Hello,
Well just received WA state nomination and have just finished our 176 Visa online application. The WA government gave us 3 areas, one of them being Peel. This appeals to us as it is still close to Perth, is now on the rail link and from looking on REIWA the house prices look a little cheaper.
Does anyone know much about this area, I really did not do too much research as we did have our heart set on Perth Metro (I guess we could always contact WA and ask if we could locate to Perth Metro), but just from looking on the web, it does seem that Mandurah is nice and it seems like an up and coming town, with lots of opportunities for my OH who is in HVAC.
We will be moving with twin girls who are 14 now but will be closer to 15 once we actually move. They are both outdoorsy types who love to swim, love dolphins and horseriding. I really don't mind where we live, as long as it is a nice neighbourhood and safe. We live in a nice neighbourhood in Canada right now, we even leave our house unlocked all day and we have lots of wildlife (deer, ducks etc) around us, so we would want something comparable in Oz. Hopefully something near a beach would be good.
Any ideas from someone living in Mandurah or the surronding area would be great. I will still continue to research on the web, however, it is always nice to hear from someone with first hand knowledge.
Cheers
Karen
