Irish influencer couple Kate and Connor Hannigan, who moved to Perth after six years in Sydney, have shared a list of quirks they've discovered about their new home. Despite declaring 'West is best', they admit some aspects of life in Western Australia still surprise them.
The couple, who traveled from Sydney to Perth over 11 months before settling, say they've 'fallen hard' for the city. 'The people, the lifestyle and the love for the ocean and outdoors' won them over, Mrs Hannigan told PerthNow.
However, in an Instagram post, they listed things they can't get used to, including frustrations with flies, skyrocketing property prices, and the outdoor lifestyle. They also praised free parking as a positive quirk.
The post attracted comments from locals, many suggesting additions like the 'Fremantle doctor'—the afternoon wind that one commenter described as 'a personal attack most days'. Despite the quirks, the consensus remained that 'West is still best'.
