The ULTIMATE Perth, Australia city tour! | Starting our slow travel life

We spent 4 weeks in Perth, Australia and take you on a tour of the city as we get to learn about Australia and the culture in Western Australia. Perth is the most isolated city in the world and most people rarely visit when they visit Australia so we're excited to tour you around as we explore this incredible city!

👋 Who are we?
Hi there, we're Tom and Angel!
An adventurous couple from Canada who’ve always had a love for travel and the outdoors. So far, we’ve have travelled to 35 countries together!
Since moving from our hometown of Toronto to the beautiful west coast of British Columbia, we’ve been able to experience more of the outdoors than we ever have before. In October 2022, we decided to take the leap. We got on a one-way flight and started slow travelling full time while working our remote jobs.
Join us in our adventures as we live in different countries, seek authentic experiences, try new foods, and learn everything we can about this beautiful world we live in!

What do you think of Perth? Would you make Perth your first stop in Australia too?

[@mikewebster5597]

We're travelling there on Nov 7 from London for 3 weeks. Looking forward to it

[@mklives2]

You need to check out Sydney. It's the most beautiful city in the world.

[@linhofmann4913]

​@@mikewebster5597pack for heat and cool . Was 35C today in Perth , back down to low 20s later this week. It won't rain though :)

[@Taxistheft.]

Well I already live in Perth… I personally don’t enjoy it as much compared to others but it’s a fine place ig

[@kimn9802]

I'm a local. I'm impressed with your pronunciations as well as the accuracy of your information. Well done folks.

[@AnywhereGoes]

Thank you for accepting us 😭 You live in one of the most beautiful places in the world, we miss it so much!

[@Twirlinggamer]

@@AnywhereGoes Yea I’m a local as well, I kinda think our city is like a hidden gem as other east is more famous. It is just fun to explore Perth sometimes.

[@dianneraphael8248]

Best video I've seen of Perth . I live here but if I didn't I'd certainly visit after this promo. Showed in all it's beauty

[@AnywhereGoes]

What a compliment! Thank you!

[@katherineschmidt2075]

Awesome, you spent a very decent amount of time here in Perth. Most just see it as a stop over, or a fleeting visit. Youll notice how quiet and more laid back we are here in Perth as you tour the rest of the country. Totally different city to most of the others.

[@AnywhereGoes]

We couldn't agree more. Perth is awesome!

[@redhammer9910]

It's really interesting seeing people from the America's coming to Perth as the vast majority go to the east coast, rare indeed and glad you enjoyed it. Next time hire a camper van and explore the regions. You have the Coral coast or the Kimberley to the north. South you have the most stunning seas scapes imaginable, giant Karri and tingle tree Forrests, world class winaries and inland winding rivers, beautiful and quaint townships like Nannup and Bridgetown or you can head inland to the Goldfields situated on the edge of the deep red soils of the desert. You have Wave Rock, the wheat belt and Kalgoorlie, a large outback township where you will find some remarkable Colonial and Federation architecture, gold mines and the gateway to the Western and Simpson deserts. Incredibly remote desert towns like Laverton and Leonora for the most intrepid explorers. There are a lot of tribal Aboriginie's who live in nearby communities and the trip will leave you in no doubt you have experienced the Australian outback. My favourite spot out there is Lake Ballard where a British artist named Gorringe place titanium statues of the local Aboriginie's from the small town of Menzies intermittently within this huge salt lake and they look like the are walking towards you. If there has been some rain and there is water in the lake something special happens. At night if it's cloudless you climb part way at the mound that sits just off shore. The land horizon of the lake is not visible, barely visible during the day. As you stand there you have stars horizon to horizon and the mirror image of the stars surround you in the still water. You really have the sensation you have a front row seat on a star ship because that is all you can see, millions of stars from above your head to your toes. A camper van is the way to see the state, very safe.

[@AnywhereGoes]

That all sounds amazing! We were limited this time but we definitely want to visit again and spend time exploring more of the state. Thank you so much for the suggestions!

[@bambina_bren]

It’s so weird seeing Perth from an outside perspective as someone who’s lived here my whole life

[@diegofernandobordaf8760]

Perth grows on you, it is laid back but the quality of life is pretty high. As the weather gets warmer head to Fremantle, Cottesloe, Scarborough and Hillary’s.

