rachell Posted August 10, 2014 Report Share Posted August 10, 2014 great news, we had our visa granted ten days ago, flew out on Saturday and are now sat in our holiday home in port bouvard wondering what the hell we are doing! hahaha booked in at the bank in am to collect cards etc, then off to start house hunting! can anyone give any tips on where to start? thinking of a six month ish rental until we get on our feet, we don't need to be near schools or anything as we have no children! any areas to avoid/go see? also if anyone is around and looking for friends give us a shout, we feel very overwhelmed at present!

Lou8670 Posted August 10, 2014 Report Share Posted August 10, 2014 Welcome! Gosh you move fast!!! I'd carefully consider where you want to work and if in Perth how far you want to commute. If you like going out and don't have kids you might want to be nearer the city. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy little Vegemite Posted August 10, 2014 Report Share Posted August 10, 2014 Welcome to Mandurah! We live in seascapes (new halls head) and really love it (we do have kids though and love that we can walk to school), 5 minutes walk to the coffee shop and beach. Personally I would be weary of living to the west of old coast road due to problems with mozzies being so close to the inlet, but this is just my thoughts, no personal experience of whether this is actually fact or not, they were bad enough for us last night where we live I would also be weary of the older suburbs, the ones near the forum, some of them seem a bit rough!
