Your excitement at being in Perth got me all excited too, and I’ve lived here all my life 😂. You have a great personality for social media, keep going.
I live in Perth; I love Perth; I will never move somewhere else!!! However... I hope you do travel a lot around the world too , like I do (I've been truly on all continents, except Antarctica :)). Interacting with different languages and cultures, outside self-centered Anglo-Saxon areas of dominance, will help you keep things in perspective, and maybe... even like Perth more? :)
@@ricklorimer9984 Err.. I think you might be going off a misleading metric there. For instance, New York City has 8 million strictly living within the densely compact section of urban build-up that happens to be inside the New York State boundary. However, its entire metropolitan population (which includes its spillover urban build-up into neighbouring States) is in fact closer to 20 million. There's atleast ten Combined Statistical Areas (CSA's) in the US that have a bigger population than Sydney. Not trying to be a smart arse. Just pointing out a fact that a lot of people tend to get mixed up with. Even I don't fully grasp it. But Perth would definitely not be among the top half-dozen biggest US cities, that's for sure.
@@eddielong8663 It obviously does depend on how you define the "city". But most websites use the same metric and do in fact list the population of Perth such that it would rank around 6 or 7 in the US, using the same standards.
My husband and I emigrated to Perth from the Uk in the early 80s. It was a sleepy little city then with one airport. Domestic flights landed during the day and international flights at night. So we arrived in the dark and book into a hotel. In the morning we walked down through the Supreme Court gardens to the swan river. It was a quintessential summers day with endless blue skies and palm trees lining the Swan river. We were both speechless, we couldn’t believe how beautiful it was. 40 years later, we have 4 grown children and a tribe of grandkids and I wouldn’t want to live anywhere else. Pity I didn’t know you were coming, we live in the hills and have kangaroos everywhere 🦘🦘🦘🦘😂
The bad thing of Perth 20 years ago, was all the shops and supermarkets close at 5pm, or latest 6pm. It's much better now that all supermarkets open until 9pm.
@@dark3031 Sometimes. I still miss the days shops closed at 5 on weekdays and midday on Saturdays. Half-holidays they called them. Only the odd deli open on Sundays for bread, milk and a newspaper and an ice cream. Well I was just a kid then but everything seemed a lot better.
G'Day to you, I came to Perth on a 3 Week Vacation from Sydney in Jan.'71 and still here, I loved the lay back way of life compared to Sydney, I was 21 now 74 guess you could say I like the place🤣
I thought most eastern ppl referred to us a as backwater wingers; but to be fair we generate 50percent of the wealth and materials for this country, and we get very little of the profits.
Quokkas and Kangaroos are marsupial. Most marsupials in their natural habitat are nocturnal and sleep during the day. Dawn and dusk are the best time to see them active,
@@kathrynletchford5114They’re so much more active when it’s darker and even more so after people have cleared out. I was strolling around the settlement at 4 a.m. once and it was a full-on quokka rave - many, many more of them out and about, quokka fights, quokkas chasing insects, quokkas exploring - not the chill afternoon quokka scene at all.
@@kathrynletchford5114the quokkas in the areas of high human traffic are more active during the day as they feed on peoples dropped food. They have to fight their nocturnal circadian rhythm, and are typically more sluggish as a result.
I didn't hear anything you could do besides a little sight seeing. I live in the suburbs nearby. Look how excited Tante got over bushland. sheesh. I believe that was king's park at the end. That's kinda cool but kangeroos get boring quickly. Horses and deer are much cooler because you can ride and hunt them. Also I personally think the modern bland look is ugly as hell.
It all depends in where you’ve come from & what you can do there. When you grow up with something you often don’t really “ see”, but take for granted. I’m sure Europeans don’t get it when Aussies get all enthused about 400 Year old, narrow laned “ Old Towns” in their cities. As far as ksngaroos go & the bush generally, the more you learn about the flora & fauna & spend time out in it over every season the more you comprehend its uniqueness. Look deeper my friend. But I do agree that the last decades worth of “ new buildings” In Perth are pretty generic & Elizabeth Key heavily overdeveloped ruining what had been an iconic parkland bordered river frontage. 😟
You need to remember that some people spend their entire life in snow, or have never seen a sandy beach, or have never seen a marsupial bigger than a mouse. I'm born and raised in Perth, and always wanted to "get away when I grow up", but after travelling the world in my 20's, I realized how special this place is. Perfect place to raise a family.
