PERTH VS BRISBANE AUSTRALIA: Lifestyle Comparison

PERTH VS BRISBANE AUSTRALIA: Lifestyle Comparison
Automobile business and reallestate business which city is better.
A friend of ours was born in Perth, and he'll never go back there, he now resides in Adelaide, he has stated that he will never go back to Perth, he likes Adelaide's live music and sports culture, he has also said if he was to move to a city in another state he'd move to Melbourne, he finds Perth boring.
I put in my email for the city comparison chart, but I didn't receive it? - can you help please? :) - also clicking on some of the city vs city links on your site it takes me to a page not found, just FYI.
Adelaide Summer. Several nights of over 30c (86f) at MIDNIGHT!!! Adelaide gets dry hot wind from the North.. Easier to cool down in dry hot than humid hot. Melbourne is known to have "4 seasons in one day".. Born in Radelaide, spent 7 years in Melbz, back home and happy..
This is now quite out of date for Perth. Population in Perth is now near 2.5 million. By the time of the 2032 Olympics Perth’s population will have surpassed that of Brisbane at the current rate. The amount of cars in Perth with Victorian rego plates is astonishing. Never seen anything like it. One amazing thing about Perth and Western Australia is our wildlife, our beautiful Quokkas and Black Swans.
Queensland…Australia’s Florida.
Brisbane has one big downfall…humidity.
AWSOME !! moving to sydney from auckland in a month! SUPER Helpful and intelligent all the best !
Perth vibe is more of a town than city which I find quite nice. It's very laidback as well. I've never been to Brisbane so I can't compare.
I'm from lower Hunter NSW. My best weighted choice ATM is Adelaide due to CSIRO / Flinders Uni, better scrap/ junkyards and more sparse population and servos.
Perth has the best Muay Thai Gym in Aus 🥊👍
hello! nice video!! I got this question Registration Is the applicant from a country where they are required to submit a registration before applying? how to answer this? I couldnt find where to get a Registration number if I need it. THANK YOU!
Thanks for sharing many useful videos, but I'm living in Sydney so decided to move to Brisbane or Perth I'm a tiler wich city is better for a tiler to get more opportunities for tiler ?
❤❤❤❤❤😊
I am in Adelaide enjoying every moment
Looking into doing local house sitting as a summer job before my first year of college. I'm mostly writing this comment to get my ideas in order, but if anyone notices something glaringly wrong please lmk. I'm thinking $14/hr without pets and $16/hr with, and offering garden/yard maintenance and basic cleaning (laundry, dishes, cleaning bedsheets, basic tidying-up, etc) as being included in the deal. It'd be a case by case basis, but other stuff may cost more. I'd offer 24hr sitting and custom hours. I'd also offer -$20/day if food is provided for lunch and supper (I'd bring my own snacks and I don't eat a lot) but only for jobs where I would be there for more than 6 hours in the afternoon. No children. But yeah. That's about it.
Oh oh oh What I will require of the homeowner! A list of what needs to be done everyday for the entire stay. A detailed explanation of what each pet needs, their personalities and boundaries, their quirks. Also a list of do's and don't's while I am house sitting.
Perth has the Fremantle Doctor - can't beat that!
Thanks for your upload, some good suggestions there. MOst of our sits have been great BUT theres been horrors as well. One last October has a wildfire rip through their 45 hectare property and the owner was absolutely useless.
Property prices in perth have changed drastically since this video was made. Median is now in the mid 700s (June 2024)
I would choose Adelaide over Perth.
Why?
I'm from Melbourne and I've been to both Adelaide and Perth, I found Adelaide to be more friendly, more laid back, better public transport, Perth is just a "wanna be" city, just want to be better than any other city, if I moved to another city I'd choose Adelaide, Perth is too far away from the other capital cities.
