<p>Hi John & Lisa,</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Very happy to hear you enjoyed the Gold Coast, pity not such good feelings for Perth though.</p>

<p>At least its a good idea to see both.</p>

<p>Places to live in Perth : we like Yanchep, Butler, Caramarr, Tapping, Quinns Beach (possibly too dear), Somerly. </p>

<p>Silver Sands or Medora Bay in Mandurah have pretty beaches too and are areas I believe have some good prices but we definitely prefer north.(Too industrial on south side, that was a bit of a Yuk for us.)</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Perth - Kings park, Yanchep lagoon/beach, Two Rocks beach, Butler and lake, Mindarie marina incl 'The Boat'(drinks a bit expensive though) and beach, Hillary's sorrento quay (lots there incl. food,aquarium,boats to Rottnest Isl.), Rottnest Island, Scarborough beach, Mullalloo beach, Mettams pool, Burns beach, Ocean Keys shopping centre, Hogs Breath Cafe, Butler show homes, Sunset coastal drive (road near beach), Iluka suburb (expensive but pretty), Mandurah marina, Silver sands beach, Medora Bay and Perth city (especially near Swan Bells). Other people recommend Freemantle. Personally didn't rate Secret Harbour much.</p>

<p>You can see our Perth pics to see if there's anything you like the look of.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>We found there was quite a bit of glass at parks near Mandurah beaches and the toilets were not as good as others.</p>

<p>Hope this helps.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Hope Perth improves for you and look forward to hearing all your stories and findings soon,</p>

<p>Have a lovely time,</p>

<p>Gina, Steve & co</p>