[@AnywhereGoes]

Loving the coast!

[@ELope72]

What an amazing journey you’re on!🥰🥰 Love that we can vicariously travel with you😍😍

[@linhofmann4913]

Welcome to Perth , my sister is one of the volunteer bell ringers you mentioned :) , they also ring bells at a few churches , for weddings , as volunteers.

[@AnywhereGoes]

Oh cool!

[@aubreyadams7884]

It's always great to hear and see what visitors think of our city. We live here, so it's like, yeah, whatever. For example, most in Perth complain incessantly about our public/metro transport, but I recently saw another Canadian KZbinr do a critique of our suburban train system (existing and under construction) and rated it highly compared to some other comparable cities. An outsider's viewpoint is always interesting. So, yep, overall the pretty city in the west isn't a bad place at all. Thanks for visiting.

[@AnywhereGoes]

Tom here, I am obsessed with transit systems and seeing ones like in Perth, that are built and run to actually help their people is incredible! The CAT alone blew my mind!

[@petermclean1576]

Great video. Hope you got explore more of our beautiful city such as freo and the beautiful beaches we got. A little history lesson for ya if you didn’t know it during your visit to the Optus stadium and bushland it was formerly a golf course 😊

[@AnywhereGoes]

We have videos for Freo and Rotto coming up next 😉 WA is absolutely incredible, we're so jealous you get to call it home- we'd love to live there one day! We didn't know that, that's awesome. We did check out Heirisson Island to visit the kangaroos around there too 😄

[@petermclean1576]

@@AnywhereGoes awesome ! Look forward to seeing those too. You guys look young enough to apply for the working holiday visas if you ever do feel like a change, I’d miss all your future Canadian videos tho.

[@CupNMug]

This is a really interesting and relaxing channel. Wholesome

[@AnywhereGoes]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@DavidCalvert-mh9sy]

I've just discovered you guys. I'm a Canadian of a certain age, (that's boomer for 'older guy'). I came to Australia in the mid 60s are a 16 year old, and settled in Adelaide, South Australia. I fell in love with both the city, and the state of South Australia. Mind you, the first five years was a near vertical learning curve. When my two sons were young we'd go camping as a family every school break and the summer holidays. Not to some organized camp ground, but out to the middle of nowhere. And if there is one thing Australia has in abundance, it's middle of nowhere. To camp in the desert in the cooler, dry months, lying in a swag at night looking up into the heavens, and seeing millions upon millions of stars, is a spiritual experience. Don't just see the cities and the usual tourist attractions. See also the Outback. Go to Uluru, see Cairns and the Barrier Reef. Take a guided camping trip through Kakadu. If you are up to it, go see Tasmania in a car. Driving on the left is not that hard. I do it all the time.

[@AnywhereGoes]

We only got to visit 3 states this go around, and we were pretty limited because of time and finances. But you essentially listed off our bucket list for our next trip! You may be older but I think we're cut from the same cloth! Thanks for the nice comment, we're excited to go back.

[@heatherfruin5050]

I'm happy they came to Perth which, like Adelaide, doesn't receive much international PR. The Kimberley and Ningaloo are great places to visit. I'm originally from Adelaide. Why didn't you mention SA attractions?

[@lisalalita]

I am an aussie but lived in other countries since I was 23. It's always nice to see things from another persons perspective. I laughed at the "2nd" emu bush. It does look like the back of an emu. When growing up, Perth was just too far away, considered boring & not worth the 4hr flight unless working there. It began to gain the attention of the rest of the country in the late 80's. I'm vegetarian but... did you really eat a COLD aussie meat pie- as your first? OMG! LOL Kudos that you managed to understand all the rules of cricket after a few YT videos. :P It is my fav. aussie sport.

[@AnywhereGoes]

We're so glad we went! We know it's pretty isolated but it's such a great city! I mean... It wasn't cold cold. But yeah, we've had better since. And cricket is pretty awesome!

[@siobhanwiersma669]

@@AnywhereGoes Great video! Perth resident here, and I too cringed when I saw the pies come out! Glad you got to have it hot at another time.

