Where is the best place for familes to live
Hiya, we are in the early stages of applying for our visa, just wondering where is the best place for a family to live, what the local schools are like etc, anything that you can think of really that would help us out! would be great to get some inside info beforehand, Thanks

Re: Where is the best place for familes to live
We have lived in Bunbury for a year now and love it.
Here are some Bunbury websites you could try (if you haven't seen them already!)
mybunbury.com
bunburyonline.com
mysouthwest.com.au
For accomodation prices you could try realestate.com.au
Hope this helps
Sue
Good luck

Re: Emigrating later this year.......
Hi everyone, my name is martin and I am a self employed carpenter living in West Sussex, England and have my own business building loft conversions. Have just passed my TRA and I am currently applying for my visa along with my wife Steph and 3 daughters aged 18, 14 and 10.
We want to move to Perth for some reason, have some friends there so maybe that is swaying us at the moment but would love to hear from anyone who lives there or is at the same stage as myself for some guidance as where to live etc. We are thinking of somewhere along the coast i.e. fremantle, rockingham, Scarborough etc. Somewhere away from the city but not too far away.
if anyone has any advice on better places to live, then please drop me a line and it would be much appreciated.
Many thanks and look forward to hearing from you.

Re: Where is the best place for familes to live
we have just come back from a month rekkie looking for a place for my family to live..
this might help..
everywhere we visited looked exactly the same, what ever suburb you decied on, there will be a new housing development for you to buy a house on..
what you need to do is pick somewhere that gives you everything you need.
get a map ..
do you need to be by the city?
where are you going to work?
do you want to be by the sea?
do you want to live in the hills?
how much do you want to pay for your house?
check out the school league tables.
how long are you prepared to travel for?
do you need to have two cars?
you need to get out there and have a look..its a massive place and only you can decied what is best for you and your family..you dont want to be moving you children from school to school
if i can help in any way drop me a line..
