelaide) whilst much smaller than Sydney and Melbourne, still have vibrant nightlife districts with a wide variety of eateries, bars and entertainment but also have many natural attractions. The real Australia is not what you find in the CBDs of any of the cities. It's in the suburbs and towns. If you want to meet the real Australia you need to get out of the cities and travel around. That said, I hope you have a wonderful time exploring.
Curious. Did you google something like “best things to do in Perth”? I always feel travellers miss a lot when they’re here. I would hit up a few locals for suggestions…. When you go to Rottnest, don’t hire a bicycle. Use the bus…. Trust me, and I’m a cyclist!
@@LeeandLoz Not sure how much time you have but Perth Mint, Perth Zoo, Museum/ Art Gallery, Lobster Shack and Pinnacles at Cervantes, Yanchep national Park, Dolphins at Rockingham, ferry fromPerth to Freo…. And the best beach in Perth is Mullalloo, not Cottesloe….
@@thevannmann I wouldn't recommend a bike for a day tripper who wants to go to the west end.... unless it's electric. If you're staying there for a few days or just want to go round the settlement or over to Geordie Bay, no problems.
@@tsubadaikhan6332 no-one is shutting a city down. This city is limited to about 80 floors because the airport is close to the city, advanced countries impose height versus distance regulations. In particular, the airport is on the same line with the city as the 2 main directional prevailing winds. This has been thought out by very intelligent people since flight became a thing. It is actually very convenient, enabling underground rail and easy and rapid transport to the airport, so why move it? There's another massive airport for smaller commercial and private planes around 20km away, I think that's the busiest airport in Australia in terms of take-offs. It's not a difficult concept to understand. The city itself has plenty of space to grow sideways and lengthwise, it's really not a problem.
@@Quinctili So Perth is limited to 80 stories? There are about 30 buildings in the whole World more than 80 stories. So it's probably not a limit the City has to worry about in the immediate future, and makes your comment very strange. I wasn't aware anyone in WA was trying to beat the Burj Khalifa. They must be disappointed with your news.
@@tsubadaikhan6332 I've read some of your other comments, you're a gutless little sniper. You're wasting everyone's time, probably because you don't have friends. Is this your way of initiating a conversation, or are you one of the 5 in 200 people with an antisocial behavioural disorder? Your statement is idiotic. Who mentioned anything about competing with anyone? WHERE was that said or mentioned? Nothing like that was ever mentioned in your attempted, pathetic sarcasm from your unwanted entry into this conversation. Facts were given in relation to a point raised in the vid. Facts don't care for feelings, stupidity, prejudice or bullshit. Do you have a problem? Do you need help? Is there an adult nearby who can help you?
Well considering we already have 4 (150m+) and dozens above 100m, you're already wrong. Plus, many of the southernmost blocks in the CBD don't even have a height limit imposed. Wrong, wrong, wrong.
I am delivering a sermon to you 🙏😊 please read Consistently Pray for forgiveness, guidance in a good (positive) direction, and for help against evil. Pray to be saved from hell (whatever that may be). Pray for your friends and your family too, it only takes a minute or so/less at a time to pray. Do it and your life will slowly get better, or maybe quickly. It probably just depends on you and the kind of person you are/have been. Don't wait until its too late and you have to suffer the consequences of built up bad karma from immoral acts/unrepented sins. Maybe together we can help make the world a better place by changing ourselves for the better, and changing things around us for the better. And addressing/thanking the CREATOR, LORD GOD at the beginning and end of your prayers would be a good idea 😊 Or just be my friend if you don't want to say the prayer 😄 I'm trying to help you get right with the LORD 🙏 Amen. I have worded a short prayer for you to say if you are not sure what words to use, it may not be the best but here it is 😊 '' CREATOR, LORD GOD, Please forgive me and my friends and my family for our immoral acts, please help guide us in a positive direction and please help us against evil. Please save us from Hell and have mercy on our souls. Thank you CREATOR, LORD GOD. Amen. '' Please say this at least once a day for at least a month, do it longer if you want to and can 🙏 You should prostrate yourself if you don't want to do spoken prayer, or do both 🙏🙏🙏😊 Please worship the LORD GOD and not any idol. 🙏 Please put your hands together 🙏 bow your head and say this prayer: "CREATOR, LORD GOD, please know that I worship you and not any idols. Thank you for everything CREATOR, LORD GOD. Amen" Say ' Om Namah Shivaya ' out loud or in your head 108 times, or try to do it 1008 times 😊 try to do it everyday if you want repeat this aloud for as long as you want to, try to do it for like an hour a day or say it in a prayer "Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner" You can also say this prayer once a day or repeat it aloud as many times as you would like to: "Hail Mary, full of grace. The Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou amongst women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death, Amen." Thessalonians 5:16-18 "Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you." Philippians 4:6-7 "Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." "O Blood and Water, which gushed forth from the Heart of Jesus as a fount of mercy for us, I trust in You!" Repeat this aloud at least 3 times or as many as you want, do it everyday if you can I apologize for all the words 😊 I know how it may look
That was back in the 70's/80's era when Sunday sessions were limited hours & buying alcohol was limited as well. The gov't then was trying to curb our drinking consumption but it did not work so it was scrapped. It did make for good Sunday Arvo sessions at the pubs with live bands though as jugs of beer were cheap and the pubs were jam packed
Freo is the place. Easy to walk around and everything you need is there. Except a good footy team.
I have been living in Australia most of my life and I still haven’t visited Perth and it’s surrounds . Hopefully one day ! Lovely video thank you .
Hopefully one day you can visit Louisa! Thanks for your message 😁
Feel free to travel out to the Swan Valley (15km NE of Perth city) and check out winery's, breweries, Chocolate factories, distilleries, some great restaurants, gelato, coffe roasters etc.
Head out the Swan Valley one day , lots to see and do
We’ll try to get over there! Thanks for watching 😊

Thanks guys!!! ❤️
Love Perth…..from a New south Welshman
We’re excited to see more of it!
Push bike is the best way to explore Rotty. I camped there for a week. Loved it.
Oh wow I bet that was amazing! Yeah we cant wait to explore Rotto by bike, waiting for school holidays to be over to head there 😆
Great video 📹 just a burning question how do you about with your laundry when you are travelling 😮😊

If you have time, see the Perth hills, there's more to Perth than just the coast.
Hey Peter, We will definitely try to!
@@LeeandLoz Roleystone and surrounds is lovely, orchards, incredible flowers, kangaroos everywhere. Perth gets rural very quickly.
Perth only has a bit over 2 million inhabitants. Sydney & Melbourne have over 5 million.
Great video👌🏼what are you both doing for work now?
Thanks Sam! We’re off to do FIFO 😊
@@LeeandLoz great stuff👌🏼it would be good to see a video all about FIFO😁

@@LeeandLoz yeh I'm going well 💛
Poms usually don't do well in Perth to much sun for their Lilly white skin :)
Love everyone who rocks up to St Georges Tce at 9am on a Sunday and says Perth is dead lol! Northbridge is what's missing from your visit.
Haha! We did visit briefly after we shot this video, think it would be good for some drinks with friends. Thanks for watching Steve
Many other cities aren't dead even at that time. The reality is Perth Centre is very quiet for a city of 2m+

Perth is too spread out .that's why it feels quiet. The metropolitan area is redicously large for the population of only 2.3 million.
That makes so much sense! Thanks for that
I believe it’s the largest metro area in the world, basically stretches fro Yanchep to Mandurah.

There won't be skyscrapers in the city centre for a long time. The airport is too close, regulations forbid building high.
