When 'going into town' to see the Christmas lights was fun and you could hear the paper boys on the corner of Forrest Place calling out 'Daily news... paper!' And when there were enough shops open and in business in Hay St mall to actually go shopping in the city. It's all a bit of a wasteland now. |
|
Now that's time travelling,,....Thanks for the upload,\ |
|
Spooksville ! The change is significant. Mainly caucasians enjoying the spiils and thrills of besides the foreign naval men lol Awesome footage nonetheless. |
|
I remember the Mitchell freeway being built and I was the first person to drive on it with my go kart when I was 12 :) Before that there was all bush. near Karrinyup rd |
|
What a dowdy looking bunch of people |
|
Notice no vagabonds laying around like now. |
|
Who remembers those christmas lights at 2:47 |
|
A time when the AMP tower was the largest building in Perth. You can barely even see it now amongst the giant structures that surround it. |
|
I turned 20 in 1980. Everything used to close at midday Saturday and so Perth had a lovely relaxed slow paced feeling to it from Saturday arvo until Monday morning. Weekends were truly relaxing then. We were happier. |
|
I wish we still had perth the way it was in that video,instead of what we've got now. YUCK. |
|
The clean and bright city of my youth. |
|
never liked perth then never liked perth born and bred people perth a bigger shithole now over run with third world people like most other australian citiesWestern australia to much a police and nanny state the main thing wa has got is its economic wealth 40 % of australias export income with 10 % of the populations other wise no one would bother comming to western australia from other states |
|
Mitchell Fwy with only 2 lanes its like 5 or 6 lanes there now |
|
Trip me out lmao when Wanneroo was bushlanf lol |
|
Maybe Adelaide better that's why Panda live there |
|
Perth has no city feel at all. No vibe either. Its full of parks schools universities and nursing homes. Terrible. |
|
God must we. Ade laid down and daddy done the rest. Perth again wins |
|
Living in Adelaide now but raised in Perth. Nothing beats Perth! Adelaide is nice but it does not develop. |
|
Regrettably I have to visit Perth once a month for business.. WA is a beautiful state. But Perth? I’ll be staying in Adelaide thank you very much! |
|
A friend of ours was born in Perth, and he'll never go back there, he now resides in Adelaide, he has stated that he will never go back to Perth, he likes Adelaide's live music and sports culture, he has also said if he was to move to a city in another state he'd move to Melbourne, he finds Perth boring. |
|
I'm from lower Hunter NSW.My best weighted choice ATM is Adelaide due to CSIRO / Flinders Uni, better scrap/ junkyards and more sparse population and servos. |
|
Perth has the Fremantle Doctor - can't beat that! |
|
I would choose Adelaide over Perth. |
|
Perth better than Adelaide |
|
Go Adelaide. Its awesome, great people, close to everything. Love it! |
|
Beaches in Adelaide stretch along the whole coast for kms . Glenelg is a short tram ride from the city centre. Fantastic beach. Just a short distance from Glenelg you have constant beautiful golden sand down to Brighton. |
|
Um Adelaide has Mc Claren Vale and Barossa Valley both an hour or two drive. If you're gonna include Freo as a day trip for Perth you need to include Mc Claren Vale and the Barossa as day trips. Probably the best wine areas in the country.There's actually quite a big expat UK population in Australia. There's anb entire satellite city Elizabeth which was essentially all UK expats 30 years ago, and although the UK expats are less as a percentage than they were back then there are still quoite a lot of UK expats in Adelaide.My dad had a restaurant and I reckon 5 or 6 of the 8 or so main wait staff were Brits and they rotated between Perth, Adelaide and the UK - seems to be a pattern with Brit ex-pats. They miss the Tetley and mushy peas, then go back to the UK and miss the Aussie weather and every thing else, so a lot of them seem to get on an eternal roundabout between countries for a decade or two.An easy path to a visa is miltiary or police. Aussie defence force and a number of AUssie police forces are more than happy to snap up Brit ex police/services porsonel, because they just can't get enough locals - althoiugh i believe pay and benefits wise the military at least is quite a bit better paid than US/UK forces on average. |

To those who find Adelaide boring, they are just boring individuals. Adelaide has as much to do if you go looking for it as any city in the world. Having lived in the USA & Europe in BIG bustling cities, I am so grateful for little old Adelaide. Stay young hang around young people. |
|
I love both cities. I was born and raised in Adelaide. Worked in the US for two decades and returned to Australia, where I've been living in Perth for the past 23 years. I will say that Perth's winters are much warmer than Adelaide and there are very few overcast days in Perth, even during the winters. However, Adelaide has some beautiful, charming older suburbs and a lot of culture, especially European which I love. |
|
Go to Perth.Stay away from my paradise in Adelaide! |
|
Super helpful and informative video. Thank you! |
|
Adelaide is best city |
|
Adelaide is definitely better than Perth. |
|
how about jobs? |
|
