Posting links to articles in "The West" often doesn't work, but I'll try anyway: http://www.thewest.com.au/default.as...ontentID=31666
Here are three excerpts from the article:
"You can call it Rocky, Shockingham or Swinging Bacon, just don’t call it Boganup.
Rockingham mayor Barry Sammels has hit back at claims that Mandurah’s northern neighbour is the home of mullet-sporting hoons, saying the coastal community is young, vibrant and one of the fastest growing regions in the State."
(...)
"Macquarie Dictionary defines bogan as a person, generally from an outer suburb of a city and from a lower socio-economic background who is viewed as uncultured.
In 2001, Mandurah and Rockingham had some of the highest unemployment rates in the metropolitan area."
(...)
"Duane Bell, Jason Blundell and Holly Sejournee felt the bogan tag was well deserved but said most residents were proud of it."

We are flying out in just over a week and were looking to buy a house around Rockingham/Port Kennedy. Is this not the best idea then!

Re: Boganup (Rockingham re-named)
We had to beat up three Monkeys, er....doormen, just to get in. Then getting to the bar was a different story altogether! Couldn't actually see it for football shirts (all English)....Got our drinks (eventually), then managed to find a piss/ alcohol/ god knows what, stained seat...only to have some leery Aussie on his own, spend the next hour drooling at Mrs F...culminating him making an attempt to come and chat her up!
Bear in mind I was sat right next to her and OBVIOUSLY her BF! Needless to say, he didn't stay long! 
Very worrying indeed, especially as we had been recommended this place by several people of varying nationalities.
