ONLY a 40 minute drive south from Perth, the city of Rockingham is a popular destination offering a seaside resort lifestyle with plenty of job opportunities.
Modern and efficient infrastructure and services combine with some of the most magnificent aquatic and marine based natural experiences found along the Western Australian coastline.
Whether it be a visit to the penguin viewing facility, a dive off one of the many neighbouring islands, sailing a yacht within the protected bays, recreational boat and jetty fishing, enjoying the stretches of white sandy beaches or swimming amongst the wild dolphins that inhabit the local bays - Rockingham promises a memorable and unique experience.
Rockingham enjoys a reputation as a popular summertime holiday destination. Its unique north facing beaches provide sheltered swimming most of the year.
Likewise the southern facing Safety Bay area offers some of the best sailing and windsurfing conditions in the state.
Shortly to be connected to Perth and south of Mandurah by a rail line, Rockingham also offers a wide range of blue collar skilled jobs, with reasonable house prices.
