	Helpful. Thanks
	Throw in the Gold Coast and Brisbane combined and you get about 4 mill
	Perth isn't windy at all i feel
	Not even close, Perth is arguably the best place on Earth to live, but don't tell too many people, or they'll all move here and ruin it ;-)
	The youth crime issue in Queensland is terrible don't go there
	And plenty of great white shark attaks Perth
	This is a no contest. Perth is not just better than Brisbane, nor is it just the best city in Australia, it's the best city in the Universe. When people die, they wake up in Perth...and yes, I have lived in both.
	Brisbane has Southbank it is an amazing family place, biggest outdoor pool I have ever seen, like a sandy beach, eats, theatres, art galleries ect all in walking distance
	The mistake you make is thinking WA is part of Australia, it's not. WA is a separate state that funds the eastern states through taxation and royalty payments. What I love about Perth is it's not the eastern states
	Perth windy ?? I dont think so ! I prefer the slow pace in Perth and WE have Australias best beaches and we have Kings park in the city with excellent city and river views
	Perth is so boring and behind
	Try 0 days of rain from December to Mid March in Perth
	Brisbane has no twilight. REALLY. No twilight. Day. Then night.
	The "windy-ness" of Perth is grossly overexaggerated. Perth has some of the best (urban) beaches. Brisbane has NONE! Except artificial swimming pools and imported sand. No-one swims in the sea in BRISBANE. Mangroves. Think brown mud.Fine place .. but if you REALLY want to appreciate Perth. Go to Brisbane.
	Yeah Perth! Supermarkets close at 5 during the weekends,but that's not an issue, the food scene here is growing rapidly as well. Nightlife is what you make of it,that goes for anywhere, climate, isolation and the relaxed vibe make this place rightfully number 1.
	45 minutes to get to the Gold Coast and an hour to the Sunshine Coast from Brisbane. Not to mention the abundance of islands just off the coast of Brisbane as well
	Houses cost more than in Perth yet WA has higher incomes. Something not computing there.
	Brisbane River will give you diseases.
	As someone who lives in Perth and has been to Brisbane, I'd say this is a pretty fair review. I think all Australian cities are great places to live and have different things to offer.
	I've never really noticed Perth being particularly windy.
	any comparison for Homelessness issue for Perth and Brisbane??
	Brush up on your first aid ,our snakes have all been flooded into town
	Perth is the sunniest city in the world and the third windiest. That wind is caused by the heat rising off the desert during the day. Its not as pronounced in winter. That wind is also why the best sailors come from perth. The big upside is perth is not disgustingly humid like brisbane. We have mosquitos but nothing like brisbane. Perth is also on asia’s timezone and - heres what eastern staters often overlook - is far closer to asia. Perth may be the most isolated capital city in the world but the melbourne sydney brisbane triangle is actually more isolated than perth.The worst thing about perth is that while it is easiest the best place to raise a family career opportunities tend to be a bit limited since the city is very focussed on mining and mining industry services.
	And yet Stradbroke Island is right there on the doorstep, with magnificent beaches, lakes and views.
	Perth is lovely with good location and good for asean tourist or property investor like me guys.
	Perth
	Perth is the best capital city in the world to live. WA is simply amazing, so much to see in this beautiful big state. Don't tell anyone shhhhh, its our best kept secret.To many people moving to Perth now, wish they would bugger off back to the east.
	Lived in both. Both nice and similar, but Brisbane and SE Queensland has more to offer. Brisbane is more expensive compared to Perth’s cheaper housing but that is driven by Queenslands post Covid population growth and popularity. Easy to pop to Sydney in a hour and a half or even Fiji or skiing in NZ in three hours.
	Both of them are perfect
	Perth isnotwindy in summer. I wish it was! Itswindy in winter!! I live here.
	You didn’t touch on the weather events in qld. Eg. flooding and cyclones
	I thought Gold Coast was the sunniest city with 300 days
	Haven’t been to Brisbane but Perth is really small and boring. Very few stores and not really even a mall in the city. Very good dry weather though.
