Hillarys and once you get into the actual suburb it's quite nice and we haven't met that many Brits here. All of my neighbours are Ozzies and we get along brilliantly with them. We know 2 English families in Hillarys neither of whom wear Man U football shirts.

Without a doubt down at Hillarys Harbour which is a tourist mecca full of gift shops selling overpriced tat and expensive restaurants selling crap food you will get the type of Brits you are talking about especially at the weekend.

The thing is there is a very safe kiddies beach there, trampolines, water slides and funfair rides for the little ones and if that's what floats your boat it is the only place for miles that offers this. So with the amount of Brits in Perth it stands to reason that is where they will go for entertainment.

For Croydon facelifts, muffin tops, bling and Burberry go to Lakeside Shopping Centre in Joondalup

The Northern suburbs tag also covers any suburb NOR but tbh lots of suburbs do have a majority of Ozzies living in them. It tends to be the further north, the more Brits. The more southern northern burbs like North Beach, Marmion and Waterman's Bay are extremely expensive (median House price in Waterman's Bay was stated as $3million a couple of weeks ago) so you won't get your average new migrant living there and that is just 3 kms south of Hillarys.

To the OP, just because Tom Simpson Park where the fights are in Mullalloo have a no alcohol policy please don't think anyone takes any notice - they don't. We drive past there most days and there are still yobs and louts drinking usually sitting under the sign saying "No Alcohol" and wrecking the park as the place is monitored infrequently.

My husband goes surfing there every weekend and the yobs are coming out in force now Spring is here drinking and behaving antisocially on the beach.

It will be interesting to see what happens on Australia Day up there next year after this year's violence.

However, I agree with the poster who said the suburb is a nice place.

At the last census 2 years ago Hillarys had 13% English born people. Mullaloo 17%, Joondalup 19%. The highest in the northern suburbs north of Hillarys is Mindarie at 26% of English born people.

We also have a few people who are so stuck up its untrue. I would much rather someone in a football shirt who was down to earth than someone in an M&S shirt who thinks they are better than everyone else.

We're not expecting a cheaper cost of living ect.... We've been doing quite a lot of research in the past couple of weeks about where to travel to next year as we want to go and check places out, we want to be near the coast and around 45 mins to get to Perth. We have looked at Mullaloo which seems like a really nice area to live in. We don't want an area that is full of British people and the australian culture of living gone because of this, (hope I haven't offended anyone by saying this)!! I have heard that quite a few schools and areas are absolutely full of british people and so the Australian culture has disappeared is this true? Can anyone recommend any areas that are close to the coast and up to 45 mins drive to perth? The reason I have put this thread on is due to another thread that I found on this site that is now closed and I just got a little worried that's all; Teen stabbed by Pommies at Mullaloo : British Expat Discussion Forum

I know this is from 2 years ago and action has been taken because of this, (alcohol is now banned from the park), I am by no means saying that I hate brits I'm british after all but we want to move to a country to experiece their culture.

many thanks
