Relocating to Perth
Perth is the most isolated city in Australia. In fact, it is closer to Bali, Indonesia than to other state capitals. While it is not as busy as larger cities, Perth’s relaxed lifestyle is inviting to those who are looking for a more peaceful place to move into.
Despite its size, the city boasts of skyscrapers, supermarkets, shopping centres, tourist attractions, and of course a lot of beaches.

Economy
Since the city is isolated job opportunities are somehow limited. For the past 5 years, the construction, financial and insurance, rental (hiring) and real estate, and professional scientific and technical industries have had the largest number of employees. While these workers are growing in number, those who are working in the agriculture, forestry, fishing, and mining industries are continuously decreasing in number.
Education
Despite being isolated from other major cities, Perth was never left behind in terms of education. There are 1051 schools in Western Australia and around 600 of these are in Perth. Most of the schools here are government schools and Catholic schools. It also has at least 2 world-class universities, the University of Western Australia and Curtin University. Both of these universities are in the top 1% of the worldwide ranking.
