Most of you who regularly visit this site probably know my situation. I have 3 kids 4, 2 and 5 weeks. My OH and I can't make up our minds whether to move to Kinross, Joondalup and surrounding area or the Rockingham area and hoped you could provide us with your views. No doubt we will visit some areas but my wife wants to settle very quickly. My 2 daughters (4) love sport clubs ie running, swimming and gymnastics. They also love the idea of horse riding. My son (5 weeks) will also be sporty!! Apart from sport we want good schooling and easy access to shops and beach. My OH still thinks she is a model and loves good clothes shops!

Well you've covered most expectations. As mentioned in previous threads, you need to know where you will work, then you can decide where you will live. There are opportunities for your kids North or South of the river.
Stop being so fickle and make a decision on what you really want.

Thanks mate. I'll settle quite easily anywhere it's just making sure that my kids are happy and can get access to what they alreaady have very easy access to here within a mile radius. Work strangely enough won't be too much of a problem for a year or two so finding the correct area for kids is the importance. If you live in Perth are you saying that these sport facilities are available in both Kinross and Rockingham areas? Cheers

We lived in Kinross and I can honestly say I thought it was a great suburb, walk to school, train station just up the road, beach five minutes away, quite nice houses, park and Joondalup shopping centre 5 minutes away by car.

I really liked that suburb, mind you I liked Rockingham when we visited there as well

Kinross very central and drive 35 minutes to Perth City..

Arena Sports Centre just up the road as well. with a nice swimming bath..

All of those areas are really good, alot of English choose that area, I live close to Joondalup but moving to Hillarys soon.

Your children will love the Arena sports centre my younger siblings do and it has a great gym for me and my partner too :-)

Youv'e asked this question at least ten times since you became a BE member! In addition you've asked about working as a teacher, opening a sandwich shop and maybe moving to Melbourne and what benefits you can claim the minute who set foot on Australian soil. An awful ot of people have taken the time to patiently answer your questions.

Give it a rest!

Come over, stay in a furnished rental or caravan park for a couple of weeks, drive around - then make up your mind.

I'd say Joondalup/Kinross. I like it here.

My experience of "Rocky" aka "the swinging pig" is that there are too many ferals living there.
