adelaide vers perth ???

10 hours North out of Perth is some of the best rock fishing at Quobba station, then theres Steep Point, and fantastic camping and fishing at Coral Bay etc. It gets better the further north you go


The Southwest is a fantastic coastline with breathtaking views and again, great fishing and camping.

I grew up in Perth and personally some of the best times I had were going north or south for holidays.

Well Perth has it all ... beaches, islands, fishing, surfing, boating, canals, rivers, hills, wineries, country towns, restaurants, pubs, clubs, suburbs, 5 acre farmlets ... all within 10 minutes to a hours drive from anywhere

So it comes down to "What's your life style"??

We can be described as a country town stuck in the middle of nowhere and is suppose to be regarded as a relaxed lifestyle when compared to major cities on the East Coast .... The meaning of WA can be interpreted as Wait Awhile

So what would attract you to be here??

Having lived in Adelaide for 6 years before moving to perth, I can back JC's comments - WA has some unique experiences on offer, however they are not exactly on your door step. You may also find a substaintial price differential for housing. And I'd say the heat in summer is not quite as dry as Adelaide and the winters are slightly warmer.

Arent we already full?????

GREAT BIT OF THE WORLD OVER HERE!!!!

Shhhh.....

Don't tell everyone, they will all want to come.

W.A. is as consertavieley backward as South Australia so if you don't like going out after 9 p.m. at night you are on a winner!!
Although the plus's are: probably the highest concentration of poms next to Sydney ...(now that is worth coming for)
Getting your Landy over the pits is a complete nightmare, but then that may well be improved by going country say Port Headland as the blokes in the test centres in the metro area are complete officious *****s in my experience.

Most of the good beaches are wherever Perth isn't Hamlyn bay down south is a delight.
Margaret river is not bad great winery's so worth a visit.
Geraldton is an excellent place to take the family for a Christmas lunch on the beach and just soak up the local culture.
Denmark is pretty good for a drive out in the summer.
Overall i would recommend Perth to anyone it's just great !!

I am from SA and would not move back.
WA much better landscape, more 4x4 and camping areas etc.

Don't forget Exmouth, Ningaloo and Shark Bay up north. Or the gorges in the Pilbara area. The Jarrah and Karri forests down south. Excellent 4wding all over. The deserts, the Canning stock route. etc.
Great place to live, however I may be biased as I grew up in the Pilbara.

Don't forget the excellent road, rail, bus, ferry network in Perth. Compared to Sydney and Brisbane it's a breeze to get around.
