I lived in Brisbane in my teens and twenties and Sydney 30's - 62. Moved to Perth to retire this year and of the 3 I think Perth is the most livable city, I'm very pleased with my decision to move here.
Lived in Brisbane for 12 years. Then moved to Perth 20 years ago. I'm here forever! Aweome family city, Beaches are incredible! So relaxed here.
Meth capital

Until Albo did his deal with Modi and ruined it...Love it when people say ...it's so great here so everyone comes here and turns it into the shithole they just left...goodone
I was born in Perth and live in Brisbane, I can't wait to move back to Perth. Humidity in Brisbane sucks, Perth has a better lifestyle for sure
Dafuq? If you are over 55 maybe! Lifestyle? Try finding a decent/ reasonably priced restaurant in city not in Fremantle! Brissy has plenty ffs!..
@@thrusta100 there are plenty of good reasonably priced restaurants in Perth.
Make sure you vote Pauline Hansen All the way...👍🏼
Talked up the parks in Brisbane but didn’t mention King’s Park in Perth, one of the biggest inner city parks in the world.
Yes, it does light up in the summer with Fringe Festival, Arts Festival, outdoor cinemas, food trucks etc
No mention of Bali as a major holiday destination for Perthites, 3 hour flight….
I love Brisbane, so much better than Sydney and Melbourne but nothing compares to Perth, amazing city but an even more amazing state
Perth climate is the best. The WA coastline has to be the best on this earth. Moving to Perth from the UK is the best thing I did.
Can Brits just go to australia without a visa? Just curious, because it's still in the commonwealth. As a german I'll have to apply for a whv.
Perth winter is 💩
Perth is full of poms who dont intergrate.
@@trevorwilson2966 do you integrate deaf ppl? Nope 🤬
I'm in Perth, just holidayed in Brisbane Nov 22. Perth has a small homeless problem in the CBD (small compared to Melbourne) with no apparent pushback by authorities to contain /help or move them on. Brisbane has a much more visible police presence in the CBD and the homeless seem to be contained a few streets away from the casino. Just an observation of a few days being a tourist, but Brisbane CBD "feels" safer than Perth CBD, but I've never had any problems in Perth having lived here over 50 years.
We’re thinking of moving to Perth in 4.5 years, going over in April for 3 weeks, cannot wait to see it.
April is the change month between summer and autumn, it's much milder weather then 👍
I hope you enjoy your time here.
Wow is all I can say, only been here two days but already fell in love, Scarborough beach is amazing, my little boy loves it, got lots planned over the next 3 weeks so I’ll keep you posted but a great start to our future plans 💙
@@ryancurtis5861 I’m a little late to your comment. I just wanted to say I hope you had a wonderful time in my hometown of Perth. Lived here for 40 years and it still amazes me😊❤️🇦🇺👍🏼
Used to live in Perth and moved Brisbane. Definitely Perth win. Lol.
Still miss everything in there.
oh wow nice. hard to get around perth without a car?
I live on the Gold Coast just south of Brisbane and I travel up to Brisbane fairly often.
One thing about Brisbane is how difficult it is to learn your way around when driving, the roads are like a maze and everyone speeds.
Take one wrong turn and you can end up in an underground toll road and pop out somewhere on the other side of town or even over the river.
Hahahahaha come to Perth and i bet you find it worse.
@@pommygeezer9309 I do actually want to visit western Australia, I've never been over there.
I fly in to Perth once a month.. I’m here now. I had a shocker driving up the Tonkin highway this week. Tbf there are road works going on. Perth is pretty good if you want great beaches. The nightlife is also good. Opinions are like assholes.. everyone has one! Enjoy your trip to WA
@@pommygeezer9309 You are obviously the odd Pommy Geezer out. Perth has the highest number of UK migrants along with South Africans than any other state and the vast majority are glad they chose Perth.
LOL!!! SO FUNNY!!
Another excellent video!
Every australian city is so beautiful and we forget how blessed and lucky that country is. What a beautiful country, i miss home so much, cant wait to come back!!
Totally right, it is so beautiful!
Not Canberra, gross
Too bad China is eying Australia.
@@westerlywinds5684 not just Australia. Worldwide nowadays 😡😡😡
As a retiree for a number of years, I moved to Western Australia in 2021 from Canberra (yes did the COVID19 Quarantine etc, etc.etc). along with moving my dog across Australia. I sold my ex house and purchased a 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom home in one of the coastal suburbs of Perth about 55 kms south. Having lived in Perth as a child, I always wanted to move back to Perth as it was the first part of Australia my family experienced having migrated from England. A 10 minute walk to the beach, 45 minute train journey to the City CBD and I am totally living the dream. Brisbane is not for me, floods, cyclones, humidity, yuck yuck yuck. Most of your video confirms and house prices are cheaper, cost of living is not too bad and the lifestyle is relaxed and lots of things to see and do. Lots of people are buying up investment properties or making the move to the West. Isolation is not a problem, like living anywhere you get used to where you live over time. Anyway an interesting video based on your experiences, but Perth is the winner for me.
