Hi all. I am looking for a decent hairdresser NOR. Thanks xx

Hi we would like to come. 2 adults and 2 children. Looking forward to it. x

We said goodbyes/ see you soons at home not the airport. It's too upsetting but doesn't feel so bad once you are on your way. I've done it twice and would always say don't let family and friends go to the airport. It's the start of your adventure once your at the airport!

Hi all, We have seen a lovely rental in Edgewater. Does anyone have any information on the primary schools around there? What is the catchment area for Edgewater or where could I find this out please? I need to put my 6 year old into school as wasn't sure what schools were good in this area. Thanks J x

It was Sanur Rise Druid but we are not going for it now. Too far for my hubby to work I think. Back to the drawing board. Xx

Hi all, we have seen a lovely rental in Iluka but not sure of the area. If anyone could help that would be great. Thanks Jo

Hi all, What's Bull Creek like to live ? Also the primary schools? thanks

Thanks all, even though my daughter was sick on the plane, and now has chicken pox. She is covered bless her!! Xx

Hi there We are living in South Perth in a holiday apartment until our shipment arrives. We will be looking at suburbs to find a rental but not sure where to move to. I need to think about schools for my daughter. x

Hi all, Just thought I would share that we are now here. Getting used to life back here. The kids are loving it so far. We are just trying to sort things out. We don't have a car as yet but we are living in a holiday home right on the foreshore and there are cafes, shops and everything we need so we are all good so far. My husband starts work next week. That will be a shock for him and me with the kids. Leaving everyone was really hard but it didn't feel as hard as the first time round. I do feel guilty taking my children away from the grandparents. But they understand the reasons why we have moved back. Even though it was hard leaving everyone. Now we are back i feel like it is the right move. Something just feels right this time. Watching my children laughing and playing in the park makes me happy and smile knowing they are happy. It's such a lovely place for the children. Anyway i am babbling on but just wanted you to know if you are on this journey like us, it is so hard and not many but really worth it. Just stay positive and remember why you want to move here. Thanks everyone Jo Xx

All the best Jess, good luck and thinking of you all. We will be in the same position next week, as we fly out on the 18th. Very emotional week seeing lots of friends and family. You and your family will be fine. I look forward to meeting you when we are there. Take care Jo.xx

Hi all, I have been searching for holiday homes. We are flying over in the next couple of weeks, and won't get our shipment until January. So thought of staying in a holiday apartment. But due to the time of year, and availability. I have managed to find one on South Perth for $135 a night which will cost a fortune for being there so long. Does that sound about right? My husband will be working in the city and his base is Midvale even though I doubt he will be working there much, so we don't want to be too far out. i did check with Tracey at oz house rentals and they do not really have anything suitable. i just wanted to check that I wasn't getting ripped off, so to speak! thanks in advance Jo

I just have to with riverscapes through stayz. Really expensive but guess its the time of year!

Hi all, We are stopping over in Dubai for two nights before coming to Perth as we now have our visa. Yay!! But not got a clue where to stay for our family with two small children. Any suggestions would be most welcome. thanks Jo xx

Hi Amy, So sorry for late reply it has been a crazy few weeks. We Completed our house sale, and received our visa in the same week. We now live with our inlaws and fly out 18th November, having a stop over in Dubai, which I am searching for hotels but not got a clue where to stay. We are staying in a holiday apartment near the city which is costing a fortune but I guess it's the time of year. Would be great to meet sometime. Sorry my shipment has left regarding sundries ! I remember Leedaville not being very big. I guess it is totally different there regarding floristry, just knowing the different flowers you can get on the time of year and the availability! You'll get there though you have a great deal of knowledge and experience. You will be great Stay in touch. Take care.xx

Hi all, Well we are getting closer with our visa being granted. I have a daughter who is 6 and in year one in UK. I think we will be flying our first or second week of November. Going to get a holiday home and then look around suburbs to decide where to rent. i am not sure whether to start my daughter in school this year as I guess they break for holidays in December. I don't want to make her worry by starting a new school for a few weeks then break. But then on the other hand it may help her by getting a taster. I just wondered what your thoughts are whether it is worth it. Also, when do they break and then go back to school?? thanks all Jo x

Ours has been in for just over five weeks now, but I know they are working on it as they asked for health insurance documents. Good luck. X

Yes I always look, and wrote a couple of things but opened a can of worms so thought probably best just to read to. x

Hi, are any of you on Perth poms or positive poms in Perth on facebook? Just being nosy really!

Wow Amy congratulations and good luck with your new adventure sounds fab. I have been to the markets at Leedaville, as I did a very short course in floristry when I lived there a couple of years ago. Let us know how you get on. I am sure you will be brilliant. When I'm over i'll have to pop and see you. Are you opening a shop or working from home? If you ever need an extra pair of hands I am happy to help! Take care and all the best. Xx

I am really getting that at the moment Plimthing. Thanks will do xx

Hi, Is the travel insurance certificate form enough to show you are able to travel with children under 18? Thanks Jo

Oh my god, I hope not I'm not ready yet! Got far too much to do! thankyou. xx

Thankyou. How long did your visa take once you sent this over? They seem to have only asked for this at the moment. x

Hi all, I have heard from immigration they require evidence of health insurance for my whole family, and also evidence that any children under 18 can travel with me. It's is for a 457 visa. What did others do for this please? What's good enough for them? Thanks all Jo x