	Perth is the most isolated in the world.
	When you see those Perth kitesurfers playing amazingly in the waves along the beautiful beaches, you won't say windy is a matter in Perth
	46 hours hey? You’re not going to sleep then, eat nor go to the loo.
	Every australian city is so beautiful and we forget how blessed and lucky that country is. What a beautiful country, i miss home so much, cant wait to come back!!
	I’m a Brisbane girl but I have been to Perth where the weather was so torrential the airport was closed and our flight delayed 24hrs but as the rentals and houses are now like hens teeth and super expensive here in Brissy, I say Perth, go the Perth. Heheheh
	I was born in Perth. Dream on. You'll be lucky to find a house to live in.
	As a retiree for a number of years, I moved to Western Australia in 2021 from Canberra (yes did the COVID19 Quarantine etc, etc.etc). along with moving my dog across Australia. I sold my ex house and purchased a 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom home in one of the coastal suburbs of Perth about 55 kms south. Having lived in Perth as a child, I always wanted to move back to Perth as it was the first part of Australia my family experienced having migrated from England. A 10 minute walk to the beach, 45 minute train journey to the City CBD and I am totally living the dream. Brisbane is not for me, floods, cyclones, humidity, yuck yuck yuck. Most of your video confirms and house prices are cheaper, cost of living is not too bad and the lifestyle is relaxed and lots of things to see and do. Lots of people are buying up investment properties or making the move to the West. Isolation is not a problem, like living anywhere you get used to where you live over time. Anyway an interesting video based on your experiences, but Perth is the winner for me.
	I agreed too. Brisbane is the best place to live in Australia.
	Hi…..that was a great review….I live on the Central Coast NSW…My wife and I are moving to North of Perth in March this year. Can’t stand living on the Coast any longer…to many idiots around after “Covid” no common sense, inpatient drivers, and don’t get me started on public transport “clowns”…..My wife and I holiday in Perth in September 22 and absolutely loved the place, friendly people, Infrastructure is better, plenty of park space…..yes I know they hit you up in parking meters….sold our home in less than 2 Weeks and managed to pick up a 2018 built, 4 bedroom, ducted AC, with pool with all the modes and cons with change left over in a great area.
	These days all people talk about is climate. When I travelled in the 1980’s you went were the work was, no matter the climate.
	Brisbane for me! But I can't go past Perth beaches!
	I love AUSTRALIA!! Hi from BRAZIL
	My choice would be Perth - because trading hrs are better - but I also prefer a diet climate - also the cost of real estate
	Perth & the SW is windy. It's become much more windy in recent years and the winters longer. Australia \ the Pacific is currently in the La Nina part of the climate cycle so the SW in particular is cooler than normal. It's a lovely part of Australia and a lovely part of the world. If you want to get away from the crowds it's a good place to be.
	This ausi Accent is hilarious... Caaaaiiirns... beacheeeeeeees
	Queensland gets storms and other parts of South East Queensland get storms and rain. Most (90%) weather doesn't reach Brisbane CBD. It goes North, South, East, West or disappears before reaching Brisbane CBD, unfortunately. Very sad
	if you've got a family and want a quiet place to settle then Perth is great. If you're single or in a couple who wants a bit more life and vibrancy then Brisbane wins hands down. Brisbane is also better for day trips, so many places to go within 2hrs drive including Byron Bay
	I've had my heart set on Perth for a few years. I'm originally from the UK, currently living in Melbourne. I've been to sydney for a visit, but other than that, I haven't been anywhere else in Aus. I like certain aspects of Melbourne, but I hate the weather here. Very cold winters and inconsistent summer, so far. Also, I'm underwhelmed by the beaches surrounding the city. Thank you for your helpful comparison video. Both Brisbane and Perth sound amazing, but I think I have a bit more of a draw towards Perth. Also, I think I like the idea of it being so isolated.
