I moved from the UK to Perth in 2005, Perth is always building and improving, it’s been a great place to live, no regrets, much better life here than what the UK could offer
Hats, guys. You can thank me in 20 years when you dont get skin cancers. In the meantime that will stop you getting heat exhaustion and 3rd degree sunburn. Its harder to sleep well when its warm. Try running your air conditioning in the bedroom at night. Youve probably already sorted this, but for your internet in an apartment you should have a weird little metal box on a wall. Thats your nbn box. Talk to an internet provider and get your internet plan. They’ll send a modem to you. Plug that into the nbn box and youre good to go. Just log onto your modem wi-fi. If your apartment was built to take internet cables to each room (handy for the tv and pvp gaming) just use the splitter on your modem to route the cables into the wall sockets and plug your tv ethernet/or ps5 into the room lan plug. If you dont have an nbn box the internet provider will arrange for NBN to instal one but you need to get your landlord to approve that because its a fixture. But most places these days already have an NBN box. Mind the lid, because its fiddly to open and close. Ps is your vehicle a short wheel base? If so, be VERY careful on dirt roads and tracks. The high centre of gravity on them makes them more likely to flip. In case youre unaware, most of our road fatalities are on country roads. Soft shoulders, speed, inappropriate vehicles and vehicle handling account for most of that. I believe the soft shoulders is a big surprise to foreigners. Because of the heavy rains we get when its wet, bitumen shoulders can deteriorate badly, leaving the bitumen pretty chunky. Hit that at speed when youre not expecting it and it can pull the wheel right out of your hands.
Welcome! It was particularly nice to see your apology about making light of the bushfire situation. You've won a subscriber here. Bushfires and floods are the bane of our existence in many parts of Australia and most of us have either been affected or have family and friends who have. Again, welcome and I hope your new life lives up to your expectations.
good evening; I continually talk about bush fires and floods. I used to watch these events as a child each year.....No one cared; and then we built houses in the forests and suburbs on the flood plains......and guess what happened.....we suddenly have catastrophe's.
Welcome to our little country. West Oz has some of the best sunsets you will ever see, & remember suncream is a must in Australia, multiple applications in a day.
Welcome to the land of BIG. Big beaches, big distances, big sunsets. About bushfires; I've been caught in two in my life, they are terrifying. And knowing that your life is at the mercy of God, and in those moments you are pretty much helpless is not something I would wish on anyone. You were right to turn back. And I appreciate your apology for being a bit flippant in the earlier bushfire parts of your video. You are not in Kansas now Toto, but in the land of Oz. And the start of the best life adventure you both will ever have. Welcome, enjoy!
Welcome to Perth. We moved here 16 years ago. We lived in Wimborne for many years, so have very fond memories of Dorset. We are old and live in the Hills, but if you get homesick and want to talk 'Dorset', give us a shout.
Get used to the wind! The west coast is characterised by it, but it is good for keeping you cool and deterring the flies from landing. You'll come to love the Fremantle Doctor!
I've been here in OZ since 1986, home sickness is a thing, but you have to fight through it, I'm sure more good things than bad things are going to happen to you, Australia is a great place, good luck.
Glad you learnt the message about taking the bush seriously I always remember a English family driving from Sydney to Adelaide and they perished when the car boiled and then they left the car to walk. A few lessons to be learnt and you will be all OK. Welcome and enjoy your your new home.
Actually that's a great point. The number one golden rule in Australia is if your car breaks down when you are outside a metro area you stay with it. People are impossible to see from a plane or a helicopter, cars are visible. People can and do die.
Welcome to Perth, you'll have about four months of relentless blue skies to enjoy. Don't worry about all the 'everything here wants to kill you' nonsense, it's grossly exaggerated. You won't see snow or ice here either. I moved to Western Australia from the UK in 1995, and have lived in the Perth Hills for twenty years... I wouldn't live anywhere else.