We feel soooo blessed to be living in Western Australia for our whole lives! Raised our children here and we are watching our grand-babies grow up here also! Would never want to leave! So happy you found us!!! Welcome and enjoy our beautiful city and state.❤
So glad you posted this video. Perth is a great place but we often get overlooked because we are so far from all the other cities on the east coast. This is the best video of Perth that I have seen on RUclips. Sorry our wildlife was so uncooperative, they really can be jerks sometimes😊
As the video poster stated, flights are cheap between Indonesia and Perth. Cheaper for us to get there than the East Coast, and far cheaper while we're there. Whilst this is good fun for Perth locals, I do think that simple fact isolates us a lot more than people realise from the East Coast. I think I spent less on my last trip to Thailand than my last trip to Sydney. That might not be great for National unity. And I don't know how to change it. Jet fuel costs what it costs, and you can't coerce East Coast hotels to give Westralians cheaper rates. So we remain estranged cousins.
As a well-travelled Aussie (mainly in Australia), i think that Perth is the best Capital city in OZ and Western Australia one of the most wonderful states and I'm from Queensland. I first went to Perth in 1969 for a sailing championship and we drove from Cairns and this was when the Nullabor was 320 miles of dirt road. Since then, I have driven the Nullabor another 6 times and it has never bored me. I really love the South-West Corner of the state the best, having travelled around it in my campervan many time. My favourite place is Lucky Bay. I'm off to Perth again on March 23 for my neice's hubby's 50th. I have two neices who live in WA, one in North Dandalup and one in Narrowgin.
Perth grows onto you! As an Indian who came to Perth for 1 year to secure a well placed job, it’s 6 years and Perth is now home and place of my sanity. Glad destiny brought us here!! ❤️
It is indeed a jewel. I've lived in 3 other capitals. But I've been here one year. When I had to return to Melbourne i hadn't even left the airport and I just missed perth. Rare feeling. It really is Xanadu. Hard to get to, but hard to leave.
As a person born and raised in Los Angeles California, but living here in Perth the last decade, it is indeed amazing! Perth has many similarities to LA, west coast cities, both hugely laid out and “beach cities” but what Perth has going for it is safety and cleanliness. The cleanest city I’ve ever been in, and very modern overall. Just a great place to be.
Wow, may I say a big big thank you for the way you show cased my home City of Perth. I've always been proud of my home City , but even more so now. In just a short time you visited some wonderful places. Kings Park is the worlds largest inner City Park and is 60 hectares larger than New Yorks Central park. If you ever get back this way , a visit to Fremantle, Perth Zoo, Cottesloe Beach and South Perth are all a must. Once again thank you
In 1990 i made a 1year Trip arround australia. Startet in Perth and endet up there, seen Adelaide,sydney,Darwin and others. Returned from Darwin to Perth crossing the north of WA 4500 km. I Fell in love for Perth and returned 2 Times for holiday. The best City on earth
Come on people!! I live in Perth and have been to every state and capital city in Australia. Each state has it's down side but mostly ALL cities have their great cafes, restaurants, beaches, parks etc so we should not be putting each state down, instead let's all love our country and tell visitors and tourists how wonderful this place is regardless of which state you live in!! 💕💕
Agreed. I was literally just in NSW for a few days and whilst there is way better infrastructure and more to do, it's nice coming back to Perth where the traffic isn't crazy, no toll roads everywhere, things are cheaper and just a more chill vibe in general.
I first step foot to Perth in Jan 1990, as a scholarship student from Malaysia. I know nothing about Australia other than Kangaroos, Kalgoorlie... Fell in love with its sight, smell n sound from that time... In 2013, and my husb n I had since brought our adult daughters here for them to study and now we hv permanently moved back to Perth... I love Perth everyday. It's vast, not crowded and peaceful place on earth... 2024 still as lovely at it was in 1990..
@@ACDZ123 You're mixing up 2 different statistics. Perth's population has hit 2.3 million but the 3 million figure is actually for Western Australia which is fast approaching 2.9 million (so hitting 3 million by 2028 makes sense). Perth will be somewhere close to 2.4 million by 2028.
How damn refreshing to see someone not complaining about perth ,like a lot of my eastern states friends do .I've lived in Perth My whole life and would never move
One of the best life decisions I've made was the move to Perth. Having lived in Sydney for the first 30 years of my life. I am now finally happy and at peace being in Perth. It's such a beautiful city & there's so many nice destinations to go to!
Thank you for loving your little stay in Perth . Your video is a love,y testament for Perth. Most of us are very proud and thunk it’s one of the best places in the world and hi highly underrated . Thank you come back again 🙏💖🌻✨
No matter which state or territory capital you visit you will find a city where there is a genuine pride of that city and a real effort to make it a clean and pleasant environment for those who live or visit that city.I grew up in a small coastal town in NSW. It was and still is quite beautiful. I have lived in both Sydney and Newcastle for quite some years and have spent a week or more in Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth. Each city is something special. we Aussies are so fortunate to live here, whether it is in one of the larger cities or in the more isolated small towns.
I'm from Perth and I think that 🤔 we take for granted what we have to offer. So this was a good reminder 😊 of what we have. Great video great energy 👏 keep going.
