Hi Monique!
Perth is indeed isolated -- it's almost diametrically opposed to the Official Center of Human Civilization (a.k.a. New York City), which is curious, since it means it's also almost diametrically opposed to Perth Amboy, NJ. How about that?
I'm horribly jealous of your warm sunny beaches. Yes, I'm just dying of jealousy. Here in the Rocky Mountains, we have to suffer through awful winters ...

... yes, almost unbearable.

Cheers and welcome!