Adelaide is the best city in the world IMO. I was born here, have lived in both Melbourne and Perth and I would say Adelaide is my favourite city, hands down. Melbourne is too cold and rainy and the beaches aren't great, and too big/busy with so much traffic. Plus so expensive to buy a house or rent, road tolls etc. Although its lovely for different reasons too. I lived in Perth for 5 years and you really do feel isolated living over there, don't underestimate that. You are just so far away from the rest of Australia. It has beautiful beaches and very summery vibes but too windy, waaaaay too hot in the summer, the beaches are somehow not as friendly, better for surfing than nice family beaches really. The city is beautiful but too new with not enough character, not half as charming as Adelaide, which has much more history and a nice mix of both heritage and modern architecture. Overall I would say Adelaide is just the easiest, friendliest, nicest city to live in. People are so friendly. Its so relaxed living here. Most people are so nice and will help you out. People still smile at each other, strike up a conversation sometimes. Hardly any traffic, it takes 20 mins to get across the whole thing. The city has a logical design with lots of green spaces, easy public transport (tram) between the city and the beach. Lots of other good public transport too. The hills are close and so beautiful, the beaches are INCREDIBLE and equally close. The weather is much milder than Perth, still very sunny in the summer and lots of sunny days year round but we get a nice change of seasons too. Overall living here feels like you have settled into an endless summer. So many holiday destinations to get to easily, Goolwa, where the river meets the beach, and is only 1 hour away, Victor Harbour, Port Elliot (aka cutest town ever) Robe, Edithburgh, Innes National Park, the stunning Ayre Peninsula, Kangaroo Island, I could go on and on. You can also drive to Melbourne in 8 hours if you don't take the scenic route, 10 if you do. Or a plane ride takes 1 hour. Which is great because Melbourne shopping is much better :) We have amazing restaurants, the food here is seriously good. We are not mucking around when it comes to food and wine. The stunning wine regions. McLaren Vale, Barossa. So many fun bars and night spots. The fringe festival every year in February/March! Look it up, you must come! So. Much. Fun. There's not heaps of nightlife, and the shopping isn't as good compared to Sydney or Melbourne, but its not bad either. You can get most things, and TBH I mostly shop online anyway these days. There is but lots of theatre, music, culture. Its also an extremely family friendly city, so nice to raise kids here. With hardly any commute it makes daily life with kids that much easier. Great schools, excellent universities. House prices have increased compared to what they used to be even 5 years ago but still a much more affordable place to live than Sydney, Melbourne or Brisbane. And its not boring!! I really hate it when people say that about Adelaide. There is so much to do here, things are on all the time for young and old. It depends what you want from where you live. If you want a big city feel with more nightlife, then go to Melbourne or Sydney. But if you want a cheaper, easier city with hardly any traffic and still great places to eat/have epic holidays/fun beach times then come here! One of the best actresses Teresa Palmer was born and raised here, and she now divides her time between LA and Adelaide with her family. Look up her instagram, she's got nothing but nice things to say about our state and has some great posts about places to visit, etc to give you an idea of what it's like. I honestly wouldn't live anywhere else in the world :) |

From Adelaide. Navy sent me to Perth in 2010. Spent 8 years in the Navy then worked in IT for 5 years in Perth CBD. Lived in Bertram which was 35km from the city. Easy to get in and out of the city with the train or via car on Kwinana Fwy. However the traffic can be slow during peak times. The weather is much warmer than Adelaide. Food is expensive in Perth but utilities are cheaper. Moved back to Adelaide last year but the median house prices have increased 40% here. In hindsight I wish I bought a house in Adelaide instead of renting for 13 years. |
|
All they go on about in Adelaide is wine BORING |
|
Perth is closer to Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, Indonesia and India, so how can it be isolated. . |
|
perth is full. bugger off |
|
Adelaide is a boring retirement state. There isn't much to do here and once you have lived here for a few years there really isn't anything to do unless your into food or wine. IV lived here my whole life and can tell you Its so boooooooring here. |
|
Lived in Perth for 10 years , very clean picturesque city and surrounds probably giving it a slight edge over Adelaide in that category. Unfortunately the remoteness of Perth is a huge negative. Adelaide is Definitely a better choice over Perth . |
|
Living in Adelaide. Not too bad. Still want to explore other cities. |
|
Brisbane gold coast is much better. |
|