Welcome to WA which is the 2nd largest "State" on the planet covering 2,530,000 sq Km with coastline stretching some 13,000kms (excluding islands or 21,000kms including islands coastline) The city of Perth covers 6,500 sq kms and Perth City coastline stretches 150kms with amazing beaches that are up there with the worlds best with pure white soft sand and the blue indian ocean (no pollution and no litter and no crowds to annoy you). Perth is like being on a permanent holiday as access is easy. East coast is nice but heaps busier as much more population which results in major traffic like all larger cities. The west also gets amazing sunsets over the Idian ocean as you will find out. What you have explored is only a very tiny snippet of the city and WA so hope you get a chance to see more.
Just one slight correction . The metropolitan beaches are all yellow soft sand and this extends north and south of our very long coast line. There are obvious changes in colour the further north you travel but every part of our huge coast line is interesting for viewing, fishing, swimming and/or surfing taking pictures wonderful sun sets and I can go on and on. We love visitors so come and enjoy some relaxing time with us. .
Total schön, so viel Natur dort 😍 Es sieht dort überall so menschenleer aus… Unglaublich, dass das eine Millionenstadt ist! Der kostenlose Bus ist ja mal eine tolle Sache! Deine Videos sind total ansteckend was die Reiselust betrifft, jetzt MUSS ich da auch hin 😂☀️ Wie immer wunderschönes Video!!
It can be somewhat deserted because we have a huge amount of passive underutilized public space that doesn't draw people into the focal points anywhere near as well as they should. Exasperated by obscene amounts of very low density nondescript suburban sprawl. Which is harder to create a critical mass of community identity and spirit, so by and large we have a very atomized population. Unfortunately a lot of people aren't motivated enough to leave their suburb or for some, their homes. The city also grew in fits and starts, and was the smallest of mainland state capitals by a fair margin pre WW2. So Perth never had the scale of pre car-centric inner mixed zone density that a Sydney or Melbourne had/has, or even Adelaide. Perth's growth took off post WW2 which unfortunately meant postwar mono-purpose planning schemes and a city designed for cars rather than people. There was also wide Architectural vandalism in the 60s-70s with the demolition of Perth's many character rich Gold Rush and Federation era grand old buildings, replaced by alienating internationalist style and brutalist eyesores. Still Perth has many great features but because of bad luck with the timing of growth bursts and car-centric planning, it's not the most lively city, or have a strong civic identity. Yet it's mostly clean, attractive enough, comparatively safe, good for families.
@@PjRjHj I totally agree with you on the architectural destruction in the city during the 60's and 70's. I arrived from Adelaide in 1968 and was horrified by what was happening. When I asked a city representative why they were destroying those beautiful buildings, he cheerfully told me that Perth was going to be modern, just like Sydney!
Thank you for capturing your experience! 😊 Perth really is such a beautiful city and it gets even better when you explore more of the state 🥰 I was born here and the citizens of Perth often complain about how there’s *nothing to do* but it only takes a mindset reframe to remember how lucky we are to have all of this in our backyard!
As a long-time resident of West Australia, I suggest a trip to the southwest of the state. The forests are amazing the surfing beaches incomparable. If you have extra time, venture down to Esperance, a short drive (an hour) to Cape Le Grand National Park. I have been to many beaches in Australia and internationally and have seen nothing that compares to it. The 'talcum powder' beaches and the aqua colors melting with the dark blue southern ocean are one of the most beautiful things you could imagine. I proposed to my wife there, and she accepted!
Thanks Tante, it was lovely of you. I've lived here my entire life and we always get a bad wrap from the rest of Australia. I think Perth is the best place in the world. Thanks so much for visiting.
@@SekuruJohan Oh there is much much but it could get political. More like the fiasco with our old premier and the mining magnate from NSW that had a lot of goes at WA, or the GST debacle where WA makes most of the money but had a lower cut of the GST just to name two of many times WA has coped it.
Welcome to Perth. Australia is a clean country compared to other parts of the world. We generally take pride in our surroundings and community. In fact the first Sunday of March every year is always nationally ‘Cleanup Australia Day’.
We just love digging up our environment and frakking the hell out of our wildlife. As is about to happen on the Ningaloo. But yep, so pride of our mining, I mean community.
@@triarb5790 A conservative mining state where they blowup indigenous caves and the future Premier works for the only media outlet. But shhhh… the weather is good and beaches are nice.
Sounds like a german / austrian accent. My dutch family came here in 2003 and we have never left. So fun to see a tourist coming to WA and having a great time. Feel free to contact us if your ever coming over from bali. Happy to show you around our southern part of the state. Its much more like europe.