Hope you love Australia as much as I do. I moved from England to Australia 6 years ago you won't regret it. I'm in central Queensland now, moved away from Brisbane as property was getting too expensive. Haven't been to Perth yet. All the best in your Australian venture 😊
You took us back some 42 years when we emigrated from Ferndown and settled in Sydney Wishing you both every success in your new journey we will follow your blog with interest
Welcome to Perth! I’m a fellow Perthie so if you need any advice just shout! As you discovered, Aussies do tend to be an early to bed/early to rise culture. It drives me mad as a rare night owl 😂
Me and my family moved to Perth 20 years ago , my husband , three teenagers and the family dog , so glad we did , although it wasn’t all rainbows, absolutely worth it , the summer heat can be brutal, but everything comes a price , the majority of the time it’s bright and beautiful.Good luck , enjoy.
You could see her really cheer up as the days passed. Sunshine is good for the spirits especially after gloomy England. I see people suffering from depression in England and Canada, and I just say, Move to a sunny beachside town.
I find the long hot WA summer depressing. Being stuck indoors due to the heat is horrible . Thankfully the remaining 8 months of the year in Perth is wonderful .
@@linhofmann4913 Yeah, I visited Perth in December and liked the city and South Perth. But the beach and suburbs were a bit barren. Ideal life is a summer home and a winter home.
Hi again. I'll give you both a solid tip and echo other comments about sunscreen/sunburn and being sun smart. First, the tip. Buy light coloured clothing because dark colours attract flies. Buy a cotton blend for comfort in our heat, cotton doesn't absorb much moisture so it dry's easily and doesn't get heavy. A bonus tip, just about everything these days runs off lithium battery's. Our Aussie heat is not a lithium battery's best friend lol, especially the heat inside a parked car's cabin. I made a video some years ago, reviewing a gimbal and mentioned this (I will leave a link at the end of this comment) but basically getting a cooly aka chilly bag (insulated grocery bag) from the supermarket for about $2 will help protect your camera batteries, drone batteries etc. Don't even leave your smartphones inside a parked car. Lithium batteries have been known to swell in the heat which can cause damage to the device they're stored in. I personally can attest to the after a dash cam failed for this reason, now I only own a dashcam that's powered by a capacitor. I also use a small insulated bag that I can bring with me, I got it from a chemist's (pharmacy), it's actually meant for diabetics to carry their insulin pens but is perfect size for my action camera. It fits in a handbag, backpack, camera bag etc. ruclips.net/video/dss8V2T28yA/видео.html
Welcome to Oz, guys . Make sure at some time in the future you see all of Australia, you won't regret it. Prepare responsibly, it can be very dangerous, not from animals lol, but from the vastness and emptiness . You must have your own water as it is very scarce in some areas . Enjoy and be safe.
Welcome to Perth. Wishing you and your husband every success with your life in Australia. When you're out in the sun make sure you wear a large rimmed hat to protect your lovely peaches and cream complexion. 😊
Welcome to Australia where bushfires are something you do need to make sure you are educated about to ensure you stay safe. Also please make sure that you have plenty of fluids in the car including fuel if you are travelling a long distance - far too many European travellers get caught because they simply don't understand how harsh the land and climate can be
You will enjoy. But maybe you should have come a couple of months earlier. That way, you can get used to the weather. Today it's only about 32 and usually a bit warmer in the hills.. Remember sunscreen
There's nothing like seeing people from the UK in our sun. Just remember the sun screen (cream). 50+ for that head mate. And a broad brim hat. An Akubra would be nice.
hi guys love ya vlogs , unfortunately bush fires are part of life here , when ya head north always carry a jerry can of water with you just in case ya break down or get lost , it gets hot out here
Welcome to Perth, this takes me back to when we moved here in 1988, a lot different then, no mobile phones no internet, best move we ever made, it’s going to be a scorcher today, slip slop slap 😁
It must have been such a relief flying over already securing a rental, it's a tough market out there at the moment, well assuming Perth would be no different to any other capital currently. Hope we get a house tour once you've settled in. Welcome and enjoy Perth, even though I'm in Brisbane, you certainly picked a winner city to settle in.
