It is also the main base for fly-in, fly-out mining workers (often referred to as FIFO workers), who choose to live in Perth and commute to remote mining sites rather than residing there. A short flight away from Bali and with an excellent outdoors and sports culture, it makes sense that overseas workers are flocking to the City of Lights.
