Hi I’m in quinns, at home on my own. Been here since January (second time around). When we were here 4 years ago my daughter went quinns Beach primary. Like you my husband is fifo so if you want to meet up for coffee give me a shout[emoji846] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hey, sorry only just seen this! We returned as my husband will put his hands up and say he’d made a mistake not giving it enough time to settle, we were only here a year! Our daughter is doing ok, but we’re only 6 wks in so it’s early days! Sorry to hear your feeling homesick, how long have you been here? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Any newbies in the quinns Rocks/mindarie area?

Mostly definitely. At the moment I’m not working so I’m available most days

Without sounding desperate I’m wondering if there’s anyone who’d fancy meeting up for coffee. Myself 37 husband 38 and 15 year old daughter moved over 3 wks ago. This is our second time living in Perth. We were here 4 years ago , but due to husbands homesickness we went back to the uk. I had a good circle of friends, most of which I have seen since we’ve been back, but it feels different. Im in quinns Rocks

All being well my daughter will start at mindarie senior college in January. Does anyone know much about the school or have a child starting at the same time? we're still in the uk till mid January.

I'm aware of the changes to those on a 147 sponsored visa, but my husband just hard a rumour from a mate that there's talk of 4years changing to 8? Has anyone else heard of this?

We have doree bonnor coming round next week. We used them 4years ago and they were fine, 8 wks door to door.

Has anyone used petair? Just had a quote, now trying to decide between to the two packages they offer, gold and silver. There's over a £1000 between the two. Has anyone had any experience with them , is the gold package worth the extra?

My daughter is meant to be taking hers next year. We were going to wait until next July until we move! But after speaking to the school we'd like her to attend, we were told GCSES don't can't for much is anything and it would be more important that she arrived for the start of year 11 end of January!

Ok I'll reword that......any recommendations! This is will be our second attempt at emergrating. Last time we used Doreen bonner, no issues great service. This was 4 years ago!

Cheapest shipping company? 20ft container.

Took my husband 7 attempts....don't give up!

Need to be in Australia!

I have a question that I hope someone out there can shed some light on this for me? Our visas are valid till 29th may next year. We moved to Perth 2013 but due to homesickness we returned to the uk! Anyway we wish to return but our issue is that my daughter will be sitting her GCSEs and my son alevels may/June so obviously this will be after the expiry date! When we spoke to our agents she informed us that we could get 3 months grace. Unfortunately there have been issues with the agent we used. Thanks inadvance

So true. It's a very selfish age, they can't see beyond their own needs. And before you know it they've grown up and are off doing their thing. we bought him and his sister over 3 years ago, my husband struggled and we returned to the uk. He was happy in Perth at the time, but he's settled back here and doesn't want to leave.

We'll make him come out with us and try and get an extension on his visa and hopefully he'll hang around a little longer.

Has anyone had to leave a child behind in the uk? When I say child I'm talking 18! we are desperate to move back to Perth but our son who is 16 at the moment has no interest in returning. We need to be bk in Perth by the end of May 2018 before the visa expires,by which point he'll be 18. i hope in time he'll change his mind. But we don't want to give up the visa when at the end of the day your children grow up and do their own things in life! advice would be much appreciated

That's really tough, I feel for you! Today we've had tears and tantrums, which is good as it clears the air to a certain point. He claims he hated Perth and was miserable. He had his off days like everyone but he was settling. I get where he's coming from...we dragged him out there and dragged him back. Now we want to do it all over again!

Unfortunately he's not kept contact and is refusing to do so!! Good teenagers

He'll be 16 and a half when we return (looking at Sep next year). We didn't get citizenship as we were only there a year. The hard part about all this is the fact he was fair happy in Perth, had a few rough days but who doesn't. But now it's all about college mates and football! I'm asking for 18months of his life. I could leave him with family but I know I can't do that, I'll be miserable! I'm not sure we'd stay in Perth forever, but just to gain citizenship so we have choices in life! Thanks for taking the time to reply Ktee x

My heads a mess!! Regret ever returning to the uk, husbands homesickness was so bad we really didn't have a choice. Now he has decided he was hastily and should have given it longer. The problem is we will now have two teenagers in tow, one of which will give it another go the other is absolutely distort and can't even bere he thought! Now do we ask him to give up a 2 years of his life (when he's 18) or give up on our dreams? So hard!

Reasons....friends, football and really want to join sixth form (which I'm against as it's not great) hes not looking at uni and he's not particularly academic. Our visa expires 2018 and there's not chance of us ever getting it again!! So this is our last chance. We made a huge mistake returning to the UK so soon.

Help!!! Any tips on getting 16 year olds to move to Perth?? My case is slightly different....this will be second time lucky. First moved over in 2013 and returned after a year due to hubbies homesickness! At the time my son way happy and didn't want to return to the UK. We now won't to return next year once he's finished his exams, but he's not having any of it!!! Once he's 18 he can do as he pleases, but until then we need him to be on board.

Does anyone have any idea how much half a container would be? our first move to perth 2years ago,we paid £5000 for 20ft.