My friend that lives 40 miles outside of Perth tells me its a beautiful city and I met Roland on our tour of Israel in 2019 and yes its so beautiful and Roland is a wonderful friend. Nice video my friend.👍👍👍👍👍
I have lived in Perth for over 50 years. Came from the UK. I was in Perth the other week when someone tried to tell me all the best sites to see why I was here.😂😂😂
she coulda went to that cemetery (pinnaroo valley memorial park). its a beautiful park, only a 20 min drive from the city, and there are literally *tonnes* of kangaroos there. And they all just chilling on the fresh cut grass under big shady trees. they eat all the flowers people bring there, but hey, they deserve them ^_^
One good thing about our little city is the how clean it is in parts where people actually care about their land and local parks its clean and the waters are amazing!!!
I really like your enthusiasm about Perth. It is indeed a welcoming clean safe well ordered pace with hundreds of interesting things to do and see, as does the rest of the state both north and south good video too.
Hello Auntie Londo, very, very happy to hear that you love our City. I have lived in W.A nearly all of my life and love it. Unfortunately people in the other states don’t agree, but they miss out. Groetjes
I do love living here and I guess being here all my life you tend to forget the beauty around you, I work everyday in and around the city maintaining the CCTV that covers the entire CBD and surrounding parks and community areas, I'll definitely be stopping to appreciate it more often. Thanks for making our beautiful and often overlooked city shine x
I totally agree with you. I lived here for 10 years now and Perth keep surprising me with beautiful stunning places to see. You should have gone down south or up north or at swan valley and thr surrounding places.
You’re such a lovely breath of fresh air I hope the people were kind to you as well and you enjoyed every think about Perth has to offer and I hope you come back
I’ve lived in Australia on the East Coast for nearly 20 years and I still get mind blown when I see kangaroos. It’s crazy how big wild animals like them just hang out in our street at night. I went to work one morning, start early at 5am, walked out of my front door at 3:45am and nearly crapped myself because there’s this monster Roo standing on the front lawn nibbling the grass. It was at least the same height as me and I’m 6”2
i know that feeling. once i was sitting in my room at night time on the computer, and then i noticed some gloowing eyes right beside my window. crapped my pants almost. but then when i turned on he lights and moved closer i realized it was just a cute and curious kitten peering through. i think i would have got a completely different reaction if I saw a 6'2" kangaroo looking at me xD
Bless you for sharing our BEAUTIFUL CITY OF PERTH with others! We are blessed to live in such a beautiful city! Hope you enjoyed and made the most of your stay here! There’s is a great place an hour out of the CBD, called Serpentine Falls, you must go there, the next time you’re here honey-you get to be right up close with Kangaroos whilst having a picnic. They’re incredibly bold there… Kindest regards, Kerri from a suburb called Innaloo, close to Scarborough Beach!❤❤
I've lived in Perth for 12 years, but I'm from the US, its a wonderful place and i can't see living anywhere else. I was scared you wouldn't see a Roo as, they are a dusk to early morning type animal, but glad you did. Glad you enjoyed! ♥
I have lived here almost 40 years, we tend to take it all for granted and we focus on the bad stuff that we have to deal with daily. Your vid has refreshed my love for Perth and WA. Thanks
Thank you, i have lived in Perth since 87, so you tend to forget what attracted you here in the first place, so watching and hearing your comments from a visitor was interesting. Perth coming from Sydney, always looked and felt clean, which appears to be still the impression it gives off. Perth still manages to feel like a large country town, perhaps from retaining historic buildings, and not as many high rise. Enjoy your time, visit again, Great post.
I loved seeing Perth through your eyes. Makes me appreciate living here even more. I had forgotten that the Rottnest ferry can be caught from the CBD, that must be fantastic for tourists.
I live down south, but I go up to Perth a lot to stay with family, so I’ve never really seen Perth through the eyes of a tourist. It’s awesome to see you enjoying Perth so much! If you go again, be sure to check out the museum, it’s the best!
I've lived 50 years in Perth and travelled far and wide to many other parts of the planet. Perth is the ultimate city to come home to and feel.....at home. It's a breath of fresh air.
What a wondrfully positive report you have made. I'm from Perth but fell out of love with it. You have managed to bring back all my fond memories, thank you.
If you think Perth was great, and it is, come to the South West. Pemberton, Denmark, Albany, Augusta. From zip lines in the tallest trees, to snorkeling perfect beaches. The best food, the most stunning natural environment. It's an absolute must when visiting Western Australia 🦘
I’m so glad you enjoyed your visit to Perth. In my 60 years it has changed so much, but you have seen the one constant we all love, King’s Park. Sadly, you weren’t here for the best time of the year to experience the spectacle of our native wildflowers in the park. I hope you come back, to enjoy some more of what Western Australia has to offer. Perth is such a tiny speck!
Your excitement at being in Perth got me all excited too, and I’ve lived here all my life 😂. You have a great personality for social media, keep going.