Welcome to my city , few hot days ahead , hope you settle in ok. Congrats on the rental , it's a tough market and you got one!! We get up early in Perth and early to bed 😂
Amusing to see a pair think that they could 'drive around' the bushfires in order to reach the Pinnacles, lol. Welcome to Australia, the outdoors is beautiful but be careful. I spoke to someone when we were in Manchester a few months ago - I said Perth was beautiful, you just had to watch for the sunburns, be well prepared with sunscreen and water, careful of snakes, the spiders, the blue ring octopus, the jellyfish, the FLIES, the mosquitos, and the sharks, the bushfires and the ross river virus. She decided to stay in Manchester!
Welcome to you both, i hope your move and job in WAPOL is successful and you enjoy Australia 😊 goodluck🎉 standby for some lovely Perth HOT weather....get big hats wide brimmed hats and wear 50+ sunscreen.
wow Hi to both of you. I was in Dorset just last week (when all the storms were happening) and loved it all in spite of the rain and the storm. I have been in Perth for 50+ years and still miss England heaps. I am not a hot weather person so its really too hot here for me in Perth BUT I have grown to love both places. Some people that move over say they never miss the UK and others like me really do miss it especially the seasons and the greenery everywhere. All the best for your new adventure. Which suburb did you get your house in? You were very lucky there as some people have been trying to get rentals for months and months. cheers Sonya
Welcome to Australia. I hope you enjoy it here. I also hope you get to experience more of Australia than just WA. I live in Queensland and really recommend that you travel to the eastern states as well. Perth is beautiful but there’s so much more to see. 😊😊😊
oooh, harsh time of the year to move to Perth. Been here since 2006 and this is maybe one of the hottest decembers I can remember. Usually ramps up from here to february. The Perth-Dubai-UK route is my favoured one and I try to sleep through one of those flights to get the timezones sorted, but yes it can take a while to get sorted. I guess depends which flight and when you landed...I'm thinking you landed middle of the night? You must get yourself a good hat/baseball cap and definitely so good SPF sunscreen - I usually get the factor 50. Also if you need glasses get some tinted ones of some clip on shades for them as that sunlight will cause headaches if you are not used to it
Perth, it's the best city in the world. The Mediterranean of Australia. Actually, I'm moving there permanently on the weekend from Brisbane. I've lived there, on and off, for the past 10 years, my home away from home. And, as of next week, my actual home.
Good luck young people, rentals are crazy high in Perth so hope you get employment quickly. Nice to have more English migrants who can immediately fit into Aussie society, again best wishes for your future downunder. Get ready for the southern sun.
I was talking to someone yesterday who lived in Cairns, then Melbourne. Arrived in Perth 2 years ago. She said she’s staying here for good. Sorry about Wednesday… 37 degrees… stay cool. Fortunately, we don’t have daylight saving so it’s not dark getting out early in the morning. Perth actually has about 20 minutes of permanent DS because our time line is 120 degrees which is 500 kms east of the city.
Welcome to Oz. Many people have done what you are doing now and documenting it is great for people who will do the same in the future. Word of the wise - everywhere you go - hats, wide brimmed. Sunscreen, lots of it and water, lots more of it. Snacks lots of them and it's a good idea to pack a first aid kit and keep it in the car. If you're into rescue of injured wildlife (and you will see a LOT of it), the local wildlife rescue service would love to hear from you, they also supply animal rescue kits to keep in your car. But at the very least, drag the carcass of the road and check for any young in pouches. Bushfires and Emergency Warnings - take them seriously. Hundreds of people have died because they couldn't out-run a bushfire. These things are incredibly dangerous. It's a learning curve and I'm sure your viewers learned a thing or two as well. And what the heck?? A Suzuki Jimny? OMG no, no no no nooooooooo.... oh the shame..... Western Australia is a fantastic state, beautiful and huge. Good luck with your new life here. :)
Welcome to Perth. I was born here but moved to the UK with my British husband in 1991 and moved back to Perth in 2019 with him and our daughter. Even for someone born and bred here, moving back was an admin nightmare so I feel lots of sympathy for what you’re going through. Fish and chips at Cott Mainas the sun sets is definitely a Perth only experience. I’m wondering if you’ve got anyone to spend Christmas with? Would you like to join a Perth family and experience a hybrid Christmas?
