Perth is not off the beaten track. It's the San Fran of Australia!

Amen, I live in Perth and its an awesome place. I meant its off the beaten track of tourists coming to Australia - something like <5% of tourist visitors to Aus take the time to visit Perth.

Perth is one of the remotest cities in the world (along with Honolulu), it is around 3,000 km to the nearest city, with a huge desert in the way.

It might be the San Fran of Australia if you are a miner.
