> What does Brisbane have that Perth doesn't? Besides water?
>Location! Brisbane is centrally located to all the places you would want to see. Perth is surrounded by desert.
> I spent a few days in Perth on business a few years ago. I had gone to China, and my boss said 'as long as you're in the neighborhood could you go the Perth office? Ha! Neighborhood!

> Anyway, I just fell in love with Perth. The scenery was much like Southern CA. without the crowds, and the folks there seemed a lot like Texans in attitude, just with a funny accent. I came home and told hubby I'd picked our retirement spot.
>That would pretty much sum up Perth, like SoCal but without the luxury of water. Australians often get compared with Texans.
> I didn't realize you were an aussie. Remind me to tell you about my stay in Kings Cross on the way back.....
>I can imagine! Kings Cross is not a place I would suggest that tourists should see. :)
