Armadale, Perth
Just wondering if anyone on the boards lives or knows much about Armadale. Thinking about this area if we finally manage to move over in September.
Thank you.
Thank you.

Re: Armadale, Perth
Well, you guys are honest I'll give you that! Thanks though. Will be studying in Cannington so trying to look online at what's available. Needs to be a family home for 3 of us. Looking at around $400 per week. Needs to have a good family vibe.
Loved the look of Secret Harbour but may be too far out? I will be buying either a motorbike or a scooter when I arrive so a bit quicker than being in car.

Off to have a look Dorothy. Thank you. We're out on holiday next month so want to narrow down a few good areas rather than wasting time in crap ones!

We'd love to come further South but the course is in Cannington and it is the only place that does it. We'd be further South in a shot.

Wall and Floor tiling in Cannington (hopefully). Still to apply for visas but we don't envisage any problems with getting them.
Glad you are enjoying it though. When does your course finish?

It has its fair share of trouble but is starting to improve with new development. Older parts have some nice properties on large blocks in quite rural settings. But as I say, it has a fair amount of trouble from what i can tell. There is potential to see some good capital growth though if you can get through for a few years.
