Hi everyone,
Thought id update you as we have been in Perth for 5 weeks now and i must say its flown by.
We have made great progress bought a car got a rental eventually after viewing 15 properties in one week do not be fooled its not easy to get a rental here.
Our 5 year old son started school and absolutely loves it the school is amazing its a government school opened this year and we are impressed!
My husband started work also 2 half weeks ago FIFO thats been super tough its prob been the hardest part of moving here seeing my hubby off to work after 6 days of getting our new home, i cried for 2 days solid and all the way home from the airport i thought he was going to book a flight back at one point but he's home in 4 days so we have got through the first rotation. Its a 3/1 rotation. We are Frantically looking for local work although due to state sponsorship regional visa this is proving difficult and work seems quiet here for trades atm. we have been advised he's lucky to have a job so we are keeping positive about him being away and hopefully it won't be for much longer.
The place is lovely we have settled in Mandurah and are very happy with the place and surrounding areas plenty of beaches and places to go.
I have joined a gym with a creche which helps with hubby away i get to still do my fitness which keeps me happy and said also.
We have our first visitors arriving a week monday for a month so looking forward to having them here its my father in law and his wife
we will continue the job search but other than that everything has worked out just right for us!!!
good luck to all moving over you will need it its a very tough challenge and you will require your full strength to do it!! but once your set up you can enjoy which we are about too.
