Dave's right. If you have a family and need a house, all you'll get for your budget is something very ordinary in the outer suburbs of Perth - that's fine if you don't mind a long drive to the beach but there won't be cafes, restaurants, pubs etc - except for Maccas and maybe a cafe inside a shopping centre.

I think Perth's a nice place to bring kids up, but it's so very different to a UK city that Brits sometimes suffer a bit of culture shock!

We're north of the river, in Morley. Will be downsizing soon though, the house is way too big for us now.

Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide, Perth, Newcastle, Wollongong, even Geelong would all be better places to live if you want proper beaches.

Anyone who says otherwise is just deluded.

Been told by locals that even Geelong isn't far enough to avoid the sewage. It's got to be from Torquay onwards & Rye, seaside off course
