Food, Drink & Dining Out The Perth Thread - Part 2

[Scotland]

You can book some pretty ******* nice places in Bali for 200. compared to some pretty nice places in perth for 200

Bali is a holiday destination, Perth isn't. Perth is a city of 2m people and tourism is only a small part of why the city and hotel industry exist.

The biggest problem Perth faces attracting tourists (other than the fact it's expensive and isolated) is that there isn't a whole lot going on. It looks pretty and there are nice natural attractions but simply being in a hotel in Perth city isn't that much of an attraction.

This guy was seen fleeing the scene.

Reminds me of what happened at the Morley WA Salvage store.

Whou would have thought leaving Metho and citronella candles +cheap matches next to each other on pallets would cause the building to catch fire....

Is Luigi still alive?

 

[Beerfish]

Is Luigi still alive?

Pretty sure he is.

 

[Mr_Bojangles]

He is. Heard him on the radio the other week. Retired in Rocko and tending to his concrete garden.

 

[perthblue]

I miss Luigi and WA Salvage

 

[Perth gal]

I live 2 minutes away and I heard all the explosions. Thought they were gunshots.

 

[Kram]

I bet it was deliberately lit.

 

[Beerfish]

I bet it was deliberately lit.

By a disgruntled employee.

So our young renting neighbours have recently acquired a drum kit to go with the electric guitar and loop pedal already in residence. I'm trying really hard not to be annoyed because I did exactly the same thing when I was a young renter and quite frankly there's something comforting about knowing that kids are still picking up instruments and having a crack. Listening to them brings back a few memories. They're not very good, can't keep time, trying to play over one another, drummer just beating the shit out of the kit and attempting fills he's got no chance of making. I distinctly remember going to rehearsal rooms as well though..

Shame it wasn't the Bunnings in Maddington that went up - the resultant damage would have caused untold millions of dollars worth of improvement to the suburb...

I like my dingy old store the way it is thankyou.

*don't actually live in Maddo though

 

[Scotland]

Holy shit Maddington is cheap. You can get a whole house for $250k. It's in Maddington sure but it isn't Halls Creek.

 

[JackOutback]

You can get quite a few houses in places like Maddo and Medina for under $250k, on a proper block. It's hard to see how the market could go any more backwards at that end.

 

[Beerfish]

Well they're south so they've at least got that going for them.

 

[ioppolo]

Maddington, Kenwick, Gosnells, Huntingdale, Thornlie, Kelmscott, Seville Grove. My own little backyard of cheap housing.

As it is the mrs and I will probably end up in one of these suburbs because that's all we can really buy into without sending us broke.

Places like Medina, Leda, Calista, Orelia, whatever else, they're just so far out the way unless you work in Kwinana or Rockingham area. I'd consider it if the trip to work wasn't 45 minutes.

Have you driven around those suburbs before?

Need an airport in Busselton

 

[Upgrayedd]

Yeah we're looking to buy, Except 20M from the city with 300sm or the sticks with 700sm.

Probably end up in the sticks

I went to Hilman the other week. Do not recommend. **** living miles away from anything if there's no redeeming qualities offsetting the extra distance. The hills are nice for the bush, views etc. and you get space. All those places up Marmion Ave where newly arrived poms and saffers live have beaches. Then people go and move to Tapping and Banksia Grove. Yeah, nah.

I still reckon Queens Park will be decent one day. Only 10 or 11km from the city and connected by rail.

 

[quotemokc]

Off The Couch why can't the building on the corner of Gill and Charles St maintain a tenant?

That's near my way and I'd definitely recommend it. People don't realise how close to the city it is, 15 mins at night, 20 mins in the day, less than half an hour even in peak hour. There's far more valuable suburbs where you spend twice that time on the freeway every workday.