	Holidays you say Brisbane's closer to Sydney and Melbourne and you are correct BUT for people in Perth, Asia is on our doorstep. It's easier and so much cheaper to holiday in Bali than it is traveling all the way east for nothing special.
	Daylight saving? We don't need it here, it's plenty light in the early evenings
	Sounds like you are trying to sell Brisbane's lack of summer sunshine and beaches by saying how great everywhere else is better like the Gold Coast or Sunshine Coast. Thats like saying if you don't like Perth there's Bunbury or Geraldton only hours away by car, lol!A comparison is where you don't need to make excuses
	You keep mentioning Perth is windier. You make it sound like a negative but in reality the "Doctor" is such a relief on a hot summers day.Even the strong "Easterlies" from midnight on, bring a wonderful refreshing change in temperature. Brisbane doesn't enjoy that except in cyclone season.
	downside of perth is too far away from anything else
	Have they left from under their beds yet?
	Another excellent video!
	Perth is a big city full of small towns. The small town feel is very pronounced. When people say how are you going, they really what's to know.
	been to Brisbane twice, it was ok, Perth wins hands down, it has a much more beautiful river waterway and it has better weather, it has more days of sunshine than Brisbane, it’s dryer here and not humid like Brisbane. Queensland is a beautiful state but city wise Perth trumps Brisbane or Brissy as they call it, urgh
	perths cold great place but only good for 8 weeks and we full
	You are so well spoken and informative
	We’re thinking of moving to Perth in 4.5 years, going over in April for 3 weeks, cannot wait to see it.
	I’ve been to both cities. In terms of job opportunities and capital activity, Brisbane is much better, which is why I slightly prefer to buy a property in Brisbane. But I think Brisbane definitely needs a huge overhaul on its public infrastructure. The train carriages in Brisbane are full of smelly weeds and as dirty as the Brisbane airport. Even comparing to Perth, the train system and airport in Brisbane are like 10 year behind (Look at those 2000s ticket machine in train stations). The train system and airport in Perth is old as well, but they are generally much cleaner than those in Brisbane. I thought Sydney trains were already bad enough, but at least there is regular police patrolling to alleviate the security issues.It is only 9 years from the 2032 Olympics, and I’m not sure if Brisbane is ready to really become an international city and welcome people from all over the world. (9 year is short, and infrastructure construction takes many years. But unfortunately, there doesn't seems to have much plan from councils in Brisbane about it yet)On the other hand, it might be an issue relating to lifestyle as well. In Sydney, because it is way too large, most common people no matter rich or poor still rely on a mix of both driving and train/bus for commuting. In Perth or Brisbane, people might be able to commute by driving only, which is why their train system is a bit of ignored. But it is still vital to improve the infrastructure for cities, especially Brisbane, which is planning to impress tourists during 2030-2032 and become famous on World Maps.
	I’m looking to move to Brisbane in the next 12 months! Any help or tips would be greatly appreciated :)
	Obviously Brisbane wins easily. WA and Perth are like 20 years behind.
	Been here 31 years in perth from Essex clean but people are a different breed here eg no drinks offered in the work place and quite arrogant until you front them up
	Perth could be the worst city in Australia. The people seem to be friendly but at their heart are cliquey and suspicious of anyone foreign and very insecure about their city - constantly needing approval. They have that, "if you don't like it, then leave attitude". There is really not much to do after a few days.They dislike South Africans/Brits/those from Eastern States. Anyone who is "other".This parochialism and the isolation can be felt. It's uncomfortable. Only place in Australia that we left early and wouldn't like to return to.
	Lived in Both Perth and Brisbane, Perth is my preferred city, still developing with less traffic and properties are still affordable.
	COST OF LIVING IS TO EXPENSIVE AND AN PATHETIC JOKE
	Anyone catch the video of that freak smashing moving cars with a baseball bat at the traffic lights at the corner of Scarborough Beach Road and West Coast Highway recently??....Hello Perth!!!
