Ok. I know this has been covered in some other threads, but the people
asking these questions normally have kids.

I'm moving to Perth from the UK with my girlfriend in a few months. We
will both be working in the city and are looking into renting a place
which is preferably not part of an apartment complex. We thought the
north of the city across to the west was the best option due to the good
transport to the city, nightlife and beaches.
We're both under 30 with no kids so we're just looking for a nice area
where we can walk to good shops, bars and places to eat. Regarding rent
we will probably be looking at $300 - 400 a week which is the equivalent
to what we pay in the UK. It didn't take me long to realise that rental
prices are lower in Perth.

I'd be grateful if anyone can recommend certain areas or give me some
feedback on their experiences.

Thanks very much for the help,

Cheers

Well, am in Sydney, haven't been in Perth for decades, but why
not search the Internet on Google to get an idea from agents or
newspaper classifieds?

In Sydney, most of the classified rental ads appear in the Sydney
Morning Herald on a Saturday morning, and don't know if the same
applies there.

However, realize that Australia is ten hours ahead of GMT, and it
is 10:30 AM Sunday here as I write these lines.
