When I went there in 1950 the place was strictly for the birds.The most isolated capital in the world and,boy,didn't it show. One bookshop and no library.Everybody seemed to be drunk most of the time.9pm closing so an ugly rush was made at 8.30 to see how much you could get down yr throat by 9.
On Sunday only one caff was open so there was a hundred yard queue.I couldn't earn enough money to get out of the place and ended up in university for four years as an antidote to utter boredom.It changed my life. God bless Perth and all its citizens

Trevor2626, technically the term "Sandgroper" refers to anyone from Western Australia (which is nearly four times bigger than Texas), not just Perth. I live in Perth but have never heard the expression "Perther". In this city, the smart people call themselves West Coast Eagles supporters. The less sophisticated
are called Dockers supporters. Anyone who is not in one of those camps just doesn't count.

Welcome Piet56 to the Hog. Your picture of the cityscape at night is lovely. I lived in Perth for 3 years back in the early 1980's. Boy, she's all grown up now.
