Hi, as a newbie just been spending last few times on he looking at different posts.
Saw this one asking about Albany , we are hoping to move there if our visa ever comes through.
Read your other post saying about u being young at heart & with a great social side always out kids grown up etc
my husband & i have been there twice, 1st time in 1992 when i was 18 & he was 22, the place is beautiful but not got the night life you would want we found Perth better. Nothing on "TOTS"!!!!!
We recently went over in 2006 now married & with kids, the place has changed alot but still not the the buzzing nightlife.
A very relaxed family town gets alot of tourism as right on the coast with beautiful beaches & views well worth a vists.
our main reason for going there is family, going to give it a go if not to our liking will try other areas thats all you can do.
Hope this of some help, c u are essex area too, so may chat to you if at the essex meet on the 13 july!

Thanks for that. TOTS.........you are showing your age now! Yep see you on the 13th.
Anyone live in either of these places and can give a rundown of what they are like please?

Geraldton is a 5 hour drive from Perth (north of Perth so hotter temps in the summer but warmer winters), Kalgoorlie is approx 6 hours inland on a train from Perth, think its an 11 hour drive or something like that (and gets very hot in summer - its mining region as well) and Albany is most probably about 6 hours south from Perth. All very beautiful places but very quiet and Kalgoorlie is in the gold fields so not much there I'm afraid apart from maybe one or two pubs and a small number of hotels.