I agree completely
I agree Amy! I’ve lived here my whole life but never looked at Perth the way she does. 🎉
Yeah, this video made me feel like I'm too harsh on my state. 😅😂🤪
Isn't she sweet. I see the city all the time and I don't see it in all its beauty

As a person born and raised in Los Angeles California, but living here in Perth the last decade, it is indeed amazing! Perth has many similarities to LA, west coast cities, both hugely laid out and “beach cities” but what Perth has going for it is safety and cleanliness. The cleanest city I’ve ever been in, and very modern overall. Just a great place to be.
being from California, how do you explain the vast size and different landscapes, and small population to your American friends etc.
Wow, may I say a big big thank you for the way you show cased my home City of Perth. I've always been proud of my home City , but even more so now. In just a short time you visited some wonderful places. Kings Park is the worlds largest inner City Park and is 60 hectares larger than New Yorks Central park. If you ever get back this way , a visit to Fremantle, Perth Zoo, Cottesloe Beach and South Perth are all a must. Once again thank you
In 1990 i made a 1year Trip arround australia. Startet in Perth and endet up there, seen Adelaide,sydney,Darwin and others. Returned from Darwin to Perth crossing the north of WA 4500 km. I Fell in love for Perth and returned 2 Times for holiday. The best City on earth
Come on people!! I live in Perth and have been to every state and capital city in Australia. Each state has it's down side but mostly ALL cities have their great cafes, restaurants, beaches, parks etc so we should not be putting each state down, instead let's all love our country and tell visitors and tourists how wonderful this place is regardless of which state you live in!! 💕💕
Hear, hear!
Loving this Vibe. Cleary form Western Australia. Lol sorry couldn't help myself
I agree!! Except for Victoria.
Agreed. I was literally just in NSW for a few days and whilst there is way better infrastructure and more to do, it's nice coming back to Perth where the traffic isn't crazy, no toll roads everywhere, things are cheaper and just a more chill vibe in general.
How about NO! I don't want perth full of third world trash.
I first step foot to Perth in Jan 1990, as a scholarship student from Malaysia. I know nothing about Australia other than Kangaroos, Kalgoorlie... Fell in love with its sight, smell n sound from that time... In 2013, and my husb n I had since brought our adult daughters here for them to study and now we hv permanently moved back to Perth... I love Perth everyday. It's vast, not crowded and peaceful place on earth... 2024 still as lovely at it was in 1990..
Perth has 2.1 million people. Its a clean city in a clean country. Glad you enjoyed it .
According to beauro of statistics Perth has now passed 2.3 million and expected to be 3 million by 2028
Weirdly enough almost 90% of the state population lives in Perth.
@@ACDZ123 You're mixing up 2 different statistics. Perth's population has hit 2.3 million but the 3 million figure is actually for Western Australia which is fast approaching 2.9 million (so hitting 3 million by 2028 makes sense). Perth will be somewhere close to 2.4 million by 2028.
@@GiveMeSpaceTravel-bg8td It's more like around 79% than 90%. About half a million WA residents live outside of Perth.
@thevannmann if you google you will get all sorts of wrong information..go to the Australian beuro of statistics...
How damn refreshing to see someone not complaining about perth ,like a lot of my eastern states friends do .I've lived in Perth My whole life and would never move
You are the best advertisement for our beautiful city. THANK YOU.
One of the best life decisions I've made was the move to Perth. Having lived in Sydney for the first 30 years of my life. I am now finally happy and at peace being in Perth. It's such a beautiful city & there's so many nice destinations to go to!
❤❤
Thank you for loving your little stay in Perth . Your video is a love,y testament for Perth. Most of us are very proud and thunk it’s one of the best places in the world and hi highly underrated . Thank you come back again 🙏💖🌻✨
I’m always so fascinated to see my home city from a visitors pov. This is really cool
I am glad you enjoyed our city please come again 😊
yep. and if you ever want to, feel free to say more nice things about our city ^_^
No matter which state or territory capital you visit you will find a city where there is a genuine pride of that city and a real effort to make it a clean and pleasant environment for those who live or visit that city.I grew up in a small coastal town in NSW. It was and still is quite beautiful. I have lived in both Sydney and Newcastle for quite some years and have spent a week or more in Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth. Each city is something special. we Aussies are so fortunate to live here, whether it is in one of the larger cities or in the more isolated small towns.
well said, we should be proud of all of Australia and not just from the city or town we are from.
I'm from Perth and I think that 🤔 we take for granted what we have to offer. So this was a good reminder 😊 of what we have. Great video great energy 👏 keep going.
This is pretty much how I felt when I first drove into Perth more than thirty years ago. Thanks for bringing that excitement back to me.
