Re: Waikiki, Rockingham?
Hey all you W.A ers what's the place like? My boy finally got posted to Garden Island & has found himself a rental somewhere in Waikiki. Deb & I will doubtless be heading over that way in the near future. He wants us to go & work in the mines so we can live with him [ergo look after his dog when he sails out]. Not much call for tilers in a mine
I may have to send Deb
I may have to send DebGet yourselves a couple of return tickets, come over for a week or so and take a look around.

Serpentine is really lovely. Drove out there a few times.
I often think about the more rural-ish properties too and then I think about snakes in the front yard and ugh, that kinda settles it for me.

Do you have three toes and did you marry your cousin?
if so then you'll be great!
there are some nice areas in kwinana, we have friends who live in kwinana, however the most scared I have ever been in my LIFE was driving round kwinana at 0100 trying to find HIm and his girlfriend from work who were too pissed to read the road signs to tell me where they actually were...
gangs of abororiginal yooves roaming looking for trouble, call me racist BUT!... My mates sone was bottled last night by a gang or aboriginal yooves on the piss looking for "fun" walking home from rocko station...
I have friends who grew up in kwinana... They say the same.... They moved up market to rockingham, waikiki and Port Kennedy....

So he was bottled in Rocky and you're slagging off Kwinana
Hope you've got your tin hat on and you've polished your windows in your glass house
You can't get a bigger advocate for Rocky than Eds. We love you for it

Honestly mate I CANT believe you're a moderator on his forum and havent been cAlled upon to sort out the
Shockingham is a shite hole full of piss poor boagan pommies brigade at some point!!!!
Its a lovely town, full of normal working people, established, it has a heart, it has character, ok it has "history" but it has abhuge future.. And with the mariner development ( NO NO NO NO NO!!!!!) its where the smart money is moving to... In preparation for the future development thats coming......
Which is one reason we're looking to move out... We like it as it is...
Let me know when you're in town visiting and I'll take you out and about and i'll give you the low down on the area...
In fact would you like to buy a 5x2 plus study, double garaged with three phase and pool.... On 880 squares of Rockinghams best kept secret location?
Walk to beach, walk to city centre, cul de sac next to the city park?
I may just be selling one....

Nope, grey nomads will be making the five acres a real possibility... Tho they are active enough to be of use if anyone wanted a live in cook/cleaner/ childcare/ gardener thrown in... We would write into any contract that they can be returned when they become senile or incontinent if you like

Re: Waikiki, Rockingham?
Hey Ed, I've been house hunting with my SIL cus my brother is a FIFO worker so not home all the time. They are looking out the Serpentine way and I'll tell you what if I could afford it I'd move like a shot. It's only 20 mins down Karnup road so half hour away from Rocko - absolutely beautiful and peaceful. Dont know how much 5 acre properties are they are looking at 1 acre for around 560ish.
Cresta, you really need to come on over and test the water - near the garden island entrance is a beach (point perron) really interesting with lots rocks, little coves - great for those who don't like to just sit paddle and sunbathe but great also for those who do. As they say home is where you make it.