Hi, my girlfriend and I are moving to Perth but I am concerned by alot of what I hear about scarcity of rental property. Don't want to end up spending a fortune on temporary accommodation. Should we be worried?
@@JRB33 the rental market is tough at the moment, but that's pretty standard across Australia.
Definitely Perth. I've lived in all the major cities and settled in Perth because the lifestyle isn't rushed. It's actually the most remote city in the world but it's only a 3 to 5 hr flight to anywhere in Asia. Perth also has amazing beaches and food
I love the short flights as well, although outside of Indonesia, you're probably looking at closer to ~8 hours I think. It's an exciting feeling knowing that you could take a nap and wake up in Bali within a couple hours. Tickets are really cheap too. You can get returns for like $250-300 if you're not too picky. Particularly great if you're a remote worker and can travel.
Lol only bogans go to Asia which is a hole anyway. Perth is a dry dusty dump that looks more like a country town.
@@evildead9708 Thanks for the quality input broski
@@evildead9708 Soooo You go to Asia a lot then!
@@stephenvelden295 yeah to visit your wife
You keep mentioning Perth is windier. You make it sound like a negative but in reality the "Doctor" is such a relief on a hot summers day.
Even the strong "Easterlies" from midnight on, bring a wonderful refreshing change in temperature. Brisbane doesn't enjoy that except in cyclone season.
The free o Doctor.
It’s mostly a relief but there are days when it just won’t stop right from the morning. I remember from Feb onward last year there was no much wind so let’s see. I like playing tennis and this summer I’ve not had a single day when we didn’t have to battle the wind on the court. I fully expect to play like a pro in autumn when the wind stops 🤣🤣
You are so well spoken and informative
Thank you!
Holidays you say Brisbane's closer to Sydney and Melbourne and you are correct BUT for people in Perth, Asia is on our doorstep. It's easier and so much cheaper to holiday in Bali than it is traveling all the way east for nothing special.
Bali is so special then.Full of aussie bogans.If you go somewhere decent in Asia like Tokyo then Brisbane is closer.
So it works both ways mate.
😂😂😂😂😂
As someone who has lived in perth my whole life i can confirm she is spot on with her analysis. Good job!
Thank you!
Brisbane has Southbank it is an amazing family place, biggest outdoor pool I have ever seen, like a sandy beach, eats, theatres, art galleries ect all in walking distance
Well articulated. Well researched
Thank you!
I would reiterate that. You've done your homework & I'm very impressed. I'm from Brisbane but spent 2 weeks visiting Perth with trips north to Kalbarri & south to Albany. The people in Perth are the most parochial in Australia with a love hate relationship with eastern states. To be fair, Qld use to be exactly like that decades ago. The 2 things I would miss most living in Perth would be mountains (Stirling Ranges are over 400 km away) & rainforests. The Darling 'Ranges' are about 1/3 the height of Mt Cootha. The latter at least offers a nice view of Brisbane. There are numerous national parks near Brisbane with small groves of rainforest. Mt Glorious, Mt Tamborine, Lamington NP, Springbrook, Blackall Ranges etc @@dreamingofdownunder
Helpful. Thanks
been to Brisbane twice, it was ok, Perth wins hands down, it has a much more beautiful river waterway and it has better weather, it has more days of sunshine than Brisbane, it’s dryer here and not humid like Brisbane. Queensland is a beautiful state but city wise Perth trumps Brisbane or Brissy as they call it, urgh
Not in winter it don’t! Dullsville, urgh...
Very long and cold and rainy winter in Perth versus short mild sunny winter in Brosbane.

Having lived in both cities, best advice. Ignore 95% of the ridiculous comments on this post.
When you see those Perth kitesurfers playing amazingly in the waves along the beautiful beaches, you won't say windy is a matter in Perth
Thank you. It made it more clear for me in terms of climate and costs of living.
You're welcome!
Lived in Both Perth and Brisbane, Perth is my preferred city, still developing with less traffic and properties are still affordable.
Windy (but not stormy) is a plus: keeps the air clean.
Today on the sunny coast just Nth of Bonehead formerly Brisbane bizzare winter balmy 27c more warm days to come until Tuesday. Nice to wear summer clothes
Very interesting and informative!

Great video! Currently living in Brisbane but thinking to move to Perth. I am English and like the flight connections from there.
Thanks! Good luck with your decision.
Streets beach is looking STUNNING in that cover photo haha 😭
Loved the comparison Between Perth and Brisbane. There no mention on Kings Park probably the first Visit people make to go and see.. Never been to Brisbane but heard how Nice it is.