	Been all over Australia from Melbourne Perth hands down slightly pricey is the only concern food accommodations etc
	Perth is awful. Isolated from everyone...and that's how they like it.Porricial people who mostly dislike people from ANY other state.
	You can't beat Barcelona!! Relax atmosphere, fun, nice beaches, no sharks .... great night life, and walking areas.
	Brisbane is the best place on this planet you all should go live there and if you already live there please stay there Just saying..Perth is horrible don't go there it's a waste of a plane trip..
	Perth is only "hot" for about 3 months of the year, it has a very mediterranean climate for about 4-5 months and is cold for 4-5 months. Brisbane feels hot for about 6 months of the year. It is easier to cool off in Perth. Perth is much easier to get around in; people spend far less time on a commute - there is also an excellent public transport (buses, trains) system tied in closely to the highway and freeway system. I have lived for many years in both cities. As far as beaches go there is just no comparison and you are only a max of 30 minutes away from a beach anywhere in Perth. House prices are only very high in both cities if you have a desperate need to live near to the CBD's and are very reasonable if you live 30-40 minutes drive away from work. The houses are much "prettier" in Brisbane, but as the lady says, they are far more expensive in Brissy. I think Brisbane is more suited to young couples who don't have children. Perth is extremely child friendly and there's much less stress on family life. The biggest downside to Perth is the feeling that you are two-dimensionally trapped between the hills and the sea. However, you just have to drive a couple of hours either north or south and you are met with the most incredible expanse of Australian nature. Perth is also amazingly close to Asia. 4 hours gets you to Singapore and about 3 hours to Bali. As you can see from some of the comments there is a fair bit of prejudice from eastern state people towards people from Perth. Some of this may originate in WA's attempt to secede from Australia in I think the 1930's (the only reason this did not happen was because the British government just ignored the referendum result). Perhaps as a consequence of this "attitude" I think Perth and WA people have great resilience and independence in how they approach the idea of what it means to be an Australian. I personally couldn't give two stuffs for any of that childish parochialism. WA is about 1/3 of the landmass of Australia (which is the same size as the contiguous USA) with only about 2.5 million people. Let that sink in.
	so much rain, humidity and bugs in Brisbane, and no beaches, Sydney's the same but it has some beaches ( small and crappy though )
	You can keep your Brisbane floods it's a wonder boats aren't your first mode of transport. Perth has the most stable climate in Australia.
	I honestly cant stand the people from Perth. They are literally the most red neck, sheltered people on Earth. They are hyper-sensitive to criticism of their state and scared of change. They should just suceed from Australia form their own country.
	I am planning to move to Perth from Melbourne ? Melbourne is beautiful but weather is horrible and traffic is bad .
	I leave near the sea in Brisbane, it is heaven on Earth. The consistent sea breezes temper the summer humidity. It is also less hectic on the coast, but anytime I want hectic it is one train ride away to the CBD.
	Perth windy? Really? You sure?
	Perth is windy in the summer? I live here. Please direct me to where the wind is! ?
	Lived in Brisbane for 12 years. Then moved to Perth 20 years ago. I'm here forever! Aweome family city, Beaches are incredible! So relaxed here.
	I'm in Perth, just holidayed in Brisbane Nov 22. Perth has a small homeless problem in the CBD (small compared to Melbourne) with no apparent pushback by authorities to contain /help or move them on. Brisbane has a much more visible police presence in the CBD and the homeless seem to be contained a few streets away from the casino. Just an observation of a few days being a tourist, but Brisbane CBD "feels" safer than Perth CBD, but I've never had any problems in Perth having lived here over 50 years.
	Brisbane is much better if you want to be connected to the rest of the country and the world. It also has a distinctive culture and architecture found nowhere else. It is significantly larger than Perth once you factor in the 2 coasts on your doorstep, which adds another million people.
