[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, there are people who are politically intolerant. But that's true here too. And to say there's "very little culture" suggests that the person hasn't looked very hard.

I'll say that the Jewish community is probably going to be smaller than you are used to and Jewishness more invisible than it is in the US. Separation of church and state is much less enforced, and schools are likely to have official celebrations and cultural observances of Christian holidays. I wouldn't expect prayer in school, but I'd definitely expect Santa. I'd also not expect the same level of familiarity with Jewish traditions and Jewish life that you'd find in the US -- while I'd expect people to be open minded and welcoming, I wouldn't, for instance, expect your kid's teacher to be aware of Jewish holidays.

Mt Lawley is a sweet neighborhood, not too far out. I'd say that you'd be perfectly comfortable in that broad north of the river swathe from, say, Maylands/Inglewood to the east, Wembley/Floreat to the west, north into Osbourne Park/Tuart Hill, Yokine. The beachside neighborhoods are also very nice but get pricier the closer you get to the ocean. The neighborhoods around UWA are also lovely -- also, the closer to the water, the more expensive.

Thank you!  This is very helpful![/quote]
