Any ideas what large WA towns are worth considering other than Perth?
I have decided on Western Australia, and obviously Perth has been my immediate choice, but I think it would make sense to consider any other town with a population of over, say 8000.
I am particularly interested in towns South of Perth, as I prefer to avoid any climate that is too muggy or hot (Perth is fine).
Does anyone know what other towns are worth considering for a family moving over?

We've got our eye on Bunbury, it's about 2 hours south of Perth.

It depends also, I guess, on family life and job prospects. I'll check out the site.
Thanks

We really fancy living in Bunbury, but where we end up will depend on Malc's work.
The other place we like the look of is Mandurah, but until we get there and get sorted who knows.

Have you found any realestate sites online that cover Bunbury?
I would like to consider all places south of Perth, if anything just to discount them. I'd sure like a good idea of which town before I arrive there in October.
I'm considering changing careers anyway, so maybe this would be the ideal circumstance.
