      Finally arrived in beautiful Baldivis...and LOVING IT!!!!!!!

      Hi everybody...thought I would give an update on the move. Been in Baldivis for 2 days now and settling in really well. My daughter starts her swimming lessons tomorrow and I collect my new car on Wednesday. Thought I would be stopped at Customs due to carrying 1 years' supply of medication...I wasn't even sniffed at by the Customs dog!!!!! Great....then, I collected my hire car which I requested an upgrade as I had so much luggage, the car I initially requested would not have been large enough...so, got to my hire car in Car Park 3 to find I had been given a "boy racer" banana on wheels!!!!!! Embarrassed?!...oh yeah!!!!! Anyway, driving through beautiful Baldivis to my rental home made up for that!!! So happy to be in
      Oz. The family farewells were awful - too many tears! Hope to see some of you around. Take care, Michelle x

      So glad you are now over there living the dream Michelle, please keep in touch and keep me informed on the Baldivis area, i hope i am still on track for a CO in June time. If you don't mind me asking what are the rents like? i am really starting to panic with the cost of living and renting as i will only have my income which will be in aged care. We will have to meet up for a cuppa when i arrive all being well. PM me if you wish, so glad you are so happy.......... Yay!!

      Hi M,

      Really pleased you're in and settled, its a week on Tuesday for us to head over. Just sat in the Premier Inn behind the MentalCentre (sorry typo I of course meant MetroCentre!!).

      Wish we were there already, might try the upgrade space story with our rental agency and see what we get, it will be Bev's car so be great if they give her a purple Ute - lol...

      Anyway enjoy yourselves and once we're over we'll have say hi either at the local or somewhere else.

      All the best

      Jay & Bev

      We are in Baldivis also. Been here for 2 months and getting settled now. Could maybe meet up some time for a chat. Any others in the area welcome too. The social side is what we are really struggling with.

      So glad I found this thread, I have decided on Baldivis, unsure what attracted me initially but after reading all the positive posts I can't wait to get there, sadly not till June this year but reading this is keeping me motivated. Sharon
