Dobbsy Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 Hi, we have just moved to Secret Harbour - staying with my sister, but will move after Christmas, as we are on a 475 visa and have visa restrictions. Therefore we are looking to live in 6210 post code, a little further south towards Mandurah... Lakelands, Meadow Springs, Madora Bay etc??? We are from Derby/Nottingham area, are 39/40 years young and have two children (daughter 13 & son 10 which are now enrolled in Secret Harbour schools).. My husband is a footie fan and having withdrawal symptons already!!! he is also looking for someone to play golf with.... I enjoy the gym/classes and have joined The Club at Port Kennedy and am trying to work on my tan.... but it keeps raining !!!! LOL. Anyone out there with children of similar ages and/or common interests???? :biggrin: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Deboroo2 Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 Hello, my partner & I and our LO (13 months) will be coming over at the beginning of next year. Just wondered if you knew which areas (places to live & groups) of Mandurah are toddler friendly. I have heard Halls Head & meadow springs are nice. Are their suburbs which are touristy or to avoid? I don't drive so ideally like to be 20/30 min walking distance from shops etc. Thanking you in advance for your help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are from Nottingham, have a 13 year old daughter and a 10 year old son. We are both working.... so if we are free... then we will come. Thanks, look forward to it.
