Travel Info Hey guys am moving to perth in 3 weeks .. What is great about perth? Travel Tips Depends on what you like doing - if you're speaking about Perth, Australia. They have a pretty decent pub culture and weekend nightlife. It is as dead as anything during the week though, unless you like hitting the clubs where all the uni students hang out. Theatres are OK, and there's a stand up comedy lounge as well. There are some half decent local bands that play in the pubs over the weekends, so if you like live music then there's always that option. The beach culture is very strong, and all the beaches are all very clean. You're arriving at the right time of year to begin making the most of them because it's Summer soon. Being a city of 1.5 million - or thereabouts - it has all the usual things like drag racing (legal and illegal), speedway, every sport you can play, family events, singles scene, art galleries, museums, movie theatres etc. There is also the Swan River. They do a lot of boat cruises up and down the river. If you like water-skiing then you've come at the right time of year for that too. They're having the Red Bull air race over the Swan River in a few weeks too. They have a theme park called Adventure World. It has some pretty good rides, looping roller coasters, go-karts, and seriously fast water slides. There's a few go-karting places in Perth, both indoor and outdoor, and some super fast karts too. They have indoor and outdoor shooting ranges if you like to play with guns. After a bit of training you can freely play with pistols and shoot holes in things. Dancing lessons are pretty much the rage in the nightclub district of Northbridge at the moment. Just about any type of dancing lesson is available. (There are a few nightclub districts around the city centre, not just Northbridge.) And if you're into gambling, then there's always the Burswood Casino. They have decent acts visit every now and then from interstate and overseas. Be prepared to find things quiet during the week. The shops close at 6pm, except Thursday nights. If you like riding motorbikes, then Perth is a good place for it. There are heaps of days of sunshine during the year, and lots of motorcycle clubs. Basically, the weather is pretty good for most of the year so an outside lifestyle is pretty high on most people's agendas. Service in Perth is pretty crap though. There's a lot of people with their minds on the weekend and hitting the beach, thinking about liesure etc. so don't always expect the top of the range customer care. That's not to say it's like that everywhere, but you will come across it. The way to have a good time is probably to make friends and hang out with them. Knowing local people will always help you keep interested. Hope you enjoy your move, and if you don't, no one will hold it against you. Others Silence.......................... don't know what's great but i wish i was going Perth Scotland or Perth Australia the greatest thing about it is it's a hell of a long way from the dreary drab grey wet dull Perth in Scotland Well that depends on if you are moving to Perth Australia or Perth Scotland, hope it's the former lol its a long way from Sydney, that's good |
