    Perth Backpackers Part 2: Living on a Shoestring in Perth

    Details
    Written by: Marcel Deer
    Published: 25 July 2012

    With Perth being the most expensive city in Australia, I thought I would share a few backpacker tips of how I survived on a shoestring last winter when my travel funds ran disastrously low.

    Although it's an easy city to find work in, in the winter the hours are often cut in hospitality and construction jobs, which can mean a weeks’ worth of bad weather can leave you skint and with just enough cash for your rent.

    I backpacked around Perth for ten months last year; it quickly became one of my favourite cities in the world.

    If you're going out on a working holiday VISA, it's a place that's friendly and easy to find work, with a wide range of backpackers accommodation, great night life, beautiful surroundings and plenty to do.

    Augusta – A Hot Spot Emerging from the Shadow of a Better Known Neighbour

    Previously in the shadow Margaret River 60 kilometres to the north, the once almost ignored sleepy hollow of Augusta is starting to shape up as the next hot spot on Western Australia’s long list of top coastal destinations.

    For a start it is one of those rare spots in the WA where you can see the sun rise over the ocean. It is also one of the even less common places where you can have your photo taken across a line that bisects two oceans.

    With access to the Blackwood River on one hand and the Indian and Southern oceans on the other, those into fishing or boating can take their pick. During the whale watching season (June to September) Southern Right and Humpback Whales come into Flinders Bay, so close you feel you could reach out and touch them.

    Travel Essay: Seagulls and Cruise Liners at the Geraldton Marina

    Geraldton has undergone dramatic change over the past decade. The once sleepy agricultural town 420 kilometres north of Perth is now a thriving city at the centre of the Midwest mining boom.

    Since rerouting the train line from the beachfront, the cityscape has been revitalised. The once industrial landscape now has a fantastic children’s playground and waterpark as well as wide grassed areas with shaded tables dotting the foreshore.

    A five minute stroll North past the Dome café along a winding seaside path, is the new marina. During the summer it is a popular stop off for cruise ships on their way up and down the coast.

    Head for the Hills in Perth

    Let’s face it; Perth is a very flat city in what you would consider a relatively flat state so we tend to get a bit excited about any type of bump in the landscape.

    The Perth Hills along the Darling Range make a welcome change from the coastal plain and for visitors; they offer the opportunity to see the city from a slightly different perspective.

    An Insider’s Guide to Applecross Village

    I am one of those people who are lucky enough to live in Applecross.  It is the best location in Perth, and I love being a 15 minute train and walk from the city, a 30 minute bus ride to Fremantle and five minutes from the river.

    But one of the best things about living in Applecross is the wonderful fact that I am within walking distance to Applecross Village on Ardross Street.
