your thread, just gives me the shit when people whinge
about Perth as its so simple dont like it then leave.

I want to leave but I'm tied to a fiance who wont go simply because her mum lives here :/

And yes it is costing me to much to live here, I've already been planning my move for a while, I've found an area I want to move to and the next time we fly over I'm checking out houses. I'd say realistically it'll take me maybe 2 years to get everything sorted and get over there, I'm hoping not long after our wedding.
The Mrs is starting to agree with me aswell FINALLY

Simple solution Rob, leave her and be with me, win win we leave on the 29th, you must give me a weekly gobby though :P!!!

Booked myself into the Shafston Mansions today for 2 weeks short term, $350 a week with everything so will be good while I settle in, Uni accommodation in Kangaroo Point so hopefully it is alright. If I stay on long term is quite a bit cheaper so see if I like it.

Hopefully Swedish Uni chicks make their way into my room and love me.

You want to go to the pub and your paying $12.50 a carona :S In brissy pubs and clubs a cranking every night and you can get beer for like $3.00 pint its fucking great. I don't understand why everything is so much more expensive in Perth? The same shops sell clothes/etc. for alot more here aswell.
Why is there always this 50%+ markup on everything in Perth!?!? Same as the Casino... theres no tables so you have to que up for ages so instead of making more $5 tables they just raise them $10 tables and make you wait and end up playing less...
Not to mention its a shit casino, its like 1 big room with some games crammed in it.
The only reason I am still here is my fiances family and the fact I just bought a house and its a shit time to sell.
Perth COULD be an awesome place but because a few people want to dictate to everyone else what they can and can't do or have because they don't like it we are stuck with it.
Also the Perth mentallity of "Theres nothing to do so lets get hammered and bash each other" is fucked up... I didn't see one fight in any pub/club either times I've been to bissy and gold coast. Yet your not in a Perth club 5 mins and some dickheads starting on someone for no reason.
And then theres the price of food and shit aswell...
Fuck this is turning into an essay, I could keep going all night :S

you can get steak and chips her for 6 bucks on tuesdays... there is also this thing called "happy hour" where you get cheap drinks... and you can get pints for 4-5 bucks of decent beer at a pile of different pubs during the week.

Clothes are NOT cheaper. The harbour town there is awful[first year it was fantastic], you have to drive a long, long way to get some cheap slave labor clothing[like you do in perth]

Yep.. you're right on the "let's get hammered and bash each other " thing too.. I was walking through brisbane and it was heavenly... two priests discussing eutopia, a homeless guy jumping into his brand new bmw that was kindly donated by one of the moguls from my monopoly set.

Get out and see the world first.. come up with an objective opinion and you'll see how good perth is... muppet.

Will try find a place in Indooroopilly, I found some short term accom in Kangaroo Point which I might stay in until I find a place. Might be better to see what I think when I get there myself.

Labrador is a very nice place.. close to surfers and a nice gateway if you want to head the other way to the hills/theme parks/drive back through to brissy.

Watch out for some of the outter suburbs in brisbane[if you choose to live there].. it's not as comfortable as the balajuras etc here. Lot of very interesting stuff goes on in the day and night.

If you're looking to buy on the other hand, can offer advice later on in regards to growth areas, specific stats, infrastructure, future developments etc.

Good luck mate... it's a terrific place.. but yeh, visit it first and figure out where's best for you to live.

Steak and chips wow. Perth serving, perth mentality "IF we put less serving on the plate it means its more fancy and then charge more". The differance I'm talking is a whole roast meal or steak and vegies on a huge plate with a pint of beer for <$7 you don't need to trek anywhere or pick certain nights its like that every day/night at any RSL.
And if your comparing Perths harbour town to DFO near the brisbane airport you are crazy. It extremely cheaper, I got a set of new everlast runners for half the price I could get them in Perth on SALE.
Its funny that you say to see the world to get an opinion, I have travelled ALOT around the world which is what has given me my views. I travel to Brisbane alot because my family moved there aswell so I have an even better idea because I've been past the first "outer layer" you see of places on a brief holiday.
Haha Muppet, righto buddy, seems like your the one living in a fantasy land, I'd love to visit the Perth you talk about.

Perth is a great place to retire and thats the way some people like it, however I don't.

Not to mention the local government is trying to remove happy hours/shots/glasses/etc.

You obviously are going to the wrong places to eat if you are getting
those small servings.

Secondly your buying your shoes at the wrong place too.

One day you will realise there is more to life than just drinking beer and going to the casino. Plenty of other things to do.

Oh and where do I get these $12.50 Coronas from?

Most expensive Pubs in Perth are the Raffles and The Breakwater, a pint of Becs is $10.50, yeh pretty steep but the most you will pay for a Corona is $7/8. If you don't like it then don't go there are heaps of other pubs in Perth, was at the Whale and Ale a few days ago and was paying $6.90 for a pint.

As for the fights in Brisbane, you are kidding me right? I have seen some massive fights in Brisbane. I was a teenager when I lived there (16 or so years ago) and every teenager would have been carrying a knife. Over here noway near as many kids would.

I lived in Algester mate have a look there or SunnyBank Hills, not to sure how close they are to Indroopilly but they are nice suburbs.