Perth is far more beautiful, as are the beaches and Perth has an old port city in Fremantle if you want older buildings than Adelaide. You also cant compare the states, Western Australia is huge, has the tropics of the Kimberly which is considered one of the last true wilderness areas on earth. The oldest lands on eartth in the Pilbara which also boasts the largest fringing reef in the world.SA has desert and wine, although Margerat river who only started in the 70s boasts nearly 25% of Australia's premuin wine market now. Then there are the caves, the giant rainforests and some of the mist turquoise waters imaginable. And Western Australia is the engine room if the economy, over 45% of exports come from there, South Australia is insignificant. |
|
Thank you great video, i am still confused where to move i am currently in launceston and thinking to move to adelaide or perth but not sure still lol |
|
SA Great! |
|
Why do all these sources use median average instead of mode or both? I would think is someone is asking for an average they are likely asking for the price of most of the housing. Median is so easily effected by extreme small percentage of Min or Max costs. |
|
Did you struggle with getting acclimatized to the huge differences in temperatures? |
|
Adelaide and SA have the best freshest fruit and vegetables and wine. in all of Australia. The easy lifestyle. and great climate. Perth is a beautiful place and Western Australia is huge. Why would I want to sit in a car for hours to get home or go to work? and then pay. overpriced car park fees. |
|
when americans have nothing to talk about but ur country |
|
Thanks WOW THAT'S AWESOME |
|
Excellent review. I've lived for significant amounts of time in Adelaide (born), Brisbane, Townsville and Perth (currently) and would have to say that Brisbane is my favourite, especially the weather and proximity to the Gold Coast. |
|
We're Gold Coast residents who just returned from two days in wintery Adelaide. The CBD reminds me of a mini rundown Melbourne. A lot of buildings that really need money spent on paint and renovations. If you want to live in a city where you don't have the crowds and traffic issues, then Adelaide would be ideal. Prices of household items are no dearer than elsewhere, and it's only an hour flight to Melbourne. Never been to Perth so can't compare, but Adelaide weather can be miserable. Bit hard to say Glenelg Beach is inviting being Queenslanders. Avoid SE Qld. if you're looking to move to Australia. House prices and youth crime are justifiably hot topics here. |
|
Can anyone please suggest or provide information about education. Specially if perth, Adelaide or brisbane has top or good college and universities ? just wanted to know if we move does our kids can have different choices of education and has various colleges offering variety of courses ? and how are the primary and intermediate schools in comparison in these states. Thanks |
|
I would suppose that you'd need a signed job contract to be able to move there. How would you assess the chances of just hopping over and try to catch a job over there ? And what kinid of jobs would you be looking at, considering the rental prices......? |
|
Perth got best bananas!!! |
|
God, I hate her accent... |
|
Does Perth and Adelaide have theatre shows? |
|
As someone who lives in Adelaide, I have to say that the art and festivals here are the best jn Australia |
|
Thank you |
|
How are the bugs or animals in area perth? dangerous? |
|
Nope Adelaide housing prices are cheaper and going up. |
|
Adelaide was award the fifth most liveable city in the world. Cheapest place to live with a relaxed atmosphere with a huge food and wine culture.Adelaide was designed to be compact city surrounded by parklands. |
|
Has there been ANY Natural Disaster Events in either one of these 2 Cities....? Ty for ur Time |
|
Hello i would like to ask what is the best free dating site. Thanks |
|
Perth is closer to Kolkata, India |
|
Western Australia is full. |
|
I've just come across this video and I think it's great. I am Perth born and bred but have travelled a lot of Australia. Perth is beautiful and Adelaide and Brisbane are not far behind. Melbourne is great and very cultural, Tassie is beautiful but too cold for me and Sydney is too busy and noisy. Regardless of my opinions, everyone that lives in OZ should be more patriotic and proud to live in this amazing country we call home regardless of which city you live in!! |
|
I love perth is cozy and relax city with beautiful beaches, cheap cars, friendly guys, good investment in cbd area apartments since 2017. |
|
Great video with a lot of information. Do you have any info about public education cost in these locations as temporary resident? |
|
No-one living in Perth thinks they are living in an "isolated" place |
|
great info! |
|
I went to Adelaide once. It was shut. |
|
Listen Dharl , you're a blow in . Don't be e publicly inviting any one to come and live in either city . Just tell em " Sydney's where it's at " ! |
|
Perth born and bred here. Definitely the West is the best!!Been to Adelaide and lived in Queensland/FNQ and Brisbane. Came back to Perth!!The people are far more friendly and laid back in WA. |
|
I miss driving in the barossa valleys especially the loolout point at Mengler Hills..good memories when studying there..after the final exams in summer id go to West Beach to cool off and enjoy the sunset |
|
Been a lot of videos recently comparing Perth with this city or that city in Australia. The one thing all the videos seem to have in common is... Perth and why other cities are trying to justify why they're better. So, why not try Perth and find out for yourselves if it's the best place to live or not? |
|
