Perth is a great wide spaced lovely lazy city, leafy green, beach sand in your toes, surf, birds, boats - gotta love it.  Careful though - once you get here you won't want to go away again.

Perth will hold your heart.  If they could they drag NZ around the coast and anchor it to Rotto life would be perfect here...

Hello, maybe it would be a good idea if you started a new topic on "Cultural Agenda 2010 - Perth" where all of you could announce news on happenings in Perth?

My life has slowed WAY down since I moved here! I don't work outside the home (but it's a full-time job and then some). I didn't know anyone except for my husband's friends, and as I wasn't going out to work every day it was hard to meet new people. Church helped some, but not a lot. So I started a meetup group for Expat Americans, to have someone to commiserate with, and celebrate my holidays with.

Perth is a gorgeous city, with a laidback lifestyle, but I find a lot of Aussies tend to already have their network of friends- if that makes any sense- so it can be hard to break in, so to speak.

The past few years the music scene has really exploded, with some world class entertainers coming to town. As a previous poster said, there's always something happening.

For me Perth is one of the beautiful place in Australia... People are all nice here they are friendly and accommodating...