Welcome to Perth. Good that you have a morning beach routine already. Perth will get hot so expect high 36c to 42c in summer. A/C weather so you need to acclimatise before you should consider activities outdoors
Welcome to Australia, I wish both of you well and hope your blessed with the best of fortunes. I'm curious about something, why did you choose the west coast over the east coast or somewhere in between?
FYI Perth is the most isolated city in the world. Perth is known as a Little England as many English live there. A northern suburb has many of them. Perth gets very hot weather. Slip ,Slop, Slap, Wrap and Seek are taught to children from a young age. It means to slip on a shirt, slop on high factor sunscreen, slap on a wide brimmed hat, wrap on UV protecting sunglasses and seek shade to protect yourself from sunburn and skin cancer. Australia has the highest rate of skin cancer in the world due to the British fair skin ancestry and the fact that the pole tilts towards the sun in the southern hemisphere and sunshine is harsh. That includes on overcast days as the sun will still get you. It was worsened by a hole in the ozone layer over Oz but now that has mostly mended and moved south.. My parents emigrated from the UK in the early 1950s. We children are thankful that they did and feel blessed. My extended family live in the four eastern states, though a sibling lived in Perth for seven years. Australia is a wonderful and friendly country ! Welcome !
No, it's not. Honolulu is the most isolated capital city on earth . That's a fact. Perth is the 2nd most isolated city. True story. The hole in the ozone layer was never really over Australia. It was and still is over Antarctica
@@jayr4857 Perth is the most isolated capital in a COUNTRY in the world. Honolulu is on a tiny island in the ocean. The hole in the ozone layer WAS over Australia.
@barnowl. 🤣 nope , Hawaii is an American state, and Honolulu is its capital city. Perth in one of, not the. And Australia never had a hole in the ozone layer over it. Just the ozone layer is 5% thinner, like a few other countries. The hole is over Antarctica. Always has been, never ever been over Australia. So you can twist the argument any way you want. These are just facts. Have a nice day . 🙄🤦♂️
Welcome to Perth guys, I'm glad everything has gone smoothly so far. I don't know if you researched the bushfires, which may have prompted your voice over, it did get a bit hairy for some residents in that area but the volunteer fire fighters (firies) did a good job keeping everyone safe. Search on the following if you are interested in some extra footage and a news report on that situation. "Out-of-control bushfire threatens lives and properties north of Perth | ABC News" Also, just curious, if you're comfortable saying, what suburb did you end up renting in?
Ok, couple of tips, never , ever go down a dirt road if google maps directs you. Always stay on the bitumen unless you have an appropriate 4WD and you have a clear idea of your route. Also wear a hat. Surprised you dont mention the flies which are pretty bad this year due to late rains, Ive lived here most of my life and they driving me nuts.
You better protect that dome, Mate. Skin cancer in aus is no joke.
Typical Aussie always bad I’m impressed how Aussies are so brainwashed on everything like the sun rays are different from the rest of the world
I moved from the UK to Perth in 2005, Perth is always building and improving, it’s been a great place to live, no regrets, much better life here than what the UK could offer
Hats, guys. You can thank me in 20 years when you dont get skin cancers. In the meantime that will stop you getting heat exhaustion and 3rd degree sunburn.
Its harder to sleep well when its warm. Try running your air conditioning in the bedroom at night.