	Definitely Perth. I've lived in all the major cities and settled in Perth because the lifestyle isn't rushed. It's actually the most remote city in the world but it's only a 3 to 5 hr flight to anywhere in Asia. Perth also has amazing beaches and food
	Perth is cold
	I am from Perth but have lived in Brisbane for 22 years. Very similar feel, both friendly and I love them both the same. I lived in Sydney for 6 months and left in that time and went back to Brisbane. Sydney was not for me.
	I was born in Perth, but spent 10 years on the eastern seaboard of the country, which included 3 years in the Brisbane area. It would be correct to say I'm prejudiced when it comes to a choice, but it would also be correct to say that I feel justified in my reasoning when promoting Perth as the premier city of the two for a whole raft of reasons. It is telling that when deciding to raise a family my first thoughts was to return to Perth as the preferred option for child rearing. For a start, while the climate may entertain similar temperatures, you get NOTHING like the humidity of Brisbane in Perth. You also don't get hail the size of golf balls. I once saw a 5 min hail storm do over $3 million damage to an airfield in Brisbane. You can swim in the waters off Perth without worrying about jellyfish that can kill. Sharks, yes, but they occur in both areas. Nor do we have a Fraser Island with dingoes running rampant. The Quokkas may give you a cheeky grin though... There is way more to Perth than beaches and pretty scenery; if you think otherwise then you really haven't bothered to look. In the main I have found Perth people to be more generous of heart than Brisbanites. Evidence of this, for example, is the longest running Telethon on television when compared to ..... literally anywhere else on earth! Every single year since it's inception has seen record levels of donations. My own experience of living in Brisbane or the Gold Coast has been that people are OK so long as you have a buck in your pocket.
	As a Brit who's lived in Perth for 20 years, but nowhere else (family is here), Perth is parochial and conservative and very suburban in attitude and physically. But it's also got amazing natural beauty. Summer is definitely more active than winter. But if you're from the main population areas in Europe you'll feel the isolation. At the moment it costs around $1000 for a return plane trip out of the state. Including going to the eastern cities. Bali I think is cheaper. You're lucky if you can get a return flight to London for $1700 return. Typically about $2000. So be warned!
	Good valid points . But I think the number one difference is the quality /attitude of people in Perth sucks. Be it work places , politics ,media or just in general. It’s a different Australia!! They have a subconscious feeling in their head that Perth is the best city without even visiting the eastern states.I have lived in 4 cities in Australia for 2 plus years inclusive of Perth and Brissi. Brisbane has been the best experience.
	I'm from Brisbane. Lived in Perth for 20 years. Nice city, people are all fu<king weird though. Best thing I ever did was move back to Brisbane
	Windy (but not stormy) is a plus: keeps the air clean.
	I wouldn’t live in Perth if you paid me. Other states and territories have more diversity and a lot more going on. Perth has beaches. The rest is a total dog show.
	I live on the Gold Coast just south of Brisbane and I travel up to Brisbane fairly often.One thing about Brisbane is how difficult it is to learn your way around when driving, the roads are like a maze and everyone speeds.Take one wrong turn and you can end up in an underground toll road and pop out somewhere on the other side of town or even over the river.
	I moved to Perth after lived in Sydney 5 years, Canberra 1 year and Melbourne 11 years. Perth is beautiful city. I didn't feel any winds in Perth which are heavier than Melbourne.
	The temperature in Perth can reach 45- 46 degrees in summer & that's normal. 31 degrees is more like our spring season.There is a period in summer that it is humid like Brisbane due to the cyclones up north. Autumn is our windy season not summer. We have Rottnest island.
	Employment & Accomodationperth. brisbane is good to live if you like the smell of pee.
	No contest Perth all the way especially the weather.

