[quote=Anonymous]Perth has a wonderful climate and a reputation for a high quality of life. Lots of outdoor activities. The city itself is smaller than Sydney or Melbourne and there's not much in the way of "culture" (it's no European city) but everyone we know who lived in Perth enjoyed it. It is very family oriented while singles would likely prefer Sydney or Melbourne.

But it is isolated from the rest of Australia and due to its proximity to Australia's minerals / mining industries, quite expensive.

Schools are likely no better or worse than in Sydney or Melbourne. Range of both state and independent options. Americans are treated just fine and dandy, if anything, Australians and Americans are probably the two most similar cultures on the planet (yes, even more than the US-Canada). The two countries are not the same, and there are enough differences to keep things interesting, but there's certainly no need to fear being ostracised or badly treated because of an American nationality.

I'd definitely take a 2-3 year gig. Perth is also nicely located for vacations into SE Asia (cheap flights and not too far away). [/quote]