@@sandrafowler6717 Interesting, we are trying to make this decision now where to move in Australia from London. Perth is high up there because it's a 17 hours direct flight to London, great beaches near residential areas (unlike say Brisbane), climate is hot but not humid, loads of sunny days, not too many rainy days, great infrastructure for drivers and not congested, low crime, more affordable than other cities closer to fly to places like Bali and it seems very pretty there. The biggest downside with Adelaide is you pretty much have to go via Perth or Sydney/Brisbane to go anywhere, salaries are lower and from my limited research it seems a bit boring, less concerts, less culture, less nice cafes/restaurants, etc.
Like living in brissy currently very unhappy living in auckland but coming back one way.
More women in Queensland
Nice
Really informative. Both cities are super cool, tough call!
Thanks alot actually im living in Sydney so i decided to move in Brisbane or pirth for a tiler wich city has alot opportunities if iask u wich city you recommended for me ?
Great insight into the Sydney metro area. I live in a great suburb Killarney Heights. 7km from Dee Why. 4 km to Chatswood train station and 30 min bus trip to City. Residential housing throughout and very pleasant lifestyle.
Perth better than Adelaide
I'm born and bred Adelaidean and love it, but I agree with you that Perth is better. I really don't want to encourage more migration in my state. I think the population we currently have is well and truly enough. We are the driest state and it is a better option for newcomers to go directly to Perth.
@@dee-smart 😂
Perth is definitely better than Brisbane and I live in Queensland
We live in Sydney's Upper North Shore, for which there is no real Melbourne equivalent. There is a fair bit of consolidation going on, but it is still an area of comfortable family homes on reasonable blocks of land - in imperial the blocks are a half acre and in metric I think that works out to about 200ha. It is hilly so even walking a suburb away gives plenty of exercise for an aging couple. Melbourne is much flatter. There is a good train service to the city - in our case 35 minutes and in the days I was working that took a bit over a half hour. We'd get much the same in Melbourne despite major differences in the style of passenger rolling stock. Plenty of suburbs have day-to-day household shopping (ours has restrictive covenants which ban any commercial activity) and a couple of larger centres for larger purchases such as furniture and appliances. Good public and private schools. We'd find similar suburbs in Melbourne. The climate is cooler than closer to the harbour or coast, and on a couple of occasions we've had very light snow (it had all melted by the following morning). The Melbourne climate would be similar. We don't really notices differences in the art scene. We have had subscriptions for many years for theatre and opera and we'd get much the same performances were we in Melbourne. On the sporting scene, there is no Melbourne equivalent to the surf beaches in Sydney suburbs. We don't have easy access to Rules football but in Melbourne there's very little of either rugby code.
Thank you for sharing all this information!
Go Adelaide. Its awesome, great people, close to everything. Love it!
Should start saying "Taxpayer" every time you say the word "government" because that's how it works
Very comprehensive but… you missed out Jenolean caves!!!!!!!!!!! Also Wombeyan caves and others. Jenolean caves should be right at the top of the list! Great video, you should mention Canberra is the capital of Australia though.
When mentioning how Melbourne has great local beaches and Brisbane you need to drive 1.5 hours north to the Sunshine Coast or 1.5 hours south to the Gold Coast or 1 hour boat ride to Moreton or Stradbroke Islands. Correct Melbourne does have some beautiful beaches but you didn't mention water temperatures. Queensland's winter water temperature is warmer than Melbourne's summer water temperature. Fine if you just want to go to the beach and sit and look but go for a swim (even in summer) and it's an instant headache (brain freeze) when you dive in. Just saying it's a very important fact you failed to mention. We are now in winter, today has not a cloud in the sky, Max 23° and stays like that all day (not 4 seasons in one day) I think Melbourne also has more days above 40° , I can't remember the last time we reached that temperature however I admit the summer just finished had exceptionally bad humidity compared to previous years.
Are any of these cities having humid climate ?
Beaches in Adelaide stretch along the whole coast for kms . Glenelg is a short tram ride from the city centre. Fantastic beach. Just a short distance from Glenelg you have constant beautiful golden sand down to Brighton.
