Just moved into the area,does anyone know of a doctors practice that bulk bills their patients? Thanks.

Hi,I'm looking for a hairdresser who works from home to get my hair cut and coloured. I live in Thornlie,does anyone know of a local hairdresser? Thanks.

Snap...been here a year too and hardly anything in Rockingham.We are trying to move nearer to the city in the next month so I'm hoping that will give me better opportunities.I work in admin and when I first arrived I was told by a lady at Bridging the Gap that there were no admin jobs here (Rocko) or agencies that could help me.If you try on Seek there are sometimes vacancies around the naval base and Kwinana.

Do you have to pay for parking at the train station?

Thanks for the recommendations. Do you have to book a table at Jamies as we thought you had to queue up.

Benn here a year,live in Baldivis.We go to Mandurah often with the dog. Working in Africa..wow that's a trek!

I'm in the same boat..applied for loads of admin jobs and nothing back except a sorry. I had my CV professionally done before I left the UK and I'm thinking to maybe get it done again here.There's a lady on Gumtree who offers CV writing for about $50. When I first arrived I volunteered at the Salvos shop to get me out of the house and some experience. Let me know how you get on.

Going there in 3 weeks time...any others? How you getting on.....I remember you from the forum when we were in the UK )

Can anyone recommend a nice Italian restaurant in Perth that's not too far from the train station as we will be walking?

Where are you based? We are looking for a rental on 28th June without a pool.

We are looking for a rental from the end of June this year. There's me and my partner and a small dog (Westie). Looking for Rockingham/Baldivis areas,don't mind if it's a smaller property as this one we're in is too big. We are tidy people and can get a reference from the current agents to say we are clean & tidy and pay the bills on time. Thanks.

We had to leave our Westie at Sydney as Byford was full.It really upset us ,missing him for a month.We arranged for a dog walker to visit him 4 times a week and they posted photos on their website so we could see him.It didn't cost much and was such a relief knowing he wasn't just stuck in jail (as my hubby called it). If you are interested in their details I will dig them out for you.He was a bit out of it on the flight from Sydney to Perth!

Is it possible to have dual citizenship for the UK and Australia? Someone told me last year that the UK said you had to choose one or the other,is this true?

False nails are big over here,there are salons on every corner and they always seem to be busy.

We used Oz house rentals when we first came over.Tracey is good at getting back pronto so she may be able to sort something out. Try putting an ad on Gumtree as well as you sometimes find rentals there. Good luck.

How much is the lease on the house and when are they leaving for the UK? Thanks.
