If you want a quiet life that is not too far from the resources of the city this is the place to be.
You can have a home hidden in the hills or bush, or you can have a home on the main street. Where ever you choose in Bindoon environs you will be 'in the country' and i like it that way. The basketball and netball seasons are huge for all ages and a great social venue. Lawn Bowls is hugely popular for the older folks who invite younger people in for corporate nights or scroungers. Exercise classes are available for all ages. Volunteering is another avenue for social interaction - becoming an 'ambo' or a 'firey', or one of the many vollies who support this community of people. Then there are the landcare helpers - we have a river feeding through a huge lakes system which ensures we will not be built out in a hurry, plus we have the best mandarins and oranges of the state grown here. Sure there are a great variety of pies at the bakehouse, and there are good wines and olive oils grown and produced too. We are living in a food bowl that will be protected by people who love the country life, clean air, healthy living. Having a love for the great outdoors is useful, and with that love generally comes a tolerance and understanding of all the critters that have a purpose in the ecology of the environment. The community is welcoming of people who want to be part of a community.
You need to have a next G mobile service but reception is available in most places. Internet is available where ever phone is and every year it gets better. I have adsl.
The primary school is small so children have names and every one knows each other. Secondary schooling has a multitude of options, an agricultural college 10km north of the town, or school bus service to many private schools near midland or govt high schools in gingin or bullsbrook.
Electricity is available to all properties. Reticulated Water is available to some properties, and pretty much everyone has their own water tank to drink rainwater without the chemical impurities applied in the city.
The climate is dry heat when hot, the coast is a fair way, the wind is a breeze most days. Autumn like most places is anybody's guess. Winter time is green country with wood fires in most homes. Spring is an abundance of wildflowers painting a canvas of colors on the landscape. Summer is the gold and olive colors of the Australian landscape.
If you like your home, and being home, this is a great place to live with a community that cares.
