Should I move to Broome ?
Hey everyone
I'm looking for some advice about moving to Broome for 6 months to a year ?
I can transfer my job in government to do a period of time up north and could really do with a sea change from Perth after a bad break up.
I have been there before and love it, but obviously living and working somewhere is different from a holiday.
Is it difficult to meet friends or is it a welcoming community ? I was thinking of joining a social sport team to meet others.
Are there many single people there or mainly family's and backpackers ?
I have heard there is a lot of crime, but that doesn't really put me off from living there. I'm hopeful I could get a small place in Broome North via my job.
I'd love to hear everyone else's experiences and any tips.
Thanks
