Members dr_love6977 Posted February 29, 2008 Members Share Posted February 29, 2008 Hehe, a bloody huge Ikea store recently opened around here too, right near the Stirling Train Station. Did everyone go {censored}ing ape{censored} when it opened? I seriously live 2 minutes from ours, and traffic's been a goddamn nightmare ever since it opened 2 years ago.

Members petejt Posted February 29, 2008 Members Share Posted February 29, 2008 Perth looks awesome. But I just checked home prices and . Yep they are right through the roof.It took me a year to find a decent house to live in. I spent most of the time living in a backpacker hostel 'cause nothing around was available. My guitar equipment lived in storage.Last October a mate of mine moved his family over from Melbourne, and I rented the granny flat at the back of their house. Then the real estate agent kicked up a fuss about past tenants, and my mate got scared of being kicked out. They got lucky though when they bought a new house down in Mandurah- they love it there now.I got copped with having to pay the full rent ($405 a week ) and not allowed to put in my own tenants to bring the rent down.The lease expired in early January so I had to move out. I almost was homeless but moved back into the backpacker hostel (just, it was almost booked out). I finally found this new place in North Beach, and sharing it with two mates of mine. There's heaps of room and right by the beach too, splendid!And, although the rent is expensive ($700 a week), amongst us that works out to be just $30 a week more than living in a backpacker hostel sharing a bunk bed in a dorm etc. etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They must have some well-paying jobs in W. Australia. What kind of industries are big there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically there are tonnes of jobs around, and not enough houses for people to live in. There are a lot of rich people that do live in Perth, which I read somewhere. And lots of fancy yachts.

Members simbasa Posted February 29, 2008 Members Share Posted February 29, 2008 Simbasa, when are we doing "The Holiday"? -Ottawa Ontario. Haha......anytime bro. Summertime is probably very nice up your way? It's actually foggy here in Santa Cruz in June, July and August. It cracks me up because alll the people from Silicon Valley come here when it's 90 degrees just over the hill thinking it will be nice at the beach and it's freezing cold in the 50s here from the fog.September and october we have our 'Indian Summer' here. Usually the best weather of the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members madryan Posted February 29, 2008 Members Share Posted February 29, 2008 I'm in Medford Oregon. It's nice. Big enough area so that I have everything I need locally, but without the sprawl of bigger cities. There's a bunch of smaller towns clustered in this valley with a couple of hundred thousand people. The weather's not bad at all. I've been wearing a T-shirt and/or shorts for the last couple of weeks. Here's my house... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
