    There's plenty of work here, if your not fussy you should get a job in no time.
    Its a quiet city, quiter than Sydney or Melbourne, but there's still plenty to do.

    Question: Is there much to do outside of the pub.

    Yes, there is. The beach is amazing, as good as you'll get, about 10 miles of perfect sand and clear water. Perth is also the second sunniest capital city in the world so much better weather than Sydney/Melbourne!

    Kings park is pretty good to, plenty of BBQ spots, sports areas, open air cinemas. You can rent bikes and cycle riverside drive. And you can still go on boards.ie while your there!

    Go Team!
