Just got a job transfer with my employer, I'm moving from sunny QLD to WA and I wondering what would be a decent area to perch myself for a while whilst I get a feel for the place.

I had my eye on innaloo, victoria park or bayswater, needs to be somewhere near a train line or a decent public transport line (for my missus not me) and not too far from the airport (night shifts, not fun driving too far after them)

What do you guys reckon about those areas, I really have no idea which is a good or dodgy part of town over there, but more then $450/week rent is a bit much :D

Innaloo being north of the river may be too far, not a huge amount depending on where you are closeness to a traino is quite variable but generally close - Victoria park could be nice its right in the city so pretty close to airport, theres a Victoria Park station and theres buses everywhere, but I dont like Vic park that much, bit dirty and crowded imho. Then theres Bayswater really close to the airport in terms of the other suburbs its about one or two away. Train stations quite close by. My opinion Bayswater is the best go and Victoria Park is the doggiest out of the 3.

if you could find a place around the east perth/mount lawley area, that would be perfect also. bayswater is actually quite a good idea though. very near bassendean - home of wilkinson suspensions :-D and train goes right through. it's the shit.

Bayswater isn't that bad, it's the suburb before mine. Close to the airport, close to traino, close to Galleria shops, plenty of fast food/grocery stores around.

Agree'd, out of the ones you mentioned Bayswater sounds like it meets your criteria the best.

I've lived in Noranda for 21 years and it's a pretty decent suburb. Nice people, shops, housing etc, it's close to the highway which leads (basically) striaght to the inter/national airport/s, there is some decent bus routes around that will go to the Morley bus station (the next suburb along) and then to the city of wherever u need to go.

All in all, im happy with Noranda, and it's only 10km's NorthEast of the CBD, so you are relatively close to large shops, nightlife areas, restuarants, etc etc

Gosnells.

Haha i live next door in Maddo. We're just a touch nicer than Gosnells. but still kickin it up with the indigenous.

off topic i know but chis34 did you head into maddo today via albany hwy?

Sure did mate. not in my 34 though. I would of been driving around a black VZ SS Ute (company car). I work in Maddington so i drive around the albany hwy area a lot. Normally im driving my skyline but coz its at the workshop all this week, i havent been able to drive it around :P

You'll probs see it everyday at metro maddo shops when i go to grab some lunch. And occasionally gunning it through albany hwy/kenwick link swinging in between our 2 car yards :(

lived in Sorrento for 18 years.

northern coastal suburb, mostly like scarbs/innaloo, no complaints absolutely love it.

Northern and coastal is great IMO

Pretty much anywhere near water (coast, river, lake) is a very tasteful suburb, no derros, low crime etc...

good luck!

Bayswater meets your needs, reasonably close to airport, rent is cheap and lots of drugs

I lived in Bayswater 2 years.. can you tell?

Rivervale is close to airport, cheap rent and dodgy but not as dodgy as some previously mentioned.

Innaloo is a good area but a bit of a mission to the airport

      Original window sticker?

      By Celticsfan03 · Posted

      Hey everyone. Is there a way I can get the original window sticker (maroney label) for my 1995 R33 GTST? I doubt I’ll be able to ever get it but it’s worth a shot to ask

      It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪

      And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil

      Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