I emigrated to Australia in 2008, and my choice of destination was between Adelaide and Perth. I loved both cities, and the fact that they were both cheaper and less frenetic/overcrowded than Sydney & Melbourne (before anyone mentions Brisbane or Darwin, I'd already been to both places and discounted them; too hot/too much crime/too little infrastructure/too little culture). In the end I plumped for Perth, mostly because I work in construction and Perth was undergoing a boom in that area at the time I moved. But the two cities are remarkably similar in climate, culture, populations, and lifestyle. And for some reason people in Melbourne and Sydney still sneer at them, as they pay $$$$$$$$ for a dogbox located 2 hours outside the city.The only criticism I have of Perth is the drivers; oh my fucking word. I have driven in Cuba, Thailand, Vietnam, Italy, Cambodia, and Hong Kong, and Perth has the shittest drivers I have EVER seen. |
|
Cut to the chase... Perth is just like any other big metropolis in the world... except it's the most remote metropolis in the world. It's a better place to start if you want to start a family. Adelaide is still like an ''old'' Australian city before the mega-boom economies and mega-corporations took over. It's a good place to live - if you're over 65. |
|
Adelaide sits in a basin so it is completely surrounded by hills, not a lot of sea breeze whereas Perth spreads along the coast and gets the Fremantle doctor comes in, Adelaide is an older city too |
|
Don't forget that Perth has the famous Perth Mint |
|
living in citys are a financial scam |
|
Nicely explained thanks to you |
|
Im from Perth, lived here all my life. Ive visited Adelaide on numerous occasions and what strikes me everytime is the difference in the finer details. Perths roads and highways are so much better planned and constructed. The intent on streetscaping in Perth is way more evident than the effort in Adelaide. In Perth the footpaths and median strips on roads are either neatly paved or cemented whereas in Adelaide you see more bituminised paths and strips. Perth shows off its wealth of native plant species in its landscaping and parks. Perth is a very beautiful city in its natural setting, Adelaide isnt flattering and has power poles called “Stobies” and Perth uses timber or underground cables. Perths rail system and public transport system in general is world class. Perth has the Swan River and lakes scattered throughout the metropolitan area so with the beaches you see heaps more water. Perth has Fremantle which and Adelaide has Port Adelaide which doesnt compare to Fremantle. But if youre not into aesthetics or natural beauty, pick Adelaide. |

Perth is almost a million more people bigger than Adelaide now and the gap is increasing. Perth seems to build new infrastructure whereas Adelaide does upgrades (Perth Stadiim vs Adelaide Oval. Perth Arena vs Adl Entertainment Centre.) More music artists and shows tend to visit Perth over Adelaide now with the bigger population Perth has. For example Justin Beiber skipped Adelaide on hia last tour. Another lifestyle thing is the sea temp at the beach. Perth sea temp is a good 3-4 degrees warmer than Adelaide which is a big difference for how comfortable it is to swim even on a hot day. Plus Perth beaches are prettier with whiter sand and clearer water. Adelaide has those horrible 15 degree Maxmum days like Melbourne. Perth in general is a warmer city with warmer winters. I think another thing is trains, Perth electrified it's trains back in the 90's and has invested heavily in new stations and new trains. It has just opened it's Airport Rail line and is building another new line to an outer suburb. It is also building new c-series trains which will start being used next year. If you like your rugby, Perth has a better offering than Adelaide. A local Super Rugby team brings NZ and east coast teams to Perth plus the All Blacks with Bledisloe Cup matches and other Wallabies games at Perth Stadium. |
|
The view of Perth and the Swan River from Kings Park on a summer's evening is the most beautiful in Australia. |
|
Would love to see a comparison between melbourne vs adelaide, considering their close proximity and having similar climate i heard? |
|
Great video! You really know your stuff! |
|
Lots of winery's But in Adelaide to go to city beaches or countryside hills area between half hour to an hour travelling time depending what side of city your on and going to I live in North of Adelaide 20 mins to city same to beaches can be in countryside 45 mins or Adelaide Hills like Hahndorf hour Very easy to travelling Murray Bridge hour and half or Kadina 2 hours |
|
If you plan on moving to Perth please know the rental market is absolute bollocks atm and is super hard to find a place. if you're considering either of these cities and are a person of colour the population is not so much diverse at the moment.In Perth, beaches NOR are rough and wavy, and SOR are more calm.Perth drivers are absolute sh*t |
|
Driving through Perth city on the Mitchell Fwy is a real 'sneeze and you'll miss it' situation. Great video, never knew we were known as the sunniest city in the world! |
|
The wine regions in Adelaide are great... McLaren Vale and Barossa Valley The last time I was in Adelaide we also went across to the South East coast of South Australia - Robe and Kingston. Great holiday spots, and close to SA's best wine region of the Coonawarra. Great memories |
