bbc.co.ukI'm living in Morley, looking for a new small room near Malaga. I'm not a high income earner, living on postie wages. Working Monday - Friday.

The top photo still shows the wheel! I miss the wheel.
Anyway, this is a surprisingly thorough article for an overseas website -- I'm impressed at the description of the rental market and cost-of-living pressures. It reminds me of that article last year in the Wall Street Journal about cashed-up bogans, except that's tacky junk by comparison.
yes! the quality of the article is pretty impressive
Wait, did they finally come to their senses and remove that atrocity?
I'm out of the country at the moment, so not really keeping up with the latest ferris wheel news.
Yep. Traded it in for the new BHP building.
It's still in Freo. Get down here and have a ride!
Different wheel!
The Fremantle one used to be at Darling Harbour in Sydney up until mid last year. The old Wheel of Perth was run by a British company that presumably has taken it somewhere else (they had been willing to stay, but the City of Perth were hesitant to give them a 5-year lease).
prolly cause of Elizabeth Quay, the wheel would be in a hole in the ground right now.
I had no idea! I just assumed they were one in the same... Cheers!