Welcome to WA which is the 2nd largest "State" on the planet covering 2,530,000 sq Km with coastline stretching some 13,000kms (excluding islands or 21,000kms including islands coastline) The city of Perth covers 6,500 sq kms and Perth City coastline stretches 150kms with amazing beaches that are up there with the worlds best with pure white soft sand and the blue indian ocean (no pollution and no litter and no crowds to annoy you). Perth is like being on a permanent holiday as access is easy. East coast is nice but heaps busier as much more population which results in major traffic like all larger cities.
The west also gets amazing sunsets over the Idian ocean as you will find out.
What you have explored is only a very tiny snippet of the city and WA so hope you get a chance to see more.
Just one slight correction . The metropolitan beaches are all yellow soft sand and this extends north and south of our very long coast line. There are obvious changes in colour the further north you travel but every part of our huge coast line is interesting for viewing, fishing, swimming and/or surfing taking pictures wonderful sun sets and I can go on and on. We love visitors so come and enjoy some relaxing time with us. .
Total schön, so viel Natur dort 😍 Es sieht dort überall so menschenleer aus… Unglaublich, dass das eine Millionenstadt ist! Der kostenlose Bus ist ja mal eine tolle Sache! Deine Videos sind total ansteckend was die Reiselust betrifft, jetzt MUSS ich da auch hin 😂☀️ Wie immer wunderschönes Video!!
See you soon!
@@Quinctili I hope so 😊
@@40yrsago , the best coffee in the world, worth the trip just for that.
It can be somewhat deserted because we have a huge amount of passive underutilized public space that doesn't draw people into the focal points anywhere near as well as they should. Exasperated by obscene amounts of very low density nondescript suburban sprawl. Which is harder to create a critical mass of community identity and spirit, so by and large we have a very atomized population. Unfortunately a lot of people aren't motivated enough to leave their suburb or for some, their homes.
The city also grew in fits and starts, and was the smallest of mainland state capitals by a fair margin pre WW2. So Perth never had the scale of pre car-centric inner mixed zone density that a Sydney or Melbourne had/has, or even Adelaide. Perth's growth took off post WW2 which unfortunately meant postwar mono-purpose planning schemes and a city designed for cars rather than people. There was also wide Architectural vandalism in the 60s-70s with the demolition of Perth's many character rich Gold Rush and Federation era grand old buildings, replaced by alienating internationalist style and brutalist eyesores. Still Perth has many great features but because of bad luck with the timing of growth bursts and car-centric planning, it's not the most lively city, or have a strong civic identity. Yet it's mostly clean, attractive enough, comparatively safe, good for families.
@@PjRjHj I totally agree with you on the architectural destruction in the city during the 60's and 70's. I arrived from Adelaide in 1968 and was horrified by what was happening.
When I asked a city representative why they were destroying those beautiful buildings, he cheerfully told me that Perth was going to be modern, just like Sydney!
Thank you for capturing your experience! 😊 Perth really is such a beautiful city and it gets even better when you explore more of the state 🥰 I was born here and the citizens of Perth often complain about how there’s *nothing to do* but it only takes a mindset reframe to remember how lucky we are to have all of this in our backyard!
As a long-time resident of West Australia, I suggest a trip to the southwest of the state. The forests are amazing the surfing beaches incomparable. If you have extra time, venture down to Esperance, a short drive (an hour) to Cape Le Grand National Park. I have been to many beaches in Australia and internationally and have seen nothing that compares to it. The 'talcum powder' beaches and the aqua colors melting with the dark blue southern ocean are one of the most beautiful things you could imagine. I proposed to my wife there, and she accepted!
Thanks Tante, it was lovely of you. I've lived here my entire life and we always get a bad wrap from the rest of Australia. I think Perth is the best place in the world. Thanks so much for visiting.
I don't reckon we give you a bad wrap (I'm from Melbourne) - we like Perth and WA. It's just too far (and expensive) to get to for most people. 😊
I live in Sydney, no one gives Perth a bad wrap. It’s a beautiful place.
Apart from a few jokes about how isolated we are, I don't think anyone actually gives Perth a bad wrap.
@@SekuruJohan Oh there is much much but it could get political. More like the fiasco with our old premier and the mining magnate from NSW that had a lot of goes at WA, or the GST debacle where WA makes most of the money but had a lower cut of the GST just to name two of many times WA has coped it.
Great video glad you enjoyed your stay. I love Perth that's why I have never left.
lived in perth my entire life, seeing this video has made me realise how much i take it for granted. wonderful video!
Welcome to Perth. Australia is a clean country compared to other parts of the world. We generally take pride in our surroundings and community. In fact the first Sunday of March every year is always nationally ‘Cleanup Australia Day’.
definitely a lot cleaner than indonesia
We just love digging up our environment and frakking the hell out of our wildlife. As is about to happen on the Ningaloo. But yep, so pride of our mining, I mean community.