I don't think she even mentioned Fremantle
Both are the best cities in Australia to actually live 😎👍
Perth is only "hot" for about 3 months of the year, it has a very mediterranean climate for about 4-5 months and is cold for 4-5 months. Brisbane feels hot for about 6 months of the year. It is easier to cool off in Perth. Perth is much easier to get around in; people spend far less time on a commute - there is also an excellent public transport (buses, trains) system tied in closely to the highway and freeway system. I have lived for many years in both cities. As far as beaches go there is just no comparison and you are only a max of 30 minutes away from a beach anywhere in Perth. House prices are only very high in both cities if you have a desperate need to live near to the CBD's and are very reasonable if you live 30-40 minutes drive away from work. The houses are much "prettier" in Brisbane, but as the lady says, they are far more expensive in Brissy. I think Brisbane is more suited to young couples who don't have children. Perth is extremely child friendly and there's much less stress on family life. The biggest downside to Perth is the feeling that you are two-dimensionally trapped between the hills and the sea. However, you just have to drive a couple of hours either north or south and you are met with the most incredible expanse of Australian nature. Perth is also amazingly close to Asia. 4 hours gets you to Singapore and about 3 hours to Bali.
As you can see from some of the comments there is a fair bit of prejudice from eastern state people towards people from Perth. Some of this may originate in WA's attempt to secede from Australia in I think the 1930's (the only reason this did not happen was because the British government just ignored the referendum result). Perhaps as a consequence of this "attitude" I think Perth and WA people have great resilience and independence in how they approach the idea of what it means to be an Australian. I personally couldn't give two stuffs for any of that childish parochialism. WA is about 1/3 of the landmass of Australia (which is the same size as the contiguous USA) with only about 2.5 million people. Let that sink in.
u prefer perth over bris?
Perth is meth capital. Meth city
lol really? ;0
A lot of the resentment comes from the fact that W.A makes most of Australias wealth from agriculture and mining but when it gets divvied up by the Federal Govt. W.A. gets a very low pecentage of that income.
Ian Wilson - Define cold. I always thought Perth is warm all year around. I live in British Columbia, Canada, but when we say warm, that means 28 - 32 C. Cold can vary between 2C. to -5 for 6 weeks in winter in Vancouver to -32C. inland.
I leave near the sea in Brisbane, it is heaven on Earth. The consistent sea breezes temper the summer humidity. It is also less hectic on the coast, but anytime I want hectic it is one train ride away to the CBD.
Exactly. Brissy has a 66km coastline, if ocean views/marina vibes are your thing, there's plenty of it. To name a few: Manly, Cleveland, Redlands Bay, Redcliffe ...
Born and raised in Adelaide and having lived in all of Australia's capital cities, Perth is no way the windiest city in Australia or the world. I once lived in Melbourne for 6 months, and that is hands down the windiest city in Australia. The reason why the rumour spread of Perth being windy is because of the "Fremantle Doctor" a strong, cool breeze that comes off the south west Indian Ocean in the summer time afternoons. I have lived 5 minutes from the coast for most of my 23 years in Perth, and it is either dead calm or gently breezy most of the year. The "Fremantle Doctor" is a cool, welcoming breeze that is soothing and cooling on summer afternoons. If you are on certain beaches during summer afternoons, it feels more like a wind. But it's no way like Melbourne, which is windy anywhere you go at any time of the year.
I've had my heart set on Perth for a few years. I'm originally from the UK, currently living in Melbourne. I've been to sydney for a visit, but other than that, I haven't been anywhere else in Aus. I like certain aspects of Melbourne, but I hate the weather here. Very cold winters and inconsistent summer, so far. Also, I'm underwhelmed by the beaches surrounding the city. Thank you for your helpful comparison video. Both Brisbane and Perth sound amazing, but I think I have a bit more of a draw towards Perth. Also, I think I like the idea of it being so isolated.
I'm from London and now live in Perth. When you consider the important things in everyday life..climate, traffic, employment, crime (lack of), environment, space, air quality, restaurants, bars, beaches, scenery etc....Perth is pretty hard to beat on a global scale.
Sounds like you would definitely prefer Perth if you don’t mind the isolation. The beaches are fantastic and the weather’s pretty good too!
Perth has some of the best beaches in the world, not just Australia.
if you want beaches, Perth wins hands down.
I think Philippines wins it hands down about beaches.
As someone who lives in Perth and has been to Brisbane, I'd say this is a pretty fair review. I think all Australian cities are great places to live and have different things to offer.
As someone who has worked in all capitals and lived in a few of them I couldn't agree more.
smart objective lady, great review
Thank you!