[@kazwilson425]

Really enjoyed that, great job, Looking forward to more videos from you.

[@AnywhereGoes]

More to come! Thanks for coming along!

[@giuliabird8422]

if you come to Melbourne, you have to do a tour of the Melbourne Cricket Ground (aka the MCG), theres lots of history and its Australia's largest stadium - with a capacity of 100,024 ! :) Loved this video also, looking forward to more!

[@AnywhereGoes]

Sounds great!

[@AussieTVMusic]

Great video guys. I'm from Perth and learned about things I never knew existed.

[@AnywhereGoes]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@krh007]

Great vlog & a small snippet of what the Perth has to offer. The city stretches some 123kms along the coast & 62kms inland and the beaches & sunsets are breathtaking. Climate is perfect and WA is the 2nd largest State on the planet (Sakha in Russia being the largest). The WA coastline stretches some 13,000kms excluding the many islands (21,000kms including islands) so a massive place to explore. The contrasting landscape from spectacular Esperance in the south to majestic Broome in the Kimberley's up north is extrordinary but us locals take it all for granted Hope you got to spend a decent bit of time experiencing how we live in our most isolated city in the world (just how we like it and our blessed lifestyle is our best kept secret) Enjoy

[@AnywhereGoes]

Thank you! Had we not been working Canadian hours and had a vehicle, we would've LOVED to venture out to see more of WA. We drove 2500km/30hr to the Yukon in Canada and that's about the same as Perth to Kimberly, so that would've been an easy sell of a road trip for us! We'd love to come back one day and do it proper, so here's hoping 🤞 And I do feel blessed to be let in on the best kept secret that is the awesomeness of WA! - Angel

[@nandanijayaweera5468]

Look how beautiful everywhere is, and then there is yagan square...I'm sure architects laundered massive amount of money selling that shipwreck! In the history of civilization no man ever looked at rusted metal and went that is beautiful!

[@katherineschmidt2075]

You need Tomato Sauce/ Ketchup on those pies. Tastes totally different with it and better. Thats our basic pies, theres plenty of choice out there as a substitute aswell.

[@Rastusmishka12]

Great presentation! If you love nerdy stuff, you'll love Questacon in Canberra.

Hi I'm a Aboriginal woman from Perth Western Australia and my people are the Noongah people of the South West region of WA.... my peoples Country is from Perth all the way south to Albany also along the coastlines I actually live in Perth & luv my Country and people ♥️🖤💛.... please remember my people when u do these videos as u may just finding out some AMAZING things about Aboriginal culture all across Australia ♥️🖤💛🦘🦘

[@AnywhereGoes]

We made a point to try to learn as much about the aboriginal history and understand the current situation. The country and its history are so much more than modern cities and European colonies. We're excited to visit again and learn and experience more.

[@rosiekickett2617]

@@AnywhereGoes it's not so much the current situation..but simply that I would love for you to learn more on Aboriginal culture as We Are the Oldest Living Culture on Earth and there are many sites around Australia that will completely amaze u....such as the Gosford Glyphs in NSW where there's Ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics carved into rock which has been dated possibly 4500yrs old...yes the Ancient Egyptians came here and we shared much of our knowledge with them... this is also proven by the fact that they found Boomerangs in a hidden chamber of King Tut's tomb and the Egyptians called them "foreigners weapon"... plus much more ♥️🖤💛🦘🦘 but I really enjoy watching ur videos they made my Country look so beautiful sumthn I may have taken for granted ♥️🖤💛

[@JustJokes-bw4fs]

Ok, if you ever get back to Australia you have to try the meat pie again. Firstly it must be hot and they are way better bought from a bakery. The final thing is a lot of people eat it with tomato sauce on top. Some of the more specialty pies, say like a curry pie you might not put tomato sauce on. You'll just have to try it out to see if you like it. I love it. Tomato sauce is similar to Ketchup.

[@AnywhereGoes]

By now we've had a few the right way and most are REALLY good

[@noelroberts8199]

If you think Perth stadium is huge come to Melbourne to the Melbourne Cricket Ground it holds 100,000 people. Hope you enjoy your stay in Oz........👍👍👍👍👍👍