Helpful. Thanks

Throw in the Gold Coast and Brisbane combined and you get about 4 mill

Even comparing to Perth, the train system and airport in Brisbane are like 10 year behind (Look at those 2000s ticket machine in train stations). The train system and airport in Perth is old as well, but they are generally much cleaner than those in Brisbane. I thought Sydney trains were already bad enough, but at least there is regular police patrolling to alleviate the security issues.It is only 9 years from the 2032 Olympics, and I’m not sure if Brisbane is ready to really become an international city and welcome people from all over the world. (9 year is short, and infrastructure construction takes many years. But unfortunately, there doesn't seems to have much plan from councils in Brisbane about it yet)On the other hand, it might be an issue relating to lifestyle as well. In Sydney, because it is way too large, most common people no matter rich or poor still rely on a mix of both driving and train/bus for commuting. In Perth or Brisbane, people might be able to commute by driving only, which is why their train system is a bit of ignored. But it is still vital to improve the infrastructure for cities, especially Brisbane, which is planning to impress tourists during 2030-2032 and become famous on World Maps.

I’m looking to move to Brisbane in the next 12 months! Any help or tips would be greatly appreciated :)

Obviously Brisbane wins easily. WA and Perth are like 20 years behind.

Been here 31 years in perth from Essex clean but people are a different breed here eg no drinks offered in the work place and quite arrogant until you front them up

Perth could be the worst city in Australia. The people seem to be friendly but at their heart are cliquey and suspicious of anyone foreign and very insecure about their city - constantly needing approval. They have that, "if you don't like it, then leave attitude". There is really not much to do after a few days.They dislike South Africans/Brits/those from Eastern States. Anyone who is "other".This parochialism and the isolation can be felt. It's uncomfortable. Only place in Australia that we left early and wouldn't like to return to.

Lived in Both Perth and Brisbane, Perth is my preferred city, still developing with less traffic and properties are still affordable.

COST OF LIVING IS TO EXPENSIVE AND AN PATHETIC JOKE

Anyone catch the video of that freak smashing moving cars with a baseball bat at the traffic lights at the corner of Scarborough Beach Road and West Coast Highway recently??....Hello Perth!!!

Been all over Australia from Melbourne Perth hands down slightly pricey is the only concern food accommodations etc

Perth is awful. Isolated from everyone...and that's how they like it.Porricial people who mostly dislike people from ANY other state.

You can't beat Barcelona!! Relax atmosphere, fun, nice beaches, no sharks .... great night life, and walking areas.

Brisbane is the best place on this planet you all should go live there and if you already live there please stay there Just saying..Perth is horrible don't go there it's a waste of a plane trip..

Perth is only "hot" for about 3 months of the year, it has a very mediterranean climate for about 4-5 months and is cold for 4-5 months. Brisbane feels hot for about 6 months of the year. It is easier to cool off in Perth. Perth is much easier to get around in; people spend far less time on a commute - there is also an excellent public transport (buses, trains) system tied in closely to the highway and freeway system. I have lived for many years in both cities. As far as beaches go there is just no comparison and you are only a max of 30 minutes away from a beach anywhere in Perth. House prices are only very high in both cities if you have a desperate need to live near to the CBD's and are very reasonable if you live 30-40 minutes drive away from work. The houses are much "prettier" in Brisbane, but as the lady says, they are far more expensive in Brissy. I think Brisbane is more suited to young couples who don't have children. Perth is extremely child friendly and there's much less stress on family life. The biggest downside to Perth is the feeling that you are two-dimensionally trapped between the hills and the sea. However, you just have to drive a couple of hours either north or south and you are met with the most incredible expanse of Australian nature. Perth is also amazingly close to Asia. 4 hours gets you to Singapore and about 3 hours to Bali. As you can see from some of the comments there is a fair bit of prejudice from eastern state people towards people from Perth. Some of this may originate in WA's attempt to secede from Australia in I think the 1930's (the only reason this did not happen was because the British government just ignored the referendum result). Perhaps as a consequence of this "attitude" I think Perth and WA people have great resilience and independence in how they approach the idea of what it means to be an Australian. I personally couldn't give two stuffs for any of that childish parochialism. WA is about 1/3 of the landmass of Australia (which is the same size as the contiguous USA) with only about 2.5 million people. Let that sink in.

so much rain, humidity and bugs in Brisbane, and no beaches, Sydney's the same but it has some beaches ( small and crappy though )

You can keep your Brisbane floods it's a wonder boats aren't your first mode of transport. Perth has the most stable climate in Australia.

I honestly cant stand the people from Perth. They are literally the most red neck, sheltered people on Earth. They are hyper-sensitive to criticism of their state and scared of change. They should just suceed from Australia form their own country.

I am planning to move to Perth from Melbourne ? Melbourne is beautiful but weather is horrible and traffic is bad .

I leave near the sea in Brisbane, it is heaven on Earth. The consistent sea breezes temper the summer humidity. It is also less hectic on the coast, but anytime I want hectic it is one train ride away to the CBD.

Perth windy? Really? You sure?

Perth is windy in the summer? I live here. Please direct me to where the wind is! ?

Lived in Brisbane for 12 years. Then moved to Perth 20 years ago. I'm here forever! Aweome family city, Beaches are incredible! So relaxed here.