Hi…..that was a great review….I live on the Central Coast NSW…My wife and I are moving to North of Perth in March this year. Can’t stand living on the Coast any longer…to many idiots around after “Covid” no common sense, inpatient drivers, and don’t get me started on public transport “clowns”…..My wife and I holiday in Perth in September 22 and absolutely loved the place, friendly people, Infrastructure is better, plenty of park space…..yes I know they hit you up in parking meters….sold our home in less than 2 Weeks and managed to pick up a 2018 built, 4 bedroom, ducted AC, with pool with all the modes and cons with change 💵 left over in a great area. 😊
Lived in both. Both nice and similar, but Brisbane and SE Queensland has more to offer. Brisbane is more expensive compared to Perth’s cheaper housing but that is driven by Queenslands post Covid population growth and popularity. Easy to pop to Sydney in a hour and a half or even Fiji or skiing in NZ in three hours.
Thanks Lisa! :)
No problem Marta!
Perth also has King Park
You can earn big money in WA due to mining. Less distance flying to Europe, Singapore, Africa, India, and Perth's favourite holiday spot Bali. It's cheap to fly there. Perth has been having a massive update over the past 5 years. Billions have been spent on improving and new infrastructure. It is a new modern up-dating city. WA is a prosperous state and has the money to improve. The only problem is people are moving to WA faster and services have difficulty keeping up with the volume of newcomers most from Europe and internal migration.
Possibly Perth has the cleanest air most days of any modern state in the world. Our worst days are when it is decided to do bush backburning.
WA population 2.667 million (Sep 2020). Perth population on 30th June 2022 is 2,225,710. Mil. WA population growth is approx 3% per year.
45 minutes to get to the Gold Coast and an hour to the Sunshine Coast from Brisbane. Not to mention the abundance of islands just off the coast of Brisbane as well
Perth is on the coast and has surf beaches accesable to the city in minutes. Also islands there as well.
@@bera0014Expensive asf
WA also has Rottnest Island
Qld has hundreds
In Qld there is alot of shows and activities to go to and it's very interesting.
These days all people talk about is climate. When I travelled in the 1980’s you went were the work was, no matter the climate.
You can keep your Brisbane floods it's a wonder boats aren't your first mode of transport. Perth has the most stable climate in Australia.

well, most of what you said resonates with me, so for anyone reading the comments, this is a good insight into the two cities ;)
Thank you!
Thanks for the videos. Please tell us where do you live right now?
No problem. I live in Sydney now.
Perth is a big city full of small towns.
The small town feel is very pronounced.
When people say how are you going, they really what's to know.
I moved to Perth after lived in Sydney 5 years, Canberra 1 year and Melbourne 11 years. Perth is beautiful city. I didn't feel any winds in Perth which are heavier than Melbourne.
Did you even leave the house in Perth???
So where do u like the most Melbourne or perth ?
And does perth have mountains like Melbourne?
@@User69390 100% Perth, only sad thing is missing all my friends in Melbourne. Perth offers a lot of shopping centres, cheap housing and very less traffic. So many things to do within 60 minutes of radius. Lastly, bad weather in Melbourne and a much better predictable whether in Perth.
Been all over Australia from Melbourne Perth hands down slightly pricey is the only concern food accommodations etc
Perth is lovely with good location and good for asean tourist or property investor like me guys.👍
Hi me and my girlfriend are moving to Perth but understand the renting market to be very competitive. We wanted to survey the market a bit before we go, so I thought I would ask whether you lease your properties?
I'm keen to make the move to Perth from Sydney, mainly to try get into the house market and also don't mind the laid back lifestyle. Can't see a downside other than leaving family.
Good on you. The housing market is certainly more appealing in Perth. Best of luck!
jobs booming in perth they need More people to relocate to perth aswell Im planning to go 2023
not sure what you mean by laid back life style, Perth is a mining city its on the go, never ending ,
I moved to Perth from Sydney in 2009, I used to work as a store man in Sydney for 5 years. After living in Perth for 1 year I managed to get a fifo job in mines, sine 2010 I've built 3 houses, I live in one and have 2 rentals properties. Perth has been the best move I've made in my life.
@@theend9494 laid back compared to other capital cities, but that's good.
One interesting fact i found about Brisbane and the entire east coast of Australia is that it's winter months are actually sunnier percentage wise than it's summer months. This only really happens on the east coast of Australia and east coast of South Africa so quite unique. In Western Australia it follows the typical sunnier in summer scenario so Perth summers are significantly sunnier than Brisbane while Brisbane in winter is significantly sunnier than Perth.
Yes! The more northern regions like Brisbane have the wet season in the summer, so it's much sunnier in winter. Sydney gets a bit more rain in summer than winter but not as drastically as further north. I didn't know South Africa has that too. Interesting!
Perth is the sunniest capital city on the planet though.
@@julzhunt7790 No there are a good few other national capitals that are Sunnier such as Abu Dhabi and Cairo however it would still be up there
@@Paddy234 Google ‘sunniest capital city in the world’ it’s Perth! Oh and that’s by a big margin compared to other Aussie capitals.
