"Bridgetown (a town for retirees)"
I do feel safe here and now have good neighbours and I would never move back to Perth (been here 8 years). However, be aware it is hard to get good well paid regular work, so don't come here if you are looking for a career as your options are limited, (unless you want to drive 100km to Bunbury each day). The cost of living is higher than Perth and other larger areas. Food is expensive at the local supermarkets and you have to travel for general affordable, clothing items. There are a lot of nice people here, however a lot of not so nice too! Houses are generally way over priced for what you get. I think it is a good place for people with young children or self funded retirees with plenty of money to get away for a break occasionally. Did I mention the trucks....they speed through town day and night without consequence!
