Field notes

The most isolated million-plus city on Earth — 4-hour flight from anywhere. The flip side is the time zone (GMT+8) is great for nomads working with Singapore or Hong Kong. Northbridge, Leederville, and Fremantle are the typical anchors. Same Australia visa story as Sydney/Melbourne/Brisbane.

Classic Mediterranean inverted to the Southern hemisphere — hot dry summers (Dec–Feb 25°C+, regular 40°C heat-spikes), mild wet winters (Jun–Aug 13–14°C). The Fremantle Doctor (afternoon sea breeze) is the local summer relief. Spring (September–October) and autumn (March–April) are the postcard windows.
