Default Living in Busselton

So another year nearly gone and the wife and I are contemplating a sea change.
We're toying with the idea of selling up everything in Perth and moving the family to Busselton or surrounds.
We have 2 boys, 5 and 2.
Just wondering if anyone here lives in Busselton or down south, and would you recommend it?
What's the medical facilities like? Schools etc..
What's your thoughts?
Cheers

Technically, Busselton is a sea change. I live in the Collie area, which is more of a tree change.

Living in the SW is worthwhile, esp if employment isn't an issue, 2hrs to Perth, so thats a day trip. Great roads, so much less traffic, and stress.

Im in bunbury and I find it great living down south.
Plenty of schools to choose from just depends on what you want really. Pretty sure there is a new hospital getting built/already been built in busso (vasse).
Would be good to have more people with wrx's to meet up with down here, so far I have met none haha.

If not for work, I would be still living down there. It really depends on what industry you are in.

As for meeting other like minded folk, there is a club down there called Down South Street Cars that have regular meets and track days. A few wrx owners (unfortunately some evo's too ) and they are a friendly bunch. Also pretty sure they are CAMS affiliated

Sea change, corrected

My line of work would mean a career change, but I'm not too fazed. Lifestyle is obviously the primary reason for the thought of moving down south.

Plz have been driving to Vasse and back in a day twice a week for the last month for work, easily a day trip :P

very nice part of the country, as said allready if it wasnt for work would love to live down that way, also alot cheaper.
