Re: Rockingham: Perth.
The main shopping centre is in Rockingham which has two supermarkets. I would not like to do my daily shopping there because of parking problems and the supermarkets itself. At the Warnbro Shopping centre, opposite Port Kennedy you have the best choice for grocery shopping (Woolies and Coles next to each other), two chemists, post office news agent and so forth. I Port Kennedy is a smaller shopping centre with IGA. Nearby Warnbo shops is a newish aquatic centre. Otherwise down that end you also have doctors, vet, dentist, Bunnings abd plenty more. These kind of services you find scattered all over Rockingham.
Secret Harbour is another nice estate, yet a bit at the end and a bit of a drive to the train and other services. It all depends what you want from your new life.

Hi
Re: schools
If you're thinking of Baldivis, Port Kennedy, Secret Harbour or Golden Bay then Tranby College is a lovely school.
I've just moved my girls there and am very happy with it - as is my cousin and a few other friends.
Good luck

We live in Rockingham, ... 5 minutes walk to beach, 5 minutes walk to city centre. Train to Perth CBD takes 25 minutes and fantastic schools (not over subscribed like in some areas) beautiful beaches (safe pommie swimming beaches) and REAL people... drive to freo in 30 minutes..
Love the bloody place... wouldn't live anywhere else

We're building at Baldivis North- in fact our pad went down today so we're very excited Area is developing by the day 10 mins from beach, and Rockingham, easy access to freeway. A great area that you should consider

Re: Rockingham: Perth.
Hi - i thought about Rockingham when i was moving out but discounted it after visiting. Today i have driven from Bunbury to Mandurah and then along the coast through Port Kenedy, Safety bay etc and the best place i saw along the way was a smaller place called Golden Bay. its much older and i felt had more character. (not knocking all the new 'estates' cos i live in one here but Golden Bay was beautiful
We would have looked to buy there but I was working in Redcliffe up near the domestic airport and spending over an hour each way driving to work.
If you can find a job locally like in Mandurah then I would be giving this suburb serious consideration!
