Flying out to perth 22/08/11 feeling very nervous now we have got to this stage, so much to do. We are looking at securing a rental in Secret Harbour for the first 4-6 weeks and would be grateful if anyone could give us any information on the area. We are a family of 5 myself kelly(32),husband Tony (31) 3 children aged 8,7 and 2 would love to hear from anyone who is settled or will be settling in the area. Thanks in advance Kelly

Hi Kelly

 

Secret Harbour is a popluar area for Poms, the area is falrly new, but has established schools, shops etc. The biggest draw for me would be the fantastic beach, it's well known as a surf beach, so watch the littlies in the surf, but if you want calmer waters, the beaches of Rockingham or Mandurah are great for kids. Having said that August maybe isn't really beach weather anyway. We have settled in Rockingham, and love living in this area.

 

If you want any more specific info about areas then please let me know I would be happy to help. :smile:

Hi Tracey thanks for reply,How long have you been in perth? Did you go to Rockingham first or did you stay somewhere else when you first arrived,we have looked at Rockingham,Mandurah and Port Kennedy still unsure of the area we will settle in long term but hopefully in one of these will have to look round once we arrive. Did it take you long to settle and make friends. I hope you dont mind all the questions Thanks Kelly

Hi Kelly

 

We have been here 4 years now and love it - We came straight to Rockingham for 2 reasons really, firstly we knew a couple of people here so it was easier to start somewhere that we could have help if needed; and secondly we had been over on holiday a couple of times and travelled around, and kept getting drawn back to the south, oh and there seem to be more dog beaches down here, and that was important to us.

 

As for settling, yes we settled really quickly and now are Aussie citizens. I joined a few clubs, netball and volleyball so that has helped me meet likeminded people, you just have to get yourself out there :smile:

 

Good luck with it

Tracey
