LooBoo

Where else can you have the river, the train and be only 11kms from the city. It feels semi-rural, with lots of massive trees and some great bush walks that make you feel like you are somewhere else in the world.
I love that there are still big blocks, some massive ones along the river. Horses are still a regular sight. The river is fabulous and runs south of Bassendean and continues around the suburb on the East, so most walks meet the river. I love the diversity of people in Bassendean, a few eccentric characters and an amazing resource of creativity. We have many hidden talents among the TV & film industry hiding within the suburb. One well known identity is Rolf Harris. The people are amazingly friendly. I have made stronger friendships here in the last 4 years than a lifetime in my home town. I also love the diversity of people, some super rich along side the everyday man. I love that the dogs I come across are generally the happy cutesy type and not the I want to rip your leg off and take it home for supper. The markets are also a great edition. I live conveniently only 800metres from Coles & Woolworths. If I had to leave, I don't know where I would go.
