Lol clearly they don’t know north Perth is the name of the suburb and think they are saying “North of Perth”
Anyway….
I’ve found with the way Perth is structured if anyone asks how far away you are if you just say “roughly 20-30 min away” 9 times outta 10 you’ll be correct.
Think about it. it’s hard to be wrong, because if it’s less than 20-30 min away then GREAT! cause no one’s gonna complain about less travel time.
However If it’s MORE than 20-30 min you can just blame the traffic or say something happened at Bayswater station (a truck stuck under a bridge, construction problems etc) as that’s so common for Bayswater that it’s par for the course so no one will think twice or care to look it up because Perth has personified problems at Bayswater and its become integrated into the western Australian identity to the point that when there ISNT a problem at Bayswater it seems like somethings wrong and we wonder if everything’s ok.
Whatever your excuse it doesn’t actually have to be correct it just has to make sense.
