As someone from Perth I feel like I can say this, Perth doesn't have much of a skyline because its vertically challenged, but it stretches 80 miles from north to south. You can get some great views of the city if you head up to the hills on the east. You can make a day trip out there too due to the number of brewrys (Beer, cider, whisky, gin etc) orchards and farms. And theres lots of historical sites due to the suburbs in the east being some of the oldest in Perth

WA is much more laid back to the Eastern States. We affectionally say WA stands for “Wait Awhile”. I live south of Perth in the country, about 1.5 hours away. The South West region is well known for vineyards too….and I have been known to be involved in a winery tour or two in the Dunsborough or Margaret River region. We have surf competitions that attract world wide stars too, in Margaret River. If you love outdoors either walking in the bush or beautiful white sandy beaches we have an endless supply of those all along the coast. The sun sets over the beaches. Our sunsets are spectacular. Winter is milder in WA and we do not have as many serious fires or flooding that the Eastern States get either. I am not saying that it never happens, but they do not happen very often. We have the biggest State too, so there are so many different landscapes. The Kimberley region up North is spectacular as are the beautiful Karri and Jarrah forest in my South West region. Both are hard wooded trees and they are known to make some of the most beautiful furniture you could ever have. Check out the Valley of the Giants Tree Top Walk near Denmark WA. Albany down south also has a Great War Museum. This is where our ANZAC soldiers left Australia to head to war by boats back in the day. You’d need a whole day to immerse yourself here. It has letters that the soldiers wrote, and so much more. Broome (said like the Broom you use to sweep) has an event called Stairway to the Moon, they have a Pearl farm, gorgeous beaches etc. One downside is that travel is expensive here compared to the Eastern States. I’m a proud Aussie and love all of Australia. I’ve been lucky to travel a lot, including a three month stint of around 15,000 km from WA to South Australia, up to Darwin in the North of Northern Territory and then back to WA following the coast back home. I’ve also managed to head to all other States except Canberra. That one is still on my bucket list. it is all beautiful but there is nothing like home. Cheers fellas.

[@mrd4785]

The Swan Valley is nice but the best wineries are about 4 hours drive south in Margaret River, near the city of Busselton. The South West of WA is where everyone from Perth tends to holiday if they holiday in WA, so this tells you something if people are leaving a place as nice as Perth to go somewhere even nicer. It has everything from calm beaches to massive waves, to lots of fresh produce and tall, ancient forests. The Gold Coast is tropical, whereas Perth is temperate and has 4 distinct seasons but the winters are fairly mild. In terms of employment opportunities, Perth has a lot more. Gold Coast is a slower type of place that attracts a higher portion of retirees and holiday makers, whereas Perth is a major centre of commerce and a lot of major companies are based there or have significant offices and operations. WA consistently has the lowest unemployment rate of all of the Australian states and a lot of the federal taxes collected in the state are diverted to prop up the other states with weaker economies. A lot of people generalise about Perth being fairly mining centric, which has some truth, but there are a lot of other companies there like Wesfarmers, who own Bunnings, Kmart, Target, Officeworks and a few other retailers, as well as companies in other industries. There is a variety of housing in Perth and a lot of it is still affordable compared to places like Sydney. There are other cities in WA including Rockingham, Mandurah, Bunbury, Kalgoorlie-Boulder, Geraldton, Albany, Broome, Busselton, Port Hedland and Karratha, as well as a lot of towns throughout. A lot of people are choosing to live in these places and fly into the mines for work, so they have the optimum balance between solid income and lifestyle for their families. Some people even choose to live in Bali and then fly in for work up in the north of the state. My partner was a flight attendant from another state and for Phez's information, she rates ladies from Perth as hands down the most classy and attractive. After living interstate for a while, it is also sadly something I noticed from day 1 of leaving the state. Lots of English speaking people from outside of Australia, like the UK and South Africa, tend to choose Perth over all of the other capital cities to settle, so this might be a pointer for people from the US in terms of the appeal of the place. That $60M gold coin at the Perth Mint was displayed at the New York stock exchange a few short years back, after it was minted. A lot of Americans own gold in the vaults at the Mint and WA produces massive amounts of gold. I know people who go looking for the stuff in the outback just on their own for a few days at a time, as a lot is just sitting around the surface if you have an idea of where to look.

