Question About Perth and It's Beaches

I have some of questions about Perth and it's beaches:

1. During the summer months is the ocean water warm enough to go
swimming for long periods of time or is it kind of chilly?
2. Are sharks a concern like they are (or are'rt on the east cosat)?
3. What is the average rental price per week for a standard tourist
apartment?
4. Is it acceptable to ride a bicycle (or walk around) shirtless
anywhere in Perth?
5. Can I walk around at night without fear of crime?

Any information concerning the beach scene or quality of life in Perth
would be appreciated.

Dunno the actual temperature. But after a week of 40 degrees plus days, it
can't be cool enough.


2. Are sharks a concern like they are (or are'rt on the east cosat)?

No and no. I personally wouldn't feel to good about riding a surfboard in
Perth out the back behind the breakers, there is probably an attack every 3
or 4 years from this. Just swimming, I can't remember it ever happening.
(The last fatal shark attack off a Sydney beach was in 1960.)


3. What is the average rental price per week for a standard tourist
apartment?
4. Is it acceptable to ride a bicycle (or walk around) shirtless
anywhere in Perth?

Australians are very casual, particularly in summer.

There is nowhere in Australia where it is not acceptable to ride a bicycle
shirtless in summer; as for walking around, I would feel uncomfortable in
the city but almost nowhere else.

Unless, of course, you are a woman.

5. Can I walk around at night without fear of crime?


Pretty much, and by world standards, absolutely.

It's fine.

2. Are sharks a concern like they are (or are'rt on the east cosat)?

No. The odds of being attacked by a shark are pretty insignificant; the
few shark attacks which happen (much less than one a year) get blown
out of all proportion. Of course this is no consolation if you're the
unlucky one...

3. What is the average rental price per week for a standard tourist
apartment?

Sorry; can't help on this one.

4. Is it acceptable to ride a bicycle (or walk around) shirtless
anywhere in Perth?

Perfectly acceptable (depending on the shape you're in).

5. Can I walk around at night without fear of crime?


Perth is one of the safest Australian cities (and they're all pretty
safe). Like everywhere, use your brain. Probably the only way you'll
come to harm is if you act like a dick-head in the wrong place (I
suspect this is the same all over the world).

Any information concerning the beach scene or quality of life in Perth
would be appreciated.

Just remember that you are in a country where the sun is very strong and you
can get sunburned in a very short time.
The hole in the ozone layer is very large this year and that will only
increase the change of sunburn.