Youve probably already sorted this, but for your internet in an apartment you should have a weird little metal box on a wall. Thats your nbn box. Talk to an internet provider and get your internet plan. They’ll send a modem to you. Plug that into the nbn box and youre good to go. Just log onto your modem wi-fi. If your apartment was built to take internet cables to each room (handy for the tv and pvp gaming) just use the splitter on your modem to route the cables into the wall sockets and plug your tv ethernet/or ps5 into the room lan plug.
If you dont have an nbn box the internet provider will arrange for NBN to instal one but you need to get your landlord to approve that because its a fixture. But most places these days already have an NBN box. Mind the lid, because its fiddly to open and close.
Ps is your vehicle a short wheel base? If so, be VERY careful on dirt roads and tracks. The high centre of gravity on them makes them more likely to flip. In case youre unaware, most of our road fatalities are on country roads. Soft shoulders, speed, inappropriate vehicles and vehicle handling account for most of that. I believe the soft shoulders is a big surprise to foreigners. Because of the heavy rains we get when its wet, bitumen shoulders can deteriorate badly, leaving the bitumen pretty chunky. Hit that at speed when youre not expecting it and it can pull the wheel right out of your hands.
Enjoy Australia and in particular WA. WA has some beautiful wildflowers and Birdlife. Welcome
Your beautiful black parrots 🙏

especially this time of year

Welcome to Perth! Remember your sunscreen, don't forget our shops have some weird hours on the weekends and enjoy every moment of your new adventure.
Enjoy Perth and it’s surrounds ♥️
Welcome to Australia….i love Perth
Welcome to Perth! We moved here over a year ago and totally love it here!
Welcome! You'll love it here. But beware, it's gonna be REALLY hot this week! Lots of sunscreen :)
Watching the sun set over the sea is something us East Coasters don't get to do 😞
Welcome to Perth. We moved here 16 years ago. We lived in Wimborne for many years, so have very fond memories of Dorset. We are old and live in the Hills, but if you get homesick and want to talk 'Dorset', give us a shout.

You came at a good time with the weather. Enough to get acclimatised before the heat comes.
Welcome to Perth
Welcome to Aus. We are from Aylesbury Bucks. Been here 12 yrs south of Perth. So many stunning places for you to see. Stay cool, it's so hot. X
Two brave people. Good luck with your move to Perth. I am enjoying following your journey.
Welcome to Perth guys, enjoy this great state.
Hope you love Australia as much as I do. I moved from England to Australia 6 years ago you won't regret it.
I'm in central Queensland now, moved away from Brisbane as property was getting too expensive.
Haven't been to Perth yet. All the best in your Australian venture 😊
Welcome too Australia,, Just look after your selves,,enjoy..
You took us back some 42 years when we emigrated from Ferndown and settled in Sydney

Welcome to Perth, I know it will go against grain, but avoid the mid day sun.
Your going to love the winter even more.
Welcome to Perth ❤
Couldn’t have gotten a better contrast between an English winter and the start of our Australian summer 😁

Minor suggestion, might want to buy hats... Sun in Australia is stronger... Enjoy!!
Good suggestion, but make sure it has a wide brim. Caps provide no protection at all.

Welcome, from Sydney. I just subscribed, can’t wait to share your journey.👍🇦🇺
Welcome to Oz, guys . Make sure at some time in the future you see all of Australia, you won't regret it. Prepare responsibly, it can be very dangerous, not from animals lol, but from the vastness and emptiness . You must have your own water as it is very scarce in some areas . Enjoy and be safe.
Welcome to Australia from a fellow Brit who lives over in Brisbane. Hope your life here is everything you hope it to be.
Hope your move is a great success. Good luck to you both!
I emigrated in 2007. Used to teach at West Moors Middle school. Know Ferndown very well.
Perth is beautiful and you’ll love it here.
Whack a rooftop tent on the Jimny, a bit of camping gear in the back and you will have awesome experiences
Welcome to Perth. Wishing you and your husband every success with your life in Australia. When you're out in the sun make sure you wear a large rimmed hat to protect your lovely peaches and cream complexion. 😊

Good luck with the move. You’ve chosen a very hot time to move to Perth. It’s a great place but scorching at the moment
Enjoy Perth, its going to be very hot today and tomorrow. Good luck.