@@julzhunt7790 I have and what you have read on Google is obviously a tourism slogan In a similar way that says it never rains in LA. If you Google sunniest capital cities there are actually plenty more sunnier capital cities than Perth. In fact just search a city, go to it's Wikipedia page and look at the climate section as it gives the sunshine hours, you can see for yourself. Perth Is marginally sunnier than Darwin but a good bit sunnier than Brisbane and much sunnier than the other main cities
A greatly illuminating video to help us understand what each city has to offer. As I have said before, until your comparison videos, even locals are likely to be confused as to what it is great about their own city in particular. :) I lived in Perth 18 years ago. I thought I would like prefer it due to the smaller size though it didn't work out that way as I found the city centre not that appealing and I felt too isolated there though of course the beaches and the place in general is great. :) If I went there now, I may feel different but my life is too linked to Sydney now to even consider it.
Thanks Marta. I prefer Sydney's city centre too, and its location. Perth certainly has some beautiful beaches though.
Queensland gets storms and other parts of South East Queensland get storms and rain. Most (90%) weather doesn't reach Brisbane CBD. It goes North, South, East, West or disappears before reaching Brisbane CBD, unfortunately. Very sad
Brisbane and Perth have different climates. Brisbane has a subtropical climate with hot and humid summers, while Perth has a Mediterranean climate that is a bit cooler and drier . Brisbane experiences more humidity compared to Perth. The winters in Brisbane are shorter than in Perth, and Brisbane is more sheltered from the cold than other southern capitals.
Perth has hotter, drier summers than Brisbane with less humidity but more wind. Conversely, Brisbane has warmer, drier winters than Perth. Both cities get plenty of sunshine throughout the year, and Brisbane gets heavier downpours of rain.
For a detailed comparison of the weather in Brisbane and Perth, you can refer to this [source].
Was interested in moving to Adelaide after visiting from the UK but Perth is now looking like the best bet. Much easier to fly to from UK and more job opportunities/better pay with similar cost of living
Perth is the best!
Adelaide is nice but be warned of their heatwaves

Perth is lovely! And yes, cuts a few hours off your flight from the UK.
Adelaide is exquisite. Very very elegant and charming and European unlike the other cities. It vibes in all 4 seasons whereas Perth is def a summer city.
As someone who lives in Perth, Perth is a great choice. However, I think any Australian city is a good choice when it comes down to it - as long as you can afford it.
I only spent 13 years in Brissie and left in 2010 so take this for what you will. IMO, SE Qld has been a victim of it's own success and many people trying to escape the problems of our larger cities bought those problems with them. Traffic and youth crime aren't unique to Brisbane or the Gold Coast, but throw in the housing crisis and any future 'refugees' really need to temper their expectations. On the positive side, that skyline does look great during Riverfire.
I love AUSTRALIA!! Hi from BRAZIL
Me too! Hi from Aus!
Interesting. I lived there for 5 years, but left for Canada instead. Better opportunities, not as hot to work in.
There are so many Brazilians in Queensland. The flight from Brazil to Australia takes super long though.

I am from Perth but have lived in Brisbane for 22 years. Very similar feel, both friendly and I love them both the same. I lived in Sydney for 6 months and left in that time and went back to Brisbane. Sydney was not for me.

I was born in Brisbane and now live in Perth. Prefer Perth...better lifestyle.
hi Fiona,
may i get some insights on why u feel Perth offers better lifestyle than Brisbane?
@@vive928 classier for a start
Local Government (Council): Unlike Sydney/Melbourne/Perth/Adelaide, Brisbane City Council controls a larger portion of its metropolitan area. Brisbane City Council is Australia's largest council by population with over 1million living within the Brisbane City Council boundaries.
The Brisbane City Council has a larger operating budget (over $1billion) to manage water, waste and other council services. The Brisbane City Council operates over 500 suburban buses making Brisbane City Council the busiest and largest council in terms of service and infrastructure operations.
I was born in Perth, but spent 10 years on the eastern seaboard of the country, which included 3 years in the Brisbane area. It would be correct to say I'm prejudiced when it comes to a choice, but it would also be correct to say that I feel justified in my reasoning when promoting Perth as the premier city of the two for a whole raft of reasons. It is telling that when deciding to raise a family my first thoughts was to return to Perth as the preferred option for child rearing. For a start, while the climate may entertain similar temperatures, you get NOTHING like the humidity of Brisbane in Perth. You also don't get hail the size of golf balls. I once saw a 5 min hail storm do over $3 million damage to an airfield in Brisbane. You can swim in the waters off Perth without worrying about jellyfish that can kill. Sharks, yes, but they occur in both areas. Nor do we have a Fraser Island with dingoes running rampant. The Quokkas may give you a cheeky grin though... There is way more to Perth than beaches and pretty scenery; if you think otherwise then you really haven't bothered to look. In the main I have found Perth people to be more generous of heart than Brisbanites. Evidence of this, for example, is the longest running Telethon on television when compared to ..... literally anywhere else on earth! Every single year since it's inception has seen record levels of donations. My own experience of living in Brisbane or the Gold Coast has been that people are OK so long as you have a buck in your pocket.
