Perth’s not exactly Hollywood, but it is on the West Coast . . . of Western Australia that is. This is where we live. The heat is dry and the air, sandy. It’s possibly the most conservative town in the whole of Australia. Maybe that’s not a bad thing. And it’s where some filmmakers choose to make their movies.
But . . . Perth?
Sure – in Perth, every time you go location scouting, you get a call from the cops. One or two km’s over the speed limit, and you’ll be chased down – while your house is being robbed.
But that’s Perth. We roll with the bogan king-hits and the random, alcohol-fuelled stabbings.
It’s your life, pal. I’m chasing the stars. I’m off to Sydney first . . . or Melbourne. And then it’s Hollywood or Bust.
Good luck to you!
There’s one really great thing about Perth, besides it’s small population (1.5m), only 245 rain-free days per year, magnificent unpopulated beaches and an average yearly temperature of around 24°C . . . Nobody knows it’s here.
So – shhhhhhhhhh!
