My City

[L i am]

I live in Perth Western Australia. My City is all grown up now, it being a sleepy town when I was a kid. All these images are from within 15 Kms from the CBD. Perth is the only big city in a radius of over 2,000 kilometres, it is often called the "most isolated big city in the world" I am posting to share my City. If anybody wishes to come and visit I will buy you a beer

@Rich-O-Brien Nah you will have to book your own flight, I will pick you up from the airport though, and buy you a beer or two here......

What a stunning place to live! Thanks for sharing.

It's crazy to think about having a metropolis surrounded by nothing. If I look at some of the houses in your renders, it seems like a pretty affluent city. What is the economic driver in Perth? How does the cost of living compare to the rest of Australia? If I recall correctly, Sydney has an insane cost of living.

I was lucky enough to visit Sydney, the Blue Mountains, and the Gold Coast, but I hope to visit Perth one day.

Cheers,

Hey Thomas, the economic driver is mining, Iron ore, gas, Lithium. Alumina, Nickel, Base metals, gold, Mineral sands, coal, diamonds as well as the pearling industry. Seems to be a bit boom and bust on a 5 year cycle. WA seems to attract a lot of millionaires from around the world due to the lifestyle and climate which is Mediterranean. The state of Western Australia is 4 time the size of Texas, so we giggle a bit when we hear how Texans brag about the size of Texas. The fishing is great. and to the North we have more coral than the great barrier reef it is just more spread out. Agriculture is also very big. As is our Universities that attracts a lot of overseas students. We have the radio telescope in the world with 130,000 two-metre-tall, Christmas tree-shaped antennas. It is quite expensive to live here but the wages are relatively high, but generally inline with the rest of Australia.
