About
115 Meridian

Practical reference books for people making real decisions — published from Perth, Western Australia, at 115° East.

Named for the longitude of
the world's most isolated city.

The 115th meridian of longitude east runs through the heart of Western Australia — one of the world's most geographically significant yet least-known lines on the map. Perth sits on it. 115 Meridian takes its name from that coordinate.

The imprint publishes practical reference books for people making real decisions. Not browsers. Not tourists. Not the curious. The reader who comes to a 115 Meridian book has already decided something matters — a city, a job, a move, a life. Our job is to make sure they have honest information when they act on it.

Every title in the list is built around the questions people actually ask — not the ones a tourism board or corporate recruiter would prefer. That is the only editorial standard that matters here.

115 Meridian

Honest books for people making real decisions. Published from Perth, Western Australia, at 115° East — the longitude of the city at the end of the world, and the beginning of a very good life.

Paul Theseira

Paul Theseira has lived on both sides of the Swan River — the north and the south — and has navigated Perth's rental market, working culture, and social fabric from the inside. So You're Thinking of Moving to Perth is the guide he wished he'd had: honest, specific, and built around the questions people actually ask, not the ones the tourism board wants answered.

The companion Perth Suburb Atlas 2026 covers what comes next — the decision about exactly where to live, suburb by suburb across all 362 neighbourhoods in the Perth metro area.

115 Meridian is Paul's publishing imprint, named for Perth's position on the map: 115° East. The list will grow. The editorial standard won't change.

"Every title in the list is built around the questions people actually ask — not the ones a tourism board or corporate recruiter would prefer."

The reader who comes to a 115 Meridian book is not browsing. They have made a decision — or are close to making one — and they need information that is complete, current, and honest about the trade-offs. That is who every book is written for. The moment a title starts softening what's difficult or omitting what's inconvenient, it fails that reader. That is not something 115 Meridian is willing to do.