❤
I think I should also add that probably any city in Australia is preferable to most other places [countries] around the world. While I have my preferences, I have to say that having lived and worked in Perth, Brisbane, Melbourne and visited/worked in Sydney, Canberra and Adelaide, none of them are bad. Each have their pluses and minuses [Yes, even Perth! though I hate to say it] but by and large Australia is a truly great place to live and bring up a family.
What killer jellyfish are in Brisbane.
@@trevorwilson2966 You have a point, although they have been reported as far south as Hervey Bay. Similarly with Fraser Island too. Both areas are known visitation locations for tourists travelling to Brisbane, however, which is why I pointed them out. I could equally have compared Melbourne where I lived for over 4 years but that wasn't showcased by the video. I get that you are defending your own backyard so to speak. Fair Enough. Having lived in both locations [for just over 3 years in Brisbane's case], however, I know where my own preferences lie.
Perth is the sunniest city in the world and the third windiest. That wind is caused by the heat rising off the desert during the day. Its not as pronounced in winter. That wind is also why the best sailors come from perth.
The big upside is perth is not disgustingly humid like brisbane. We have mosquitos but nothing like brisbane. Perth is also on asia’s timezone and - heres what eastern staters often overlook - is far closer to asia. Perth may be the most isolated capital city in the world but the melbourne sydney brisbane triangle is actually more isolated than perth.
The worst thing about perth is that while it is easiest the best place to raise a family career opportunities tend to be a bit limited since the city is very focussed on mining and mining industry services.
Thank you for commenting. This is all useful and balanced.
Lived in Perth for two years and never noticed any wind. I'm from the west of Ireland though where you'll blow away if you're not careful.
@@eddym2679 LOL. How can you live here for two years and not notice the wind? A little bit too much of the craic?
@@tileux I wouldn't call it wind, more of a light breeze.
@@eddym2679 Mate, Im starting to think youve never lived here. When the doctor comes in its not light. Nor is it a breeze.
You can also fly to other towns within Western Australia 1-3hour flights both north & south of WA to explore 1000’s of great tourist attractions, you could do family holidays 4x per year for 5 years without leaving WA & see something new each time.
The temperature in Perth can reach 45- 46 degrees in summer & that's normal. 31 degrees is more like our spring season.There is a period in summer that it is humid like Brisbane due to the cyclones up north. Autumn is our windy season not summer. We have Rottnest island.
Rotto 😂 what an absolute shithole of rock in the middle of the ocean
@@dontbeasheeple5883 jealousy is a curse.
@@Boozoobajou1 I submit to you the following Qld islands that sh1t all over that barren piece of rock called "Rotto":
Fraser Island
Whitsunday Islands
Stradbroke Islands
Hamilton Island
Great Keppel Island
Magnetic Island.
There are of course many many more. But you get my point.
You didn’t touch on the weather events in qld. Eg. flooding and cyclones
Wheres best to live in Queensland and WA if you don't drive but want public transport /accessibility to city but also quiet life too?! Xx
Anywhere near a train station. For Perth I'll specifically single out South Fremantle, Victoria Park, Canning Bridge precinct, anywhere along the Fremantle Line, and funny enough parts of the suburb of Perth, and East Perth
any comparison for Homelessness issue for Perth and Brisbane??
I personally noticed more in Perth than Brisbane, and a few people have commented the same. It seems to be mainly in the CBD though.
well done - sounds like i cant really lose in either location tbh.
Thanks! I'm sure you'd love both places.
Interesting comments regarding floods in Brisbane, Brisbane does have floods however it doesn t flood everywhere, Perth is prone to bush fires and has recently had serious fires, its a tradeoff in some ways.
Brisbane is a huge city geographically one of the largest cities on the planet, 15,826 sq kilometers, so to take figures and apply temps, rain, nightime temps and compare is inaccurate as there is a fair variation in rainfall, temps, humidity and geography.
Perth is comparatively smaller at 6,418 sq kilometers.
Both are great cities to live in, the beaches of far Northern NSW, Gold Coast and Sunshine coast are superb and compare with any on the planet.
Perth also has great beaches nort and south.
Areas to the Nth, Sth and west of Brisbane are beautiful with a huge variety of terrain, the Scenic Rim area to the SW area of Brisbane was named as one of the top 10 places to visit in the world by Lonely Planet recently.
I found Perth more isolated, From Brisbane cheap and easy flights to Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide, Cairns, Townsville etc anywhere other than SE Asia is an expensive flight from Perth.
Very long drive to visit other Australian cities and states from Perth.
Flights to New Zealand very inexpensive from Brisbane and Gold Coast
Perth and Brisbane are both set on excellent rivers with lots to do.
Lots of English and expat South Africans congregate in Perth, Brisbane somewhat more cosmopolitan in my opinion.
