  • Take in the views across the ocean from the bridge handing out over the cliff tops. But first take a walk through some highlights of Rockingham, Perth - Western Australia. Taking in some stunning views across Cape Peron.

    I have lived here for 46 years. My ancestors came down from Guildford used to take my ggrandmother 2 days in a horse and cart to Rockingham. A great place to live. why would you want to leave. Esther Grogan

      Oh wow, Esther, 46 years. You would have seen some big changes in Rockingham. I was shocked a few years ago when I saw how many apartment blocks had gone up.. I miss the character of the old timber jetty that I remember on Palm beach.. The new concrete one is just not the same.. but must say, I loved what they have done at Point Peron.. Loved those walking trails, they weren’t there when I used to holiday at Point Person with the family at Christmas time.. mind you the holiday cottages aren’t there any more either.. so many great memories.. 😊

      Hi Keith, what a great idea. I must do another one that takes in lake Richmond, and Warnbro beach. I recently did a follow up video that took in Penguin Island, Seal and Bird Island.. so beautiful. The day I filmed this I just ran out of time... There is so much beauty around Rockingham. Love to hear your feedback on my Penguin Island video, you sound like a local and someone that knows the area well. 😀👍

If you go down to Rockingham when you come, Penguin Island is down there also a great place to visit. (Just revisited the island to film one of my videos I just recently posted). How are things over in Boston? You guys been ok over there with covid? Boston is on a very nice river isn’t it?

    HI Grant! We're out of quarantine and we were in Cape Peron and Rockingham area just the other day... It is absolutely lovely down there that's for sure! House hunting continues, and we even looked at a place down there.
