Que Sera Sera Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 Yeah! Just googled "Mandurah breakfasts" and there are heaps of nice places listing average prices from under $10 to $25! Great value! [emoji4] :laugh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul1977 Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 But legally and technically we are the outskirts of Perth Metro, so not misleading at all. 45 Minutes Drive, how far do you get driving 45 minutes out of London? The same distance as you do in Sydney and Melbourne.....and have you seen the freeway going south at rush hour... must take 1.5 hours to drive your 45 minute trip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Living the dream mate, living the dream :wink: P.S. I live in Perth not Sydney or Melbourne . Edited June 14, 2015 by Que Sera, Sera Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flag of convenience Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 Different Country Paul had you not noticed? Lots more space! But according to Auspost and Deliveries etc we are part of Perth. Personally I'm happier being part of Mandurah as I'm not a big city person. It just shows the absurdity of Perth metro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Que Sera Sera Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 It just shows the absurdity of Perth metro. It is absurdly big I agree , sprawling in fact, but I'm glad I don't live closer, no need for us to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flag of convenience Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 Just googled Mandurah, looks a lovely place. It actually ranks rather high in unemployment and social issues. Not denying as everywhere there are of course desirable parts in what is a very spread out locality in itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd possibly go more Bunbury (and have thought about it) if going in that direction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bunbury is lovely, we actually were looking at blocks down that way a few weeks back. It's proximity to the south west especially. My OH has distant relatives living at Boyanup, lovely place.

Guest Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 Must compare everything from UK and Oz in a negative manner... I'm sick of these long Sandy beaches in QLD, can't find a superior pebble beach like back in Brighton anywhere:realmad: . Also, can you believe the waiting times at the local fish and chipper? Making it to order instead of serving up yesterdays in a few seconds.:cry: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