I prefer Brisbane hinterland lifestyle, and the easy access to the very varied areas of the Eastern states personally but everyone will have their bias.
Just my take!
I am planning to move to Perth from Melbourne ? Melbourne is beautiful but weather is horrible and traffic is bad .
What's your motivation for moving?
I love the layout of Melbourne, so easy to get around and lots to see, but as a tourist the graffiti and homeless is a turnoff. Homelessness is a small problem in Perth CBD, hopefully the authorities don't let it get out of control.
Perth is great and truly one of the best locations on the planet. Look me up when you get here and I'll buy you a welcoming beer.
@@ceramicsaustralia5188 Can I still claim said beer if I already live in Perth, or do terms and conditions apply?
@@_arman_ Unfortunately strict terms apply to locals.
Perth is the best capital city in the world to live. WA is simply amazing, so much to see in this beautiful big state. Don't tell anyone shhhhh, its our best kept secret.
To many people moving to Perth now, wish they would bugger off back to the east.
Brisbane is much better if you want to be connected to the rest of the country and the world. It also has a distinctive culture and architecture found nowhere else. It is significantly larger than Perth once you factor in the 2 coasts on your doorstep, which adds another million people.
Agreed, there is still some cool old architecture in Brisbane.
Qld style house looks gruesome 🤮🤮
Brisbane has good beaxhes just have to explore more
Stop Responding
According to a survey conducted by Canstar Blue in August 2023, the average weekly grocery bill for Australian households is $160 1. However, this figure varies depending on the state, household size, and supermarket. For instance, the average weekly grocery bill in Queensland is $165 1.
I'm a QLDer but really enjoyed my Perth days. I think Perth is better overall, only detractors is it's geographically isolated, even in timezone differences, therefore collaborations with other Aus cities are a bit more difficult. The colder, wetter winters were very different, as was the 4pm "Fremantle Doctor". QLD has fallen behind due to a faulty Premier and very conservative government, not adaptable at all to what the Australian people want.
Labor's been in power for years
Conservative? We want it more conservative, the Premier is a fkn liberal idiot
Both of them are perfect
Is it easy to get around Perth without a car? I won’t be able to get a car at first as I’ll be job hunting and apartment hunting
Unfortunately Perth isn't lifestyle friendly to those without a car. The metro area postwar was planned much more for cars than people 🤦
There aren't a lot of suburbs in Perth that you can live completely unhindered without a car. The city CBD, Fremantle, South Fremantle, near suburban train stations etc All fine if you work near a public transport hub or station, but not great if you work or want to make trips across the metro area. Buses are annoying and the trains all head to the city centre, only now are they building the metro areas first east-west cross-suburban rail route, but it's too far from the CBD to count as a bypass.
Adelaide and Brisbane are in the same bracket as Perth for non-car options. Costs aside Melbourne, Sydney have far more suburbs that one can live happily without a car. Sydney has the most options, while Melbourne has the trams
Only if you live near Perth's CBD because of free CAT buses from East to West Perth and throughout the city. Also, you don't pay fares on the Department of Transport city buses if it's within the city limits - similar to the free CAT buses.
Brisbane for me! But I can't go past Perth beaches!
No mention of Fremantle?
As a Brit who's lived in Perth for 20 years, but nowhere else (family is here), Perth is parochial and conservative and very suburban in attitude and physically. But it's also got amazing natural beauty. Summer is definitely more active than winter. But if you're from the main population areas in Europe you'll feel the isolation. At the moment it costs around $1000 for a return plane trip out of the state. Including going to the eastern cities. Bali I think is cheaper. You're lucky if you can get a return flight to London for $1700 return. Typically about $2000. So be warned!
If Perth is so conservative, why did they keep electing Marxist governments?
@@connorduke4619 They don't! McGowan is tge epitome of centrist. In some areas he's right of centre, in others a bit left. He's absolutely no Marxist. Does he have slight authoritarian leanings? Maybe. But authoritarian isn't a left or right, capitalism or socialist thing. When you look back at his stance over covid, he was pretty harsh with mandatory jabs for working in certain jobs. But his lockdown was less stringent than VIC, and we opened up only a month after other states.
@@danellis-jones1591 Thanks for the feedback, I don't live in WA and only noted McGowan acted likes a despicable Andrews clone during much of Covid. It is possible he has more humanlike and even centrist traits in other matters. I will note that all the world's "great"authoritarians came form the far left though: Stalin, Mao, head of the German national socialist party Hitler, likewise Mussolini, Pol Pot, Fidel Castro, Kim Jun Un, etc.
@@connorduke4619 Hitler wasn't a leftist, like the Democratic Republic of Germany (East Germany), wasn't exactly democratic.
@@danellis-jones1591 In disrupting the functioning of free markets and coercing companies to do his bidding, Hitler was the poster child of a fascist (externally violent) socialist (meddler with free markets).
Perth wins hands down. No contest.
