Perth is clean, fresh, sparkly, and efficiently functional. A bit like an unused toilet.
The city is sterile, boring and unpleasantly hot. You'll spend all your time hopelessly chained to wherever you can find an air-conditioning unit.
You would have a better holiday if you just stayed on the plane.
If you are coming from a north European climate you will find it very hot in the summer from December to March (especially January and February), and you probably will want air conditioning as much as possible. So if possible enjoy the 22-27C temperatures of April, May and October. November can be warmer hitting 30C but in 2008 it hasn't yet and it's the 19th.Send your feedback or queries to been.there@guardian.co.uk