[@franchk8372]

Cottesloe is mentioned a lot as having 'the beach' but there are really so many that stretch forever that I much prefer. I like the northern beaches best, particularly Trigg where you have beautiful water, fantastic surf with quiet days as well, and the prettiest reef areas for snorkeling and exploring. The walk to Scarborough Bch on a warm still summer's day is perfect and the Trigg cafe makes the best coffee. Driving along the winding foreshore looking down on the rocks and on the glimmering ocean never tires. The sunsets are to die for. :)

The whole coast of WA is beautiful beaches, they just showed 1 of many in Perth. The Gold Coast is a long beach with high rise buildings all along it, as I remember it. This just showed a glimpse of Perth’s beauty. I have lived east and west in Australia and the whole country is beautiful and so diverse. WA has the advantage of taking up a complete side of the country so from the Kimberley to the Great Southern there is a myriad of diverse landscapes, all beautiful in their own way.

Those trees look like lemon scented gums or they might be some similar species. If they are lemon scented gums the leaves have a strong lemony scent and walking through the leaf litter stirs up the very pleasant aroma. The bark is smooth and white coloured because these trees shed their bark at one time each year. It comes off in layers from all oner the trunk and large branches leaving a smooth white trunk.

Yeah! Perth born, raised and still living here. It's a great place to live - friendly, quiet and laidback. As is suited for the most isolated city on Earth.

The trees lining the entrance into Kings Park are called white gums. I went to an art installation there one summer, and they projected images onto the huge tree trunks, and other vegetation throughout the park. It was spectacular. The war memorial is inside the park overlooking the city and river. It’s a beautiful tribute, and a very peaceful place of contemplation. The Fremantle prison tour is great. I once went to the night tour, and they threw a dummy from the top storey, and it scared the s$@t out of me. Rottnest Island is beautiful, and there is a hop on - hop off bus, but no cars, except for work vehicles, so it’s cycling or the bus for transport. The quokka’s are really that cute (look up quokka selfie). Btw, it’s pronounced Ro-toe, not Row-tow, to the locals. Cottesloe Beach is really that lovely, and I spent much of my childhood and teen years, at or nearby that beach in summers. The building is a tea house, with bathrooms and change rooms on the bottom floor. We used to swim to the pylon and dive off. We sometimes go and sit on the grassed terrace and have fish and chips on a weekend evening. It’s a great spot to sit if you don’t want to get sandy, whilst visiting the beach. My husband is originally from Ohio, and he loves living here. We have lived in the US, NZ and here, and we’ll never live anywhere else. He works in the mining industry. The penguins are cute, and we usually go there when we have tourist visitors. There are a few wine regions around the southwest of Western Australia, aside from Swan Valley, and you’ll find some of the best wines in the world here. There are also many breweries and distillers dotted about the wine regions also. We’re all about catering to everyone’s taste. The building of which you had questions about the windows, is the Ritz Carlton. There’s a nice roof top bar up there (around the spot where you’d like to live Phezz 😂). The views of the city are very nice from the South Perth foreshore, especially at night. You really should visit. If you can tolerate an extremely hot climate, come in January or February, otherwise come any other time of the year. The people of Perth love public transport, and it’s one of the best I’ve used around the world. The seafood is superb, and you won’t find mercury an issue around here. Perth is way better than the Gold Coast. See ya when you get here 👋

Your story on Fremantle Prison has strong US connection. In 1876 Six Fenian prisoners escaped from the jail and were rescued by a American merchant vessel the Catapla parked just off the coast. The authorities gave chase but gave up when the ship was in international waters The West Australian government didn't make much of fus because they had become America's problem. However, one escapee later became the Sheriff of San Franciso while another was appointed to the post of New Bedford Port Inspector.

It’s better over here in Perth, just as many and as beautiful beaches as the Gold Coast, but less people with less ego, and we get the beach sunsets 👍🏼

[@johnwilliams7999]

The Gold Coast is so common compared to Perth lol. Check out Adelaide that is awesome too.

[@acrescapes]

So hard to live in Western Australia right. On one hand I would love to share what I have experienced, discovered and can enjoy but on the other hand I kind of feel like just agreeing, telling you guys and others Yep, Goldcoast is great, x y or z too, go there. Nothing to see here ha ha. Man, the miles upon miles of secluded beaches I have driven on is ... it's CRAZY!