Perth and fremantle are the go for sure, you'll be tanned and surfing in no time yeeeoowwwwwww☝️🇦🇺🏖🌏🤘🇳🇿🇬🇧🍻⚘️🥇
I have a feeling you're in for a rude surprise with the heat that's coming ... Beautiful place though ❤
You will enjoy. But maybe you should have come a couple of months earlier. That way, you can get used to the weather. Today it's only about 32 and usually a bit warmer in the hills..
Remember sunscreen
There's nothing like seeing people from the UK in our sun. Just remember the sun screen (cream). 50+ for that head mate. And a broad brim hat. An Akubra would be nice.

Well done guys, this is a very brave move you've made. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts as you go about living in Aus!
Welcome to Australia!! I hope you love it here!!
hi guys love ya vlogs , unfortunately bush fires are part of life here , when ya head north always carry a jerry can of water with you just in case ya break down or get lost , it gets hot out here
Okay so you have learned a lesson about the seriousness of bushfire. Bunnings snag fish and chips on the beach. Yeah, you'll be alright
I'm in Perth in Shenton Park not far from Cottesloe beach.
Welcome to Perth, this takes me back to when we moved here in 1988, a lot different then, no mobile phones no internet, best move we ever made, it’s going to be a scorcher today, slip slop slap 😁

You get heaps of Jacaranda trees in WA as well, that's cool.
They do, but they’ve just missed the major flowering periods.
Welcome to my city , few hot days ahead , hope you settle in ok. Congrats on the rental , it's a tough market and you got one!! We get up early in Perth and early to bed 😂
Lovely, and it's just getting into beach swimming weather here (I'm near Fremantle, WA - same lovely swimming as Cottesloe)

Perth, it's the best city in the world. The Mediterranean of Australia. Actually, I'm moving there permanently on the weekend from Brisbane. I've lived there, on and off, for the past 10 years, my home away from home. And, as of next week, my actual home.
Good luck young people, rentals are crazy high in Perth so hope you get employment quickly. Nice to have more English migrants who can immediately fit into Aussie society, again best wishes for your future downunder. Get ready for the southern sun.
Yay your first bushfire, welcome to Australia
Welcome Lovely Couple💕💙🙏🙏I hope you enjoy your selves and feel at home 🥰
A great video. Welcome.
Good on you congratulations and your very welcome to come here
Welcome. Hats will be needed
I was talking to someone yesterday who lived in Cairns, then Melbourne. Arrived in Perth 2 years ago. She said she’s staying here for good.
Sorry about Wednesday… 37 degrees… stay cool.
Fortunately, we don’t have daylight saving so it’s not dark getting out early in the morning. Perth actually has about 20 minutes of permanent DS because our time line is 120 degrees which is 500 kms east of the city.
Welcome to Oz. Many people have done what you are doing now and documenting it is great for people who will do the same in the future.
Word of the wise - everywhere you go - hats, wide brimmed. Sunscreen, lots of it and water, lots more of it. Snacks lots of them and it's a good idea to pack a first aid kit and keep it in the car. If you're into rescue of injured wildlife (and you will see a LOT of it), the local wildlife rescue service would love to hear from you, they also supply animal rescue kits to keep in your car. But at the very least, drag the carcass of the road and check for any young in pouches.
Bushfires and Emergency Warnings - take them seriously. Hundreds of people have died because they couldn't out-run a bushfire. These things are incredibly dangerous. It's a learning curve and I'm sure your viewers learned a thing or two as well.
And what the heck?? A Suzuki Jimny? OMG no, no no no nooooooooo.... oh the shame.....
Western Australia is a fantastic state, beautiful and huge. Good luck with your new life here. :)
Welcome to Perth. I was born here but moved to the UK with my British husband in 1991 and moved back to Perth in 2019 with him and our daughter. Even for someone born and bred here, moving back was an admin nightmare so I feel lots of sympathy for what you’re going through.
