loobyloo85 Posted July 30, 2015 Report Share Posted July 30, 2015 Hi I'm at the very beginning of the visa process but wanted to look into different suburbs as the last time me and hubby were in Perth we didn't have children now we have an 8 year old and an 18month old likely to be 10 and 2.5 . I'm hoping to get a job at the children's hospital in Perth but don't want to live in city centre due to expense and not ideal for kids! Wondering what advice you could give me about good areas to look at and also commuting times as I'm a nurse and will prob work shifts what transport will be available to me. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashlenelouise Posted July 30, 2015 Report Share Posted July 30, 2015 I currently live in jolimont/ daglish, there are plenty of children's parks around and a school close by, I'm working at nedlands ( which isn't in the city). I am catching the train everyday. you will be surprised at how efficient the train service is and how inexpensive it is xx p.s I'm also a nurse lol x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loobyloo85 Posted July 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2015 I think in my mind I thought the train would be really expensive as in the UK it can be. what about times it runs though is it quite flexible? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashlenelouise Posted July 30, 2015 Report Share Posted July 30, 2015 From my particular station they run from 5.43am to 3.15am, depends on your station, and no I have a smart rider and the train journey works on zones. I don't know if you have a map handy, but I live in daglish and my other half commutes to Rockingham and it costs him approx 13$ a day x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loobyloo85 Posted July 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2015 Wow that's really good we have looked at Leda and Wellard and also spear wood and baldivis but can't decide on any really. None of them near work but too expensive to live nearer city Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loobyloo85 Posted July 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2015 Am I right in thinking the new children's hospital will be in nedlands? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashlenelouise Posted July 31, 2015 Report Share Posted July 31, 2015 I am unsure about the children's hospital, I'm at Hollywood private and I'm adult trained. Can you drive? You can pick up a cheap run around for around $1000 on gumtree. A lot of local garages also advertise on there. So worth a look. We have been advices from friends here that if it's an older car to make sure it is registered (rego) as its a palava if it isn't xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonG Posted July 31, 2015 Report Share Posted July 31, 2015 Am I right in thinking the new children's hospital will be in nedlands? Yes that's right, it's in Nedlands on the corner of Winthrop Avenue and Monash Avenue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
