Hi KimberleeG92, Yep, we are now in Kalgoorlie. Here's the pro's and con's of living here, based on how we feel as a family who moved from Perth. Pro's + no traffic + small town (therefore, going to work or grocery takes 5-10 minutes. Maximum could be 30 minutes if you work in the mining area) + few people (so you become familiar with some faces you meet) Con's - nowhere "near" to go to during weekends (except if you want to do camping/BBQ'ing every week) - local activities are not as organized as the ones in the city - lack of medical specialists - unavailability of some TAFE/special courses (i listed it down if you plan on taking some courses) despite the cons, we are sticking around until an opportunity comes up. economy is bad. xoxo

I have been searching the thread for information about Kalgoorlie. Most recent replies were kinda outdated. For people who are living there, how is the situation there right now? Are the primary schools good? Medical clinics available? Is it safe and good enough to live there as a family? Tia!

@shell14 hi how was your move so far? How did you transfer your things from your previous loc to kalgoorlie?

Just bumping this thread... We are living in Perth but I am about to accept a job in Kalgoorlie. However, i am fishing for information such as; 1. Best public primary school 2. Are there many activities for kidd Especially for 7-8yrs? 3. Which street/suburb is the best for a family to live 4. Are there available jobs for electricians? Thanks

I am also planning to move to Australia by January 2014 with my 6 y/o boy. Same as betty1's case, we don't have aplace to live yet. Should I choose a place/area first then look for a school in that area OR look for a school (based on their standing) and then look for a place near that school? thanks!
