Oz Painters

So, Im moving to Perth, WA, and I was wondering the following:

Do you have GW stores?
Do you have Electrickery?
If yes, do you have the Internet?
Is the water safe to drink?
Where is the best place to get my hobby on?
Where are the best gaming clubs?
How many of you live in or near Kalgoorlie?
What is the best way to get around until I have my own transport?
Do Brad Kershaw and Jeff Martin accept applications for the Derptrio?
Do I need to give up my Queensland heritage and begin following AFL?
Do I need to pack my Australian Passport?
Do I need to shave in order to prevent locals mistaking me for a local female? (I really enjoy my beard)
How much HiVis is too much?
How long is a piece of string?
If I purchase a new personal vehicle, what brand and build is socially acceptable?

Please answer the above to the best of your abilities. Do feel free to add any other helpful info regarding your State that may help an outsider to avoid the mass xenophobia and its related issues.

Cheers

Did you end up making it to Perth?

Did anyone end up responding to your questions (which by the way I think were justified, mysterious place over there in the West!).

My brother is living in Perth at the moment, and has started getting back into painting, I know he was going to go on the hunt for the painters over that neck of the woods.

I've been trying to get him to sign up here & post, but he hasn't yet.

Let me know if you've found any painters over in the west who would like to catch up & have painting days, I know my brother would enjoy it, and from your questions I think you guys would get on well.

Hi Maria,

Doesnt seem to be a great painting community over here in the West...

I think the sun fries their brains as the majority of gaming clubs seem to be Warhammerz only...