[@christ8349]

never been to Elizabeth Key, contemptuous in naming, also replaced a lovely park.

[@joelsmall8471]

the building on the beach would be a Surf Life Saving Club, they are on most main beaches around the country

[@kaylz6418]

You should also visit the Roundhouse prison in Fremantle. It was constructed to house the convicts. Quokka share the cutest ever. However, if threatened it will sacrifice its baby to the predators. It’s a Cafe and Restaurant. Indiana’s is a luxurious restaurant. At Cottesloe on the beach they also have Sculptures by the Sea. In Kings Park near the War Memorial is the Whispering Walls. The Arch is a water fountain the children can play under. From the edge/shore of the Swan River up to St George’s Terrace it’s all reclaimed land. Perth is 100% better. Perfect for raising children.we have beautiful marina’s. you can literally cycle along the coastline. We don’t build on our beaches. We have the lowest Virus infection and hospitalisation rates. In the North of Western Australia we have Broome where you can ride Camels, buy fresh water pearls, by Aboriginal Art and more. Even further North you have Wyndham and Kakadu which is stunning. It has some of the most beautiful natural billabongs, rock formations, rock drawings, flora and Fauna. You can also book to stay in Kakadu Glamping.

[@kaylz6418]

North of Perth we have the Alkimos Shipwreck from the 19th Century, Yanchep National Park and Whitemans Park where you can picnic with the wildlife, Lancelin, Jurien Bay (Where I was born), Geraldton, Kalbarri, Monkey Mia (where you can feed the Dolphins), beautiful rock formations, Carnarvon (where you can walk on the lake, they grow Mangoes, Bananas, 1 mile Jetty and I dare you to try to walk it. The wind is way to strong). So all are welcome to our beautifully stunning state. South of Perth we have Busselton, Bridgetown, Manjimup, Boyanup, Margaret River Augusta, Hamlin Bay, Walpole, Mt Barker, Albany, Esperance and many many more beautiful towns.

At the 3.50min all those trees that run along either of the road has an individual name, service number and their unit of every single personnel that died in WW1.

[@hoops8534]

I moved to Perth a few years ago, it’s a great place to raise a family. I can see how younger people may find it boring though.

[@kiwififochef510]

Kiwi in Perth, after living in Auckland and Brisbane- both quite busy citys it took a while to adjust to the slower pace of Perth but it is my favourite now, especially as I really love travelling to the SW of the state. Aussie truely is a very lucky country and feel privileged to be given great opportunities as opposed to struggling to live financially in NZ

[@RedWazzies]

I live close to the Swan Valley. I love the Wineries there!

[@h.r.hufnstuf4171]

My old man grew up on a hill overlooking Fremantle Prison, he remembers riding his bike past chain gangs on the outside walls doing chores. This was only in the 60s.

[@greenman2508]

Wine grapes are a lot sweeter than table grapes...They swell up and the skin bursts due to the amount of juice they contain.

[@angusphotographyperth]

Love to answer some questions of yours!! In Elizabeth Quay (previously Esplanade), the "building" is actually different shades of purple. Those are apartments. Also, there is another building right next to it, which is a hotel. The apartments and the hotel are owned by the same group. Also, the Perth Mint was the place where the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games medals were made. They also have a place where you can see gold getting melted and shaped into a bar. Perth is also one of the best places for sunshine. Although, I personally wouldn't say Cottesloe is the best beach. There are many others like City Beach, Scarbourgh and Trigg. Also, WA is much better than the Eastern States (obviously). Also, the Perth Mint's 1t coin, is massive. Rottnest island actually has quite a horrific history. It was used as a prison for Aboriginal (Australian indigenous people). Many aborigines passed there, and many of the aboriginal people refuse to go there. Also, Rottnest Island does not allow you to live there nor drive a car. The famous 'quokka selfie' is also a big reason why many people go there. the quokkas are named the happiest animals in the world, due to the way their mouths are. At penguin island, you can not stay there or even ride a bike. It is also very hard to find a penguin in the wild there, so the discovery centre is recommended. At Fremantle Prison, you can also stay a night there. Also, the Perth and Swan region is wadjack country, home to the Noongar (nuung-a) people of Perth.