You never left the state have ya? Get of your retirement village you silly old woman!... 🤡🤮🤦♂️
@@thrusta100😂😂😂😂
@@thrusta100 Actually I’ve lived in 5 different countries. I’ve had as many addresses as years I’ve been alive. I’ve also been to QLD, SA and NT. WA craps over all of them.
Just because I said I prefer Perth there is no need for you to be rude and insulting… it’s pathetic and disrespectful. 🙄
No contest ok you can keep Dullsville.
@@trevorwilson2966 ok I’d rather have Dullsville’ than ‘Perfect one day, flooded the next’
Brisbane perth sydney and adelaide are all beautiful in their own way dont bother with the other cities
so much rain, humidity and bugs in Brisbane, and no beaches, Sydney's the same but it has some beaches ( small and crappy though )
Bugs? Sheesh hate them in Qld. Saw them last night June ‘23
Tasmanian here, been to both and must say I prefer Perth. Only downside is its isolation from the rest of Aus
Does Perth have an equivalent of the Gold Coast? Because I live on the GC and it's marvelous.
@@zeropoint546 I don't know, I don't live in Perth. Do your research.
Thats the best part. Its further from those shitholes and closer to Europe and Asia
@@zeropoint546I thought it was but totally not
Gold coast has beautiful sunset and beaches that comfortable to play with.
Beaches in Perth are often too windy.
And Perth is horriblely sunny and dry
Gold coast has the best climate in Australia
@@zeropoint546 Mandurah
This is like comparing apples and oranges, as they are totally different climates
The most important factor is the composition of the air in a particular spot -- the percent of deadly carbon monoxide, and of other gases and particles, for example coal dust. Any report ought to feature this knowledge above all other bits of information.
My favourite part of living in Brisbane is the warm, dry, sunny winter months. Bit chilly in the evening and morning but lovely warm sunshine between 9 and 3 even in midwinter. February and March though are hot and humid with warm and sticky nights. Thank heavens for aircon.
Summer bills are damn expensive
Perth is windy in the summer? I live here. Please direct me to where the wind is! ?
Anywhere along the scarp in the morning! We get roaring easterly winds in the morning and often need to pick up our bins. I work in Kwinana and we get good sea breezes in the afternoon
You need to speak to Dr Freemantle.
@@emceeboogieboots1608 i live in Perth Hills. The only wind we get is if I'm a bit gassy
@@Andrey_Pushbike I should have noted the bottom of the scarp. At least it is from Armadale to Serpentine.
I would have thought it was windy up top as well, but clearly it is mostly as the easterly drops down to the coastal plain
I am from Canada. I'd like to live in Perth pr outside of Perth 3 months a year. Where is the cheap but good place to rent a condo? I like beaches and driving. Thanks.
The West is best ..love the east coast it's amazing but overpopulated.
Hi, were finding it really hard to decide where to move to from the UK. Perth is my first choice. I have 3 daughters, 2 of whom are 18 and 19. Is there enough for them in Perth?
I would say yes. It’s still a decent-sized city, even if it’s not the biggest in Australia. There’s nightlife and great places for day trips etc. Also it’s not far to fly to Bali, which I imagine is popular with people of that age.
Plenty of Indian men to choose from...👍🏿
There is no comparison. Perth is the best city in Australia by a country mile. Weather in Brisbane is awful.
@@KaiserSoze357 lol
Perth is full of poms and they dont intergrate.
I’m a Brisbane girl but I have been to Perth where the weather was so torrential the airport was closed and our flight delayed 24hrs but as the rentals and houses are now like hens teeth and super expensive here in Brissy, I say Perth, go the Perth. Heheheh😉💕
The rental market is no better in Perth. Rental properties are very difficult to find! Torrential rain is not common in Perth either.
it sounds like you came at a terrible time.
Wow..this is good info..thinking of moving to AUS soon
Okay first of all thanks for videos and I am in India right now and I have both choices to move UK London or Australia Sydney/Perth now could you please share where should I be moving next n why with some bullet points which you like?
Stay in India.
I live in Perth, the major industry is mining , but there is a lot of IT etc, you wont see a busier booming city. we never seem to get too much affected by downturns in the world economy , I work with a number of Indians and we get on very well, I am Scottish. The weather is very hot in the summer, the winters are wet and cool to cold. I am off to Bali for Xmas , :)

I wish holy soul of Queen give some enlighten these racist children who studied from her school..
Perth & the SW is windy. It's become much more windy in recent years and the winters longer. Australia \ the Pacific is currently in the La Nina part of the climate cycle so the SW in particular is cooler than normal. It's a lovely part of Australia and a lovely part of the world. If you want to get away from the crowds it's a good place to be.
The SW wind is very welcome on those hot summer days, helps cool things down. I live about 50 kms south of Perth so I know what it is like.
La Niña bye bye it’s gone now. Wet and cold on the Sunshine Coast last year
