I've got a couple of friends in Perth, not many thou. I'm still torn between Perth and Gold Coast to be honest. Got some Family on the Gold Coast. I've never been to Perth so it's hard to have a feel for it without ever visiting. What about yourself?
Not looking forward to the IELTS test. Booking it for 1st Nov. Got my Vetassess practical on 6th Nov too so a lot on. Didn't realise the paper assessment would come back so soon so had to book IELTS sooner than I planned. Don't want to hold up the application, as like yourself need to get it in before Feb!
