True story ... Angus Young lived in the same suburb as my mother before ACDC became famous. Angus apparently asked my mother out but she knocked him back as she was already dating my Father before they got married.

Angus is also 5' 2". That has gotta be tough, even if your are rich and famous.

True, both Angus and Malcolm were not tall.

They don't make gnarly little Australians like that anymore

They don't make gnarly little Australians (from Scotland) like that anymore.

True, the world was a different place back then,even my generation much diferent to now, modern humans from millenials onwards are almost a different species.

You're right that they were from the UK. That gives them super gnarly status and where I come from being old and gnarly is the ultimate compliment. Some believe Young's short stature is the result of growing up with contaminated pipes in Glasgow, very gnarly.

Yeah, AC/DC is such a fun band and I still listen to them today. This is my favorite song of theirs:



Perth seems like a cool city, very clean and modern. I noticed you have a fairly new stadium, Optus Stadium... looks nice. Is Fremantle one of the nicer areas of Perth? Looks very historic, Round House, etc.

I don't think I could live anywhere else. This is where I'm used to living. I pass the Optus Stadium regularly as it isn't far from where I live now. It's lit up later in the evening with all different colours. Yes Fremantle is a nice area with quite expensive houses but not one of the more prestigious or really expensive areas. It is a port city so all the big ships dock there. They are trying to bring more people into the city because it has been a bit dead due to some not great decisions by the city council. Some government departments have moved there because of this reason.

Sorry for missing this response from a month ago. Perth looks like a beautiful location and seems very cosmopolitan in spite of its remote location. My friend from college lived there for a short bit and speaks well of it. Raves about Australian farmers markets. Same for a work colleague. I assume by city you mean the downtown? Is it a pretty suburban city overall?

I was speaking more of the suburbs around Fremantle. Fremantle itself is a city with lots of lovely older buildings and a great harbour. It is the first place in Australia that the migrant ships of the past used to dock and now where the big cruise liners dock and of course there is a lot of trade there. A great place for fish and chips and quite iconic is Cicerello's. Fremantle is where a lot of Italians went to live so there is still quite a few people of Italian descent there. It's got a great cappucino strip. Perth has much more modern buildings and is of course bigger.

Cruise ships docked at Fremantle





Some more images of Fremantle to give an idea of what it looks like.











A very popular hotel to go for a drink and a night out is the Esplanade. I used to go there in my younger years.



I also used to go a lot of Clancy's also.

Looks like a great place I love the mix of architecture and the Queen Anne influence. Seems very unspoiled too. I'm sure it's cleaner than CA

Yes both Perth and Fremantle are very clean. Fremantle also gets the cool breezes from the Fremantle Doctor in summer although there have been a few times when the Doctor doesn't arrive.
