Hey dude! u'll love perth... i've lived here my whole life...
don't get excited for night life.... coz bluntly, IT'S SHIT!... lol
I've been all around Oz, and Melbourne and Perth are easily the best and nicest places. (if u like the beach, then yeh perth is awesome)
U'll need alot of time for W.A. coz there's SO many different things to do (being the biggest state here)
I'm off to london in 8 weeks for a few days, then onto Germany to live for a few years.
anyways, i'll leave it there.
Take it easy ay!
Good luck :P (stay away from Northbridge) load of crap! lol