I'm in Perth, just holidayed in Brisbane Nov 22. Perth has a small homeless problem in the CBD (small compared to Melbourne) with no apparent pushback by authorities to contain /help or move them on. Brisbane has a much more visible police presence in the CBD and the homeless seem to be contained a few streets away from the casino. Just an observation of a few days being a tourist, but Brisbane CBD "feels" safer than Perth CBD, but I've never had any problems in Perth having lived here over 50 years.

Brisbane is much better if you want to be connected to the rest of the country and the world. It also has a distinctive culture and architecture found nowhere else. It is significantly larger than Perth once you factor in the 2 coasts on your doorstep, which adds another million people.

Definitely Perth. I've lived in all the major cities and settled in Perth because the lifestyle isn't rushed. It's actually the most remote city in the world but it's only a 3 to 5 hr flight to anywhere in Asia. Perth also has amazing beaches and food

Perth is cold

I am from Perth but have lived in Brisbane for 22 years. Very similar feel, both friendly and I love them both the same. I lived in Sydney for 6 months and left in that time and went back to Brisbane. Sydney was not for me.

I was born in Perth, but spent 10 years on the eastern seaboard of the country, which included 3 years in the Brisbane area. It would be correct to say I'm prejudiced when it comes to a choice, but it would also be correct to say that I feel justified in my reasoning when promoting Perth as the premier city of the two for a whole raft of reasons. It is telling that when deciding to raise a family my first thoughts was to return to Perth as the preferred option for child rearing. For a start, while the climate may entertain similar temperatures, you get NOTHING like the humidity of Brisbane in Perth. You also don't get hail the size of golf balls. I once saw a 5 min hail storm do over $3 million damage to an airfield in Brisbane. You can swim in the waters off Perth without worrying about jellyfish that can kill. Sharks, yes, but they occur in both areas. Nor do we have a Fraser Island with dingoes running rampant. The Quokkas may give you a cheeky grin though... There is way more to Perth than beaches and pretty scenery; if you think otherwise then you really haven't bothered to look. In the main I have found Perth people to be more generous of heart than Brisbanites. Evidence of this, for example, is the longest running Telethon on television when compared to ..... literally anywhere else on earth! Every single year since it's inception has seen record levels of donations. My own experience of living in Brisbane or the Gold Coast has been that people are OK so long as you have a buck in your pocket.

As a Brit who's lived in Perth for 20 years, but nowhere else (family is here), Perth is parochial and conservative and very suburban in attitude and physically. But it's also got amazing natural beauty. Summer is definitely more active than winter. But if you're from the main population areas in Europe you'll feel the isolation. At the moment it costs around $1000 for a return plane trip out of the state. Including going to the eastern cities. Bali I think is cheaper. You're lucky if you can get a return flight to London for $1700 return. Typically about $2000. So be warned!

Good valid points . But I think the number one difference is the quality /attitude of people in Perth sucks. Be it work places , politics ,media or just in general. It’s a different Australia!! They have a subconscious feeling in their head that Perth is the best city without even visiting the eastern states.I have lived in 4 cities in Australia for 2 plus years inclusive of Perth and Brissi. Brisbane has been the best experience.

I'm from Brisbane. Lived in Perth for 20 years. Nice city, people are all fu<king weird though. Best thing I ever did was move back to Brisbane

Windy (but not stormy) is a plus: keeps the air clean.

I wouldn’t live in Perth if you paid me. Other states and territories have more diversity and a lot more going on. Perth has beaches. The rest is a total dog show.

I live on the Gold Coast just south of Brisbane and I travel up to Brisbane fairly often.One thing about Brisbane is how difficult it is to learn your way around when driving, the roads are like a maze and everyone speeds.Take one wrong turn and you can end up in an underground toll road and pop out somewhere on the other side of town or even over the river.

I moved to Perth after lived in Sydney 5 years, Canberra 1 year and Melbourne 11 years. Perth is beautiful city. I didn't feel any winds in Perth which are heavier than Melbourne.

The temperature in Perth can reach 45- 46 degrees in summer & that's normal. 31 degrees is more like our spring season.There is a period in summer that it is humid like Brisbane due to the cyclones up north. Autumn is our windy season not summer. We have Rottnest island.

Employment & Accomodationperth. brisbane is good to live if you like the smell of pee.

No contest Perth all the way especially the weather.
