Yeah still in oz, spend as little time in Perth as possible – find it frighteningly boring and expensive, I’m mostly a dh’er and the good DH is 2 hours south. Found it more difficult to make friends than I expected – partially as I’m never there fore more than a few weeks.
With rent as it is in perth with one bed apartment min. $350 / week and a decent sized house min. 500 unless you want to be in the far reaches of perth you need to be looking at 2.5k month for rent and bills I guess. Food and consumables maybe another $1000 depending on how extravegant you want to live – alcohol even from a bottle shop will be a big expense. As are cars. Way way more expensive than the uk.
Depends what industry you are in – the mining sector has pushed costs up a lot however the average hasn’t followed. Average for perth is 78k iirc and 120k for mining industry.
Payscale will give you some idea . If I was living in Perth full time I would want to be on less than maybe 80-100k Pa.
Not looking to have fun as such – just need to work on fitness – I live out here most of the time so im not coming out specifically to ride and a MX isn’t an option.
