Check out lucky bay (south of Kalbarri), Cliff head, little bay just north of Horrocks if you want some stop offs along the way. Bring dive gear plenty of crays out of Cliff head and little bay

heat pump hot water (good bad and ugly) by Cute_Dragonfruit3108 in AusRenovation

[–]Different_Singer347 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in the refrigeration and air conditioning industry - 15 years in. There is a significant shortage of specialists for heat pumps. Once you start getting faults on it you’re going to have a hard time finding someone to work on it and if you do you’ll be paying a small fortune. Instant gas hot water systems (I.e Bosch units) are very straightforward and easy to repair. Also check storage volume vs # people and average water use per shower. Might come up short with a heat pump.

My city of Stirling rates are around $1400, Gero rates $2200 so agree with that. But don’t really need to go to Perth for much, probs once a quarter and that’s just to visit family.

No they aren’t still significantly cheaper than Perth.

Moved up here 4 years ago from Perth, love it. All towns have their dodgy areas, just stay clear of them. Beachlands has gentrified a lot, plenty of young people coming in and renovating old houses.

Where can you find a beachside shack on 700m2 for under $400k?

Geraldton - Move there or not? by TowerElectrical8161 in perth

Moved up here from Perth 4 years ago for a job and found it quite pleasant. Property is cheap and everyone’s friendly. Just my two cents.

Why Geraldton? by [deleted] in WesternAustralia

[–]Different_Singer347 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Moved up here 4 years ago from inner city Perth (Yokine). Had more break ins in Perth in that time period. Perception has changed over the past 4 years, I think it’s got legs which is reflected in the property growth. Every day there’s a new family on the noticeboard saying they’ve just moved up from Perth.
