I would like us to be known as the city of happy multiculturalism. Come one, come all, bring your delicious foods from your home countries, leave the crap behind and hang out here in Perth peacefully. We seem to be doing better than some other cities.

The city of mining and fossil fuel.
At this stage we should just put the flag's Black Swan in a hi-vis vest.
After all its pretty high up on those flag poles.
The Conti Roll.
I love a good conti roll!
Tried one from a local store just last week, it wasn't that good though, so i'm a bit deficient in that department right now.
Water? Expensive and restricted for residents; free and unlimited for Coca Cola, etc.
Isolation.
We are very far from anywhere. The nearest major city is over 2,000km and that only gives you Adelaide. Next nearest are another 1,000+ km further still.
It's such a contrast from Sydney, where 2,000km gives you Brisbane, Melbourne, Canberra (ok that one isn't very major), Hobart, Adelaide - even Auckland.
Sand
Isn't this somewhat true? Don't we have plenty of that building sand for concrete, that the rest of the world is apparently slowly running out of?
Happy drunks. Never had any aggro from people on the piss in Perth, unlike every other city in Australia I have visited.
Really?
Things have definitely changed in the last 15 or so years.
