I haven't been on this forum since I emigrated here in Feb 13, but I logged on today and spotted this so re registered to answer you. We moved to Rocky as it was near the beach but affordable, and have to say it's the best move we could have made. We love it here! Yes there are bogans,but there are lots of lovely people too. We are moving house this weekend ( to another house in Rockingham)and have so many people volunteering to help us out with the move, all friends we have made since moving here, poms, Aussies and kiwis. The beaches are just gorgeous, we feel like we are living in paradise. As for the schools, my son went to Safety Bay primary which he loved, and now goes to Rockingham Senior High where he is thriving. Yes it had a terrible reputation a few years ago, but the teachers have worked really hard to turn it around, and are doing a great job. If you can get your kids into one of the specialist programmes they are fantastic, my son is in the academic stream and loves it. Yes there are some feral kids, but you get that everywhere. Anyway, that's my two cents, hope it helps.
