Yes thats the plan to live in / around Perth.

We're heading for Rockingham at the beginning of July 06!
Anyone else going around this time?

Hope to be there before then. Looks like we will end up the same kind of distance apart again as we are heading Rockingham/Mandurah direction.

Thats great Anne!

We are actually looking at anywhere in between Rockingham and Mandurah. Quite like the look of Port Kennedy/ Warnbro/ Secret Harbour and Golden Bay areas...............

What has prompted you to head for there?

We're going to Rockingham around the same time or hopefully a bit sooner (fingers crossed that we get our visas!). My inlaws live in Rockingham and we'll be staying with them till we get sorted During that time we want to explore other suburbs closer to Perth to see where we want to buy a house. My sister inlaw is moving to Applecross but thats way over our budget.

Good luck!

we're hoping to have a damn good look around all perth suburbrs - north and south etc to see where we might fancy living.

sounds like Applecross is an expensive area then !

We hope to be going July time - maybe we'll be on the same flight !

We are planning to go at the end of June/beginning of July as well. We are looking at Rockinham or thereabouts, we have family in Willetton, but I think that will be a little too close to the city for us. The plan is to be settled for the school third term, July 25 I think it begins.

Let us know how you get on - the areas you stated are the ones we're looking at so will be interested in how you find the schools as that's a priority for us too.

Man, it was hot in Perth today! I like the heat & thought I would have no trouble acclimatising (grew up in Africa) but I think it's going to be a while till I get used to it. Looks like it's going to be cooler tomorrow though.

It was a belter today but I think yesterday was even hotter. I was also surprised at how humid it was too. Around 38°C here in Port Kennedy, only 35°C today. And much cooler since the rain and thunder this evening..... ....ah, bliss.....

Sue

Ohhhhh I wish I was there - we're due snow again tonight and tomorrow - my electricity/gas bill is now nearly as high as my mortgage !!!

We are another new lot on the way (hopefully) to Perth.

Not sure where to go Manudurah or Rockingham or Safety Bay..

Anyone living in those places for advice please ???

We have a 7 and a 9 year old !!

Thanks

Nick

I was reading the other day that Perth is heading for MAJOR water shortages in the next decade. Anyone else hear about this? Is it a big issue on the ground?