Wonderful video Lisa! Lots of information. I have been living in Sydney for the last many years, completely echo your points :) Cheers!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it.
Love the video
Thank you!
So I have never been to Melbourne, but I just visited Brisbane to see family and activate my permanent residency visa and I absolutely fell in love with the place! One phrase that comes to my mind is "good vibes" - just so chilled and laid back!
Yes it definitely has good vibes!
Very informative and interesting video. Have a great weekend! Tad
Thanks Tad! You too.
amazing video like how you went into detail explaining nearly everything
Thank you!
Nice video Lisa. I'll add a few more things: 1. There is a new airport being built in Greater Western Sydney at a place called Badgery's Creek and will open around 2026. The existing Kingsford Smith Airport has no room to expand. 2. Train lines: Sydney is currently building the Sydney Metro and Metro West. The Sydney Metro is partially opened and will be fully open within next 12-18 months. This lines runs from Tallawong in the northwest to Chatswood, thru Crows Nest into the CBD then back out into the south west finishing up at Bankstown. The Sydney Metro West which is at the beginning of construction is a second line running from the CBD to Parramatta; will have stations at Pyrmont, The Bays, Five Dock, Burwood North, Strathfield North, Olympic Park, Parramatta finishing up at Westmead. 3. About 80-90% of Sydney's motorway network is tolled. About half of the city's motorways were built within the last 20 years by the private sector. The infrastructure is great but it has to be paid for. 4. Roads A3, A6, A9 act as western ring roads of Sydney. These are not tolled but they are not motorways. These are arterial roads but have interchanges in some places. The M7 is the motorway western ring road but this is tolled.
Thanks so much for the information!
Fantastic video of what suburbs in Sydney offer. I know Sydney very well, having lived in most general areas at some point in a fairly long life. I learned some recent changes in your video like Marickville becoming trendy. When I was last there, 25 odd years ago, it was a pretty standard inner west Sydney suburb that was clearly not in the trendy, hipster suburbs. Perhaps a bit like Cantebury now. High endorsement from me! Thank you.
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed the video!
Great video as usual 😊. But you did gloss over the pros of living in Sutherland shire surrounded by the beautiful Royal National Park and the southern beaches. Including the brilliant Cronulla beach which is less than an hours train ride from the Sydney CBD. I live in a perfect leafy green peninsula next to the pristine Port Hacking river and Royal National Park and less than a 40 minute train ride to the CBD. It's obvious you don't do much house sitting down here. By the way the Shire including the beach culture is much more casual and laid back compared to the northside.
Thank you. I’ve only visited the Sutherland Shire a few times so I’m not that familiar with it, but Cronulla is very beautiful.
I was born and grew up in Perth, then in my early 20's lived for about 7 years on the eastern seaboard, mainly Qld and Vic [4 years in Melbourne]. That said, it's worth noting that I returned to Perth to raise my family. Great place for bringing up kids and wonderful lifestyle.
Hi mate l train boxing in Perth beaches reach out and say hi
thats higher than canada. Not going there. unless i can camp outside somewhere
Brisbane has good beaxhes just have to explore more
Also Victoria is like a communist state Don't move there you will regret
Brisbane is far far better to live The climate is far better I would not live in Melbourne for all the money of the world Freezing in both Summer and Winter The sea temperature is always cold So what's the point going to the beach in Melbourne
Disagree. The weather in Brisbane is terrible. Far too humid and too many storms. Melbourne is much more pleasant.
😳 P r o m o S M
I like how you show a little rain fall when describing Melbourne's weather and than you said Brisbane gets flooding .. but it's funny you didn't show How Bad The Flooding can Get in Brisbane...😂😂 that mite help people's decision, because I know a few people that lost so much stuff in multiple floods and Brisbane. Just saying people NEED TO KNOW HOW BAD THE FLOODING GETS IN BRISBANE
People should check the flood maps (interactive ones) to decide where to live. Most of Brisbane is flood-free.