@@triarb5790 A conservative mining state where they blowup indigenous caves and the future Premier works for the only media outlet. But shhhh… the weather is good and beaches are nice.
Sounds like a german / austrian accent.
My dutch family came here in 2003 and we have never left. So fun to see a tourist coming to WA and having a great time. Feel free to contact us if your ever coming over from bali. Happy to show you around our southern part of the state. Its much more like europe.
My friend that lives 40 miles outside of Perth tells me its a beautiful city and I met Roland on our tour of Israel in 2019 and yes its so beautiful and Roland is a wonderful friend. Nice video my friend.👍👍👍👍👍
im really glad you liked it, made me appreciate it more
Your joy in seeing Perth has me interested in visiting myself!
I have lived in Perth for over 50 years. Came from the UK. I was in Perth the other week when someone tried to tell me all the best sites to see why I was here.😂😂😂
Roos sleep in the middle of the day, they come out early morning and evening 😴 ❤ for Australia 🇦🇺
she coulda went to that cemetery (pinnaroo valley memorial park). its a beautiful park, only a 20 min drive from the city, and there are literally *tonnes* of kangaroos there. And they all just chilling on the fresh cut grass under big shady trees. they eat all the flowers people bring there, but hey, they deserve them ^_^
@@DemonsCrest1 Visiting a cemetery to see Kangaroos is probably too weird for most visitors.
Matur nuwun, serasa diajak jalan jalan ke Australia 😂
Thank you for kind words about my home city. So lovely and positive. Wa Tourism should promote this video ❤ Perth is lovely.
I’m glad you enjoyed our city and Rotto, please come back soon. 💕
I was born in Newcastle NSW but have never visited Perth.
Thank you for your review. It is now on my bucket list.
One good thing about our little city is the how clean it is in parts where people actually care about their land and local parks its clean and the waters are amazing!!!
I live here and enjoyed your video-your enthusiasm for "our best kept secret!"
I really like your enthusiasm about Perth. It is indeed a welcoming clean safe well ordered pace with hundreds of interesting things to do and see, as does the rest of the state both north and south good video too.
I Love Perth ❤such a beautiful city!
Loved your perspective on Perth, we are lucky to live here. Thanks for visiting us, so glad you enjoyed your time here.
I loved seeing Perth through a fresh pair of eyes!! Thank you!! Reminds me of how beautiful Perth is all over again!!
I enjoyed this video. Probably the best tourism advertisement for Perth I've ever seen. Great stuff. I'm glad you enjoyed your time.
You have experienced a place many of us Aussie’s never get to visit. But you have definitely got me excited to maybe book a trip. I loved your energy.
I live in Sydney and I was stunned at how beautiful Perth's CBD looked. Perth is definitely somewhere I plan to travel to sooner rather than later.
they recently added a whole bunch of new stuff. the whole "Elizabeth Keys" place is pretty new. before that, it wasnt as good ^_^
@@DemonsCrest1Elizabeth Quay.
Thank you for showing off our beautiful city! Glad you enjoyed your visit! 😊
Hello Auntie Londo, very, very happy to hear that you love our City. I have lived in W.A nearly all of my life and love it. Unfortunately people in the other states don’t agree, but they miss out.
Groetjes
It’s so inspiring and refreshing to see a positive happy person loving life
We are so lucky to live in Perth. It’s sooo pretty 😊❤️🇦🇺👍🏼
I do love living here and I guess being here all my life you tend to forget the beauty around you, I work everyday in and around the city maintaining the CCTV that covers the entire CBD and surrounding parks and community areas, I'll definitely be stopping to appreciate it more often. Thanks for making our beautiful and often overlooked city shine x
I totally agree with you. I lived here for 10 years now and Perth keep surprising me with beautiful stunning places to see. You should have gone down south or up north or at swan valley and thr surrounding places.
So wonderful to see your happy smile! Glad you enjoyed Perth and that you got beautiful weather while you were here 💙
For the most isolated city in the world, Perth is a very beautiful place.
It's second most isolated after hawaii I'm pretty sure
So glad you enjoyed our little city, and took us along for the journey 💗
You’re such a lovely breath of fresh air I hope the people were kind to you as well and you enjoyed every think about Perth has to offer and I hope you come back
Thanks for appreciating my city of Perth. I appreciate it more after watching your video.
As a WA local of my whole life and an adventurer myself, it warms my heart to see someone so excited seeing our little city.
Thanks for visiting and I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Glad you love it, we came in 1995 and have never left, great place especially to bring up kids.
I’ve lived in Australia on the East Coast for nearly 20 years and I still get mind blown when I see kangaroos. It’s crazy how big wild animals like them just hang out in our street at night.
