    As a British backpacker in 1998, I remember arriving in Perth and asking the guy at the Tourist Information Office, "What's the cheapest way to get to Rottnest Island?" and he replied, "Swim".
    That's when I knew I could move here! And I did 6 years later. 🙂

    I was living in Perth in 1981and was half way through my sojourn there. As someone who could usually pick up an accent really easily I had extreme difficulty working out how they actually spoke in the way they did. You, sir, did it perfectly. I have always thought they had to devise a way of speaking that avoided flies entering the moistness of their mouths.
