hello! I am planning to go to Perth anytime soon but I don't know anyone there.
I would appreciate it very much if someone could give me some idea where should I stay in Perth.
I am also looking for a room to rent.
Cheers.

Hello abet,

Welcome to Expat.com!

So what's bringing you to Perth?

There are some nice suburbs like Northbridge,Mount Lawley, Maylands, East Perth, West Perth, Subiaco etc which is near the city centre and well connected with the train lines and buses.However, the rentals can be quite high in or near the city!

Else even south of the river is great to live!

It all depends on your purpose of visit and what are you exactly looking for?

Cheers

Mishna

Thank you Mishna for the quick reply.
I am planning to go to Perth and try to get a job in the accounting and finance sector.
I have no idea about Perth and neither do I know anyone there.
I know it sounds a bit odd but I would love to try my luck in Perth even if I go there as a complete stranger.
I simply need to find a room to rent and take it from there, but then it is not that simple, is it.
I am hoping that someone would be kind enough to help me out or give me some advice.
Again thank you for the info.

Cheers.
Abet

Hi abet,

You can go on gumtree and find shared housing, there is plenty.
Morley is a nice suburb with its own shopping complex. There are others too.
