1. Airtravel with a single stop of a couple of days. I like to cram as much into a trip as possible, so flying to different destinations with a few days in each is my kind of trip. I haven't been on a cruise, however, for the same reasons I think I may really enjoy one; waking up in a different place every other day.

Many thanks, Goat. Sounds similar to London then. I'm sure I will work it out pretty quickly, but good to manage my expectations.

I had to look that one up - http://www.nullarborlinks.com/ - looks interesting. "Darling, I'm just popping out for a round of golf. Back in a week or two..."

Hi Philly, I'm arriving in Perth on 4 September and looking to play golf as much as possible (i.e. as much as my Wife will allow...). Going to be based in North Perth around the Joopndalup area so if you need someone to make up a four ball (or two/three ball...) I would be interested. I was looking at the Carramar website this morning and it looks like a nice course so would be willing to play there. Adam (32 with an unofficial 21 handicap)

Thanks, portlaunay. It sounds as if you had the same sort of commute into London as I have done for far too many years. I certainly won't miss the train journey into London. I am hoping that my journey time to work will be halved... I was in Perth back in June this year and I took a train into the CBD, however, it was around midday so I didn't get a feel for what it would be like in rush hour. Also the temperature was only around 18 degrees that day and I wondered what it would be like in the middle of summer? If anyone has any idea of what the busiest times are on the trains in the morning I'd be keen to know. Also is it hard to get a car parking spot at the station during the week? Many thanks in advance.

Hi All, I'm heading out to Perth on my PR visa in a few weeks (1 September 2013). Just sitting here at work in the UK reading the headlines and i noticed this article (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-23677173) claiming UK rail fares will increase by 4.1% this year. I haven't got a job in Perth yet but I am hopeful that I will be living in the northern suburbs and travelling by train into the CBD during the week. For those who have experience of travelling to work in the UK by train and now in Perth; how do the two compare? Is Perth train travel better, worse, more expensive, cheaper etc? Thanks Adam
