Thinking of moving to perth oz what is crime like there? |
Travel Info i live in england now and crime is getting to bad need to move my kids out of here Travel Tips LMAO! youre living in england and youre worried about crime in West OZ!!!!!!! (or Oz at all for that matter) hun thats like an Amercian worried about finding fruit at KFC.......its not gunna happen!!!!!! West Oz is a booming state, mountains of work in the mines and construction, excellent wages and very cheap housing, the city of perth is spotless and the people are great! Others i lived there for a year and petty crime is pretty low but they have more serious crime. don't expect a eutopia. its not much different to UK Well, believe it or not, an American is about to tell you all there is to know about Australia. (not all, but enough to help you here) Perth is a bustling (and expanding) city. I personally found Freemantle sluggish and uninteresting. (the little town directly next to Perth). Perth itself was a pleasant city. The people were alright from the encounters I had. Do you have some element directing you to Perth only? Or can you pick and choose any place in Australia you wish? Perth would be my choice if you're looking for a progressive metropolis that isn't overcrowded like Sydney. However...if I was moving to Australia...I would buy a place in Hobart, Tasmania. It's a perfectly sleepy little town on the southern end of that heart-shaped island to the south of the "mainland" as they call it. It's perfect for kids with just enough development to keep you from getting bored. Good luck. Just know that rape laws aren't exactly helpful towards women in Perth. I spoke with a woman I became aquainted with while there about it. She herself had been raped but the case against her agressor was dropped due to her personal choice in clothing. The judge felt she provoked the attack. Just something you won't find in the travel brochures. Been to Perth several times (I live IN South Aust.) and a very nice city> Crime rates are low, good paying jobs r easy to get, (mining industry in particular, but not in Perth itself.) Housing is cheap by English standards, the weather is pretty good and the life style is very good. Beaches r as good as any and some of the scenery is outstanding. The downside, in my opinion is that in Western Australia, once u leave Perth and the coast there is not much else. Small towns of 2 to 3 thousand people all 100 miles apart, Traffic is easy but too many one way streets. U could do worse! There is no crime here in Australia at all. We do not have any poor people either. I think some-one stole an apple from Mrs Macquarie's garden once but the locals killed him and threw him to the Kangaroos. Apart from that there is nothing to worry about.... Oh just don't venture out on your own in Queensland. Its well known that we kill all tourists so make sure you wear a hat with corks on it and finish each sentence like you are asking a question...... Good luck x Good luck with your move. |