I went to work one morning, start early at 5am, walked out of my front door at 3:45am and nearly crapped myself because there’s this monster Roo standing on the front lawn nibbling the grass. It was at least the same height as me and I’m 6”2
That sounds scary and exciting at the same time 🙈🤩
i know that feeling. once i was sitting in my room at night time on the computer, and then i noticed some gloowing eyes right beside my window. crapped my pants almost. but then when i turned on he lights and moved closer i realized it was just a cute and curious kitten peering through. i think i would have got a completely different reaction if I saw a 6'2" kangaroo looking at me xD
So glad you enjoyed our city. Hope you come back for a longer stay sometime soon. 😊
I hope so too 😄
Bless you for sharing our BEAUTIFUL CITY OF PERTH with others!
We are blessed to live in such a beautiful city!
Hope you enjoyed and made the most of your stay here!
There’s is a great place an hour out of the CBD, called Serpentine Falls, you must go there, the next time you’re here honey-you get to be right up close with Kangaroos whilst having a picnic. They’re incredibly bold there…
Kindest regards, Kerri from a suburb called Innaloo, close to Scarborough Beach!❤❤
Glad you enjoyed Perth, especially as an employee of Kings Park for over 10 years… best work place in Australia
I found after travelling around the world then coming home to perth.. how clean, modern and again clean it is! Beautiful weather 😍
I've lived in Perth for 12 years, but I'm from the US, its a wonderful place and i can't see living anywhere else. I was scared you wouldn't see a Roo as, they are a dusk to early morning type animal, but glad you did. Glad you enjoyed! ♥
Your enthusiasm was a great advertisement for our city! Sometimes we take it for granted. Thank you.
I have lived here almost 40 years, we tend to take it all for granted and we focus on the bad stuff that we have to deal with daily. Your vid has refreshed my love for Perth and WA. Thanks
Thank you, i have lived in Perth since 87, so you tend to forget what attracted you here in the first place, so watching and hearing your comments from a visitor was interesting.
Perth coming from Sydney, always looked and felt clean, which appears to be still the impression it gives off.
Perth still manages to feel like a large country town, perhaps from retaining historic buildings, and not as many high rise.
Enjoy your time, visit again,
Great post.
I loved seeing Perth through your eyes. Makes me appreciate living here even more. I had forgotten that the Rottnest ferry can be caught from the CBD, that must be fantastic for tourists.
Thank you for reminding me how blessed I am to be living in such a beautiful place!
I live down south, but I go up to Perth a lot to stay with family, so I’ve never really seen Perth through the eyes of a tourist. It’s awesome to see you enjoying Perth so much! If you go again, be sure to check out the museum, it’s the best!
Lovely review of Perth enjoy our beautiful country whilst you're here. I hope you have a fantastic time whilst you're here in aus
what a sweet positive video. Much appreciated thank you
I've lived 50 years in Perth and travelled far and wide to many other parts of the planet. Perth is the ultimate city to come home to and feel.....at home. It's a breath of fresh air.
@martindormer2116 yes the freo doctor makes Shaw we do have good air to breathe im 80 have spent time in every state for work W.A. is paradise
I'm glad you enjoyed my city . I didn't even know they have Kangaroo's on Heirisson Island and i live here :-)
Should have gone to pinnaroo cemetery. 25 minute from the city. 1000s of kangaroos. As isolated as we are. Close to Asia.
thats what i just said. and then the next comment below i read yours xD. Yep. pinnaroo is a lovely place.
@@DemonsCrest1And Marangaroo golf course is just down from there - plenty of roos there, too.
I’m in Perth living here and you are making me smile how much you’re just loving this city. Thanks for coming!
I’m glad you enjoyed yourself in my city. I’ve been to a few different cities throughout the world but always enjoy coming home to Perth.
What a wondrfully positive report you have made. I'm from Perth but fell out of love with it. You have managed to bring back all my fond memories, thank you.
We arrived in Perth 25 years ago and never left! Glad you loved your visit to our home. One of the most beautiful cities in the world without a doubt.
If you think Perth was great, and it is, come to the South West. Pemberton, Denmark, Albany, Augusta.
From zip lines in the tallest trees, to snorkeling perfect beaches. The best food, the most stunning natural environment. It's an absolute must when visiting Western Australia 🦘
I’m so glad you enjoyed your visit to Perth. In my 60 years it has changed so much, but you have seen the one constant we all love, King’s Park. Sadly, you weren’t here for the best time of the year to experience the spectacle of our native wildflowers in the park. I hope you come back, to enjoy some more of what Western Australia has to offer. Perth is such a tiny speck!
yea, when my mum visited last time, the flowers there sucked as well ^_^
So clean city
I have lived here for over 10 years and I love it. Nice to be reminded from an outside perspective how good we have it here.
The joy on your face when you see the kangaroos is absolutely gorgeous ❤❤❤
that was lovely, I really enjoyed your smile and your enjoyment - Thanks
