気が狂っている男
As the title implies - I have moved to Perth. I should be here for a few months so would like some local knowledge please. I've landed in what I would call a suburban hell! like pure suburban sprawl...there isn't a cafe or pub, no even a bakery in this endless sea of houses and lawns! How the fuck do these people live? I'm used to living on Newcastle harbour, with a short ride to most of the good coffee/food/cocktails/entertainment my (ultra bogan) paradise has to offer. I also have easy access to variety of psuedo gravity riding, and if it isn't too taboo for a bike forum...some reasonable fishing.
I have spent about 4 or 5 weeks of the last year (actually the last 42 years) here so know a little bit about the place, but I am hoping to get a better hold on things. Surely the whole town isn't 2 hours and 20 years behind the east coast? Well obviously not the Qld part of the east coast. Anyway at some stage I'll be finished this isolation quarantine and in need of living.
Where is some good local riding? I've brought my transition scout and polygon trid zz, so not necessarily fill blown dh trails and certainly as little pedaling as possible. On a previous trip I found 2 small skate parks with small/awkward/poor diet jumps attached and I have heard of riding near Kalamunda.
Throw me some good cafe names while you're at it please? Will travel for coffee...because it is kind of an essential part of life. But food is also important sometimes. Fuck I'm already sick of cooking for myself again. At least at home I had a dishwasher to back me up.
What about the easy access local fishing? At home I tend to target the larger local specimens on offer, predominantly mulloway. I figure if I'm going to go and my catch a fish, I may as well go and not catch a big fish! But of the mood hits I'll fish in a bucket for clothes pegs...so I'm open minded.
FYI - I'm mostly solitary beast, so whilst any offer to show me around will be greatly appreciated I'll probably be evasive and difficult to lock in. No offence is intended.
