Question
Hi,
I am in NZ since last 6 years and got a job offered in Perth, I am listening scary stories about snakes, spiders and house fly etc ? Is weather in perth normally hot ? how safe it is to let children play in school grounds or in the back yard ?
regards.

Answer
There are several hundred thousand people who live and survive in the area so conditions can't be too bad.  There are more snakes and spiders on the east side, like QLD.  People keep dogs there so the temperature can't be too hot.  Whose been giving you all these  scare stories?  Go on the WA web site and check out the conditions.  One thing it doesn't rain as much as it does in NZ and it doesn't snow or get freezing cold in the winter.

Enjoy it, its great.

I spent a month in Oz travelling around the Northern Territory by car and coach (Kakadu, Alice Springs, Yulara, Uluru), South Australia (by car) and Kangaroo Island (by minibus), returning via Bali where I stayed for a week exploring. I made friends with people from all-over Oz when I was judging great danes there and can always give them a call if there are any questions I can`t answer.