[@ZosiaDabrowski]

WA born and raised- fun fact about Rotto and bikes, is that civilians/tourists aren't actually allowed to drive on the island! There's some rangers/maintenance people with cars and there's a tour bus around the island, but everyone else has to walk or cycle, so you can either bring your bike across on the ferry or hire one when you get there

[@aaronbryant1718]

Have to agree with Mr D! The Swan Valley vineyards are ok, but if you head down south to the Margaret River region, vineyards and wineries down there are much nicer. Love you videos, please visit Australia! :)

[@Brimmy11]

I literally just got home from having lunch at Elizabeth Quay and open KZbin to this 😂

[@tesskuhni3109]

My husband and I just returned from a trip around the world. As beautiful as America, Canada and Europe is, we felt very grateful to be able to call Perth home. We have wonderful beaches and parks, amazing weather and very low unemployment rates. If any American made the journey out west, I would recommend a weekend trip down to yallingup or Margaret River and also a day spent in Fremantle.

[@tanyabarker4406]

Those trees are white gums, as they age they shed their top bark and reveal beautiful smooth white trunks. This is not the tree they make cork out of. Penguin is just a mile or so from my house here in Western Australia. The beaches around Rockingham are gorgeous and see the same sunset Cottesloe beach does 😉. You can watch from the boardwalk restaurants while you enjoy a great dinner. There is just as much beach stuff to do in Perth and the south west as there is in the East. Perth is a relaxed very clean city and these videos usually concentrate most on the city and north city.

[@MrCharliemcgoo]

WA has some great trees - the huge white gums like in Kings Park are beautiful and are smooth and are good to hug; - Perth & more importantly Fremantle is my Hometown and it is lovely - lots of sun and water - and we are very far from anywhere - many Perth People find it easier and cheaper to go to Bali than other parts of Aus. - 5 hour flight to Singapore & 4.5 hour flight to Sydney. Most people on the East Coast never visit Perth

[@planetpetey]

Many of us Perth folk refer to ourselves as “ Perthlings”. Perth is truly stunning. It’s very laid back but there’s lots of interesting things going on. It’s not as brash and loud as other cities in Australia. Just understatedly cool.

[@allysonauld3416]

Perthlings? I'm 60 lived in Perth all my life but never heard us being called that! Sandgropers yes but Perthlings no!

[@planetpetey]

@@allysonauld3416 hehe. Ye I think it’s a nicer description than Perthites or Perthians. …. Sandgropers of course a long used phrase to refer to all western Australians in general.

[@qfa330]

An awesome video of Perth that is narrated by someone from England !

[@HK-cp8tm]

Been to over 30 countries, Perth is my hometown and by far favourite place to live at the moment - it's so beautiful

[@jamesscott7616]

Hey Shiltzenberger if you only base your opinion only on surf breaks Perth may not be the best. But last time I surfed at Bondi Beach you had to compete with the blind mullets well as crowds of swimmers and surfers. Not many of the big cities have big waves and the West is the same. The best and biggest surfing spots are in the South right across the continent. Beaches like Yalingup and Margaret River and Bells Beach in Victoria. There are some great surfing spots further north of Perth like Kalbarri where you can ride big fast and long waves. Most big cities become big cities because they have safe locations to berth ships enabling trade to occur. For swiming and lazing around, WA has by far the most wide sandy beaches of any state., pristinebeaches that stretch over a 1000 kilometres.

[@meep1114]

Best vineyards are south near Margaret river and dunsborough

[@australiantruckspotting8883]

My home town. It feels like a giant country town even though the population is over 2 million. The isolation is a pain, it takes so long to get anywhere from Perth but we’re used to that. The weather is near perfect, the same as Southern California.

[@animallover4955]

If you want to immerse yourself in the Izzy life watch episodes of “Better Homes & Gardens” and “Getaway”. Each week showcases places to go, what to see, foods, animals.

[@advanceaustralia4861]

I recall when Taylor Swift visited Cottesloe beach. No one took much notice as she blended in with the Perth girls, ie she was no stand out physically.

[@Gazatron81]

The building on Cottesloe beach is the Surf Club.

[@patricebijoux7065]

hi to all if you get a chance have a look at cape le grand national park w.a thank you for perth one of many place in australia . just like in the usa .

[@margaretgomer8782]

There is so much to see and do in western Australian,if you ever get to come here you should take at least 4 weeks . I personally love western Australian.
