We have the best of worlds regarding the place where we live. Our nearest city is Perth Western Australia, the most isolated city in the world. The city itself is only a 40 minute commute yet my husband and I rarely go there these days. We live in the hills above the city off the main highway to the eastern states. Yet although we live only a short way from the highway our road is quiet, leafy and rural. Our little town of Mundaring has everything we need within walking distance. The public library is a two minute walk from our house. We are surrounded by bush land where we can walk our dog each day. On that walk we encounter many kangaroos, prolific bird life and in the season masses of wildflowers. In fact WA has the most diverse flora in the world. I love where we live and wouldn’t exchange it for anywhere else. If we wish to go to the beach we can be there in half an hour. We have tried inner city living and although it has it’s benefits, the noise level is very off putting to us. We love the sounds of the bandicoots in our garden, the birdsong and the the wind in the trees. Western Australia is the best kept secret in the World.
