The band about 10 km north of the city holds the most diverse Perth: Brazilian, Italian, Vietnamese, Sudanese, Indian, Arab. Mirrabooka Square has African and Asian grocers side by side, Dianella is the tidier and pricier version, and Nollamara is where a lot of people rent their first room.

Good for

  • Your first rental in Australia
  • World food at neighbourhood prices
  • Saving money in the early months

Watch out

No train station in the middle — buses or a car — and some streets have a worse name than they deserve.

Getting around

Buses to Stirling and Morley stations; Mirrabooka is one of the area bus interchanges.

These are impressions, not statistics: one person, a few months, a city of two million. Suburbs change street by street — use this to know what to go and look at, then go and look.