Fish and chips at Cott Mainas the sun sets is definitely a Perth only experience.
I’m wondering if you’ve got anyone to spend Christmas with? Would you like to join a Perth family and experience a hybrid Christmas?
Welcome to Perth, the best city in Australia. 😁
Welcome to Perth.
Welcome to Perth. Good that you have a morning beach routine already. Perth will get hot so expect high 36c to 42c in summer. A/C weather so you need to acclimatise before you should consider activities outdoors
Just moved to Fremantle myself and Cottesloe is pretty cool
goodness, you have experienced most conditions in Australia in the first week you are here. 😉😉😉😉
Great to see you using the independent Palace Cinema's we have one near us here in Melbourne. You guys are all over this.
Super interested in your Perth WA opinions. I’m visiting over Christmas and never been there.
No need to apologise, you did precisely the right thing for a bushfire, turn around, stay away, look after yourself.
You purchased a Jimny , perfect car , you should join Jimny group for great trips like us in our Jimny .
Welcome to Australia, I wish both of you well and hope your blessed with the best of fortunes. I'm curious about something, why did you choose the west coast over the east coast or somewhere in between?
FYI Perth is the most isolated city in the world. Perth is known as a Little England as many English live there. A northern suburb has many of them. Perth gets very hot weather. Slip ,Slop, Slap, Wrap and Seek are taught to children from a young age. It means to slip on a shirt, slop on high factor sunscreen, slap on a wide brimmed hat, wrap on UV protecting sunglasses and seek shade to protect yourself from sunburn and skin cancer. Australia has the highest rate of skin cancer in the world due to the British fair skin ancestry and the fact that the pole tilts towards the sun in the southern hemisphere and sunshine is harsh. That includes on overcast days as the sun will still get you. It was worsened by a hole in the ozone layer over Oz but now that has mostly mended and moved south.. My parents emigrated from the UK in the early 1950s. We children are thankful that they did and feel blessed. My extended family live in the four eastern states, though a sibling lived in Perth for seven years. Australia is a wonderful and friendly country ! Welcome !
No, it's not. Honolulu is the most isolated capital city on earth . That's a fact. Perth is the 2nd most isolated city. True story. The hole in the ozone layer was never really over Australia. It was and still is over Antarctica
@@jayr4857 Perth is the most isolated capital in a COUNTRY in the world. Honolulu is on a tiny island in the ocean. The hole in the ozone layer WAS over Australia.
@barnowl. 🤣 nope , Hawaii is an American state, and Honolulu is its capital city. Perth in one of, not the. And Australia never had a hole in the ozone layer over it. Just the ozone layer is 5% thinner, like a few other countries. The hole is over Antarctica. Always has been, never ever been over Australia. So you can twist the argument any way you want. These are just facts. Have a nice day . 🙄🤦♂️
Hi-Lo is as close to Semi-skimmed as you’ll find. Full fat is blue top and skimmed is red top.
pepper steak pie , yummo. you know how to travel. from east coast.good luck...
No need to second guess yourself on the fire comments, All good.
Welcome to Perth guys, I'm glad everything has gone smoothly so far. I don't know if you researched the bushfires, which may have prompted your voice over, it did get a bit hairy for some residents in that area but the volunteer fire fighters (firies) did a good job keeping everyone safe. Search on the following if you are interested in some extra footage and a news report on that situation. "Out-of-control bushfire threatens lives and properties north of Perth | ABC News"
Also, just curious, if you're comfortable saying, what suburb did you end up renting in?
Ok, couple of tips, never , ever go down a dirt road if google maps directs you. Always stay on the bitumen unless you have an appropriate 4WD and you have a clear idea of your route. Also wear a hat. Surprised you dont mention the flies which are pretty bad this year due to late rains, Ive lived here most of my life and they driving me nuts.
