Iluka is really nice :lol:

I think Ellenbrook/Aveley look like a great place to live, quite affordable, and in the Swan Valley which is nice

Re: perth....suburbs to avoid???
 

well we have been here 18 months now and lived in 3 different areas in my opinion children just dont play out like they do in the UK, my 9 year old has found this very difficult to adjust to as she was used to playing with a group of friends and only coming home for food and drinks !

Re: perth....suburbs to avoid???
 

Does your daughter not invite anyone around to play and then go out. I find it is because kids seem to do a lot of after school activities. We have swimming, drama, clarinet, keyboard as well as homework etc. There doesn't seem to be anytime to play out during the week.

They do in my street, loads of kids mucking about and having fun. We're lucky to live in a cul-de-sac with lots of families with kids of a similar age.

Plenty of impromptu street parties/barbies with the grownups too.

We're very lucky.

Re: perth....suburbs to avoid???
 

they do on my cul- de - sac there are 4 families who live next door to each other on different sides of the rd who play together - oldest is 9 the youngest is 2


there are 5 boys and 2 girls - they all play together - on their bikes etc play in each others gardens - houses - families get on great i am very lucky that i live on my rd -

when i was ill a few weeks ago - hubby was with me at the hospital - and neighbours looked after my chimps for us - fed them - cleaned my house for me - did all my washing - my family was well looked after - and no one was asked to help they did it all on their own backs -

when i said thank you and sent the girls flowers they replied - its what neighbours do for each other - and you would have done the same for us with out being asked

even my next door neighbour who doesn't have kids( or really like them ) - took master/miss hitch for the afternoon - because my other neighbour had to go out and get stuff for tea - my neighbour - had them for the whole afternoon - when my other neighbour came back and tried to collect the kids - other neighbour said that she was having such fun that she would have them for the whole afternoon - and drop them back after she had given them their tea !


she has since said master/miss hitch are so well behaved - well manned little children and a huge credit to me and mr hitch


i am blessed with my street - and i cant tell you how thankful i am for having such fab neighbours when i was so sick - i think it def help mr hitch as he was so worried about me - and he did feel torn between being with the kids and coming to the hospital and being with me

my street is the BEST street in wa and i have the best neighbours x
i have now stoped my gushing :wub:

Re: perth....suburbs to avoid???
 

Very similar to where I live. My son is only 5, so still a bit young to play in the street but the kids from across the street are always in our pool and Josh is always over there on their trampoline.

I love to see/hear kids playing and having fun.
