Hi, thank you all for replying! Sorry for not acknowledging the replies earlier - my parents were visiting to say their good byes :-( I'm so glad to hear about your son Deb - it's one of my fears that I can't help my son settle in, as you say they are at the age where we can't arrange playdates! But like your son, he plays rugby and other sports so hopefully that will help him make friends and settle! Thanks for the reassurance everyone :-)

Hi, we we have our visa and are planning to move to Perth in the next few months. I am moving out in mid-August and then my husband and soon will be moving out at the end of September/beginning of October. I'm moving out first to find a place to rent and get a school sorted for my son. As the time gets closer I am getting more and more stressed about moving my son. We've been talking about doing this so long and I know he wasn't that keen at the beginning, and was probably hoping it wouldn't happen!, but now that it is I know he is concerned about the move. i was hoping there would be someone here who moved with a slightly reluctant teen and could set my mind at ease, or at least let me know their experience? Did your child settle in, was it difficult, was there anything you did that you would change if you could go back? Thanks in advance to anyone that can help Sara ?

Thanks - turns out our friends who live there will be very offended if I don't stay with them....so it looks like I'm staying there!

Hi, we've been granted our Visa and our plan is that I will move out before my OH and find a house and a school for our son. We're looking at heading out in August for a week to activate the visa and then my OH will return home to work out his leave. I'm looking for somewhere to live for two months on my own whilst I look for a house for us. I'm really struggling to find somewhere cheap and functional to live. I'm not particular about where I live, I just need somewhere functional. I was hoping someone would have experienced this or would be able to give me a steer in what I should be looking at. Thanks in advance for your help Sara
