hi this is probably a bit late but Booragoon is great for dogs. There is a big group that meets around the aquatic centre. You also have wireless hill and the applecross foreshore isn't far. Piney lakes is great too :-)

the evenings are already chilly so a a light jacket maybe good!

Might be good to put your location, Jo?

Haha good idea!! We are in Booragoon SOR :smile:

I thought I'd be brave so I went to a korean salon where they spoke a little english and had the best cut that I have had in a long time and it only cost $38. It was in the CBD though..

Thank you :-) maybe I shall investigate further!

Mary my hand is still stiff and sore but am having brilliant hand therapy by a sadist! You should get someone to check your foot, you'd probably only need a couple of sessions. If we were nearer we'd do it for you! xx

Hi guys

I am a uk trained physio who also does sports/remedial massage which is not just for sporty people..it is a deep massage that can be equally effective in preventing problems, treating problems and just plain old relaxation. I'm thinking about setting up a mobile service and wondered if anyone had any opinions on whether this would be a service people would be interested in or not? I'm not seeking clients, just wondering if this is something worth pursuing...

any advice greatly received, thanks!!

JO:biggrin:

i haven't seen any flies..only one red back Spider!

Hi Tony & Co

My partner and I have been here for nearly a month. Initially we were trying to understand what the 'hype' was about Perth but over the days we have definitely started to enjoy it more, even more now that we have secured a rental. We are 34 & 45, if you fancy meeting up sometime we'd be more than happy. We have no children but quite happy to meet people that do!

Jo & Ellis

i've driven through duncraig and thought it looked really nice! not very helpful sorry!

hiya

what prices are you selling all these items at?

hey fab jo

what area?

good luck

Hi Mary

we are going to be in Booragoon. Not quite where we had imagined but it's near the river, has a lake and good for CBD and beach. We drove down to Warnbro a couple of weeks back to view a car..we would have loved to have been between there and Rockingham but have a small social connection up here. Once we are in, fancy a coffee down your end? Hope your foot is ok.

Congratulations! Where is it and how easy/difficult was it? We are arriving in about 5 weeks, we have a short term rental for a month and looking for a long term one is something I am not looking forward to after reading different threads on here.

Hi Jak

For us the experience was fine. We found this one on gumtree. We viewed 3 off gumtree and got offered all 3. I think it really helps if you meet the landlord. We saw a couple of horrors through agencies, ones which would be condemned in the UK! The ones we viewed in Freo had about 10 - 15 couples attending, we weren't ready to move out of our short term so didn't put offers in. The other thing to note is that with the agencies, if you apply you may have to pay a fee. If you are not successful the fee is fully refunded. If you are successful they keep it. It means that you can't really apply for more than one property at a time, as if you change your mind once successful, you will still lose your money. I think the main thing is not to stress to much about it. Depending on the areas you are looking at,there are quite a few properties going. When you get here start looking at gumtree, ask your short term people to write you a reference and if you can, get a reference from work and a character reference.

Good luck, shout if you have any questions!

Jo

Just to say we have just secured our rental. Very excited and we move in in 2 weeks!! They will even allow us to get a dog woooo hoooo!!

My wife goes horse riding, but we are SOR. Lots of riding schools down this way

Where does she go Jamesw...we are SOR and keen to ride!

Hiya

apparently rossmoyne school has a very good reputation. That is SOR and surrounding areas are family friendly such as Riverton. Have a look on real estate.com. There is a primary school in Ardross that my friends child goes to which she says is good. Fremantle seems vibrant. We were looking at renting there but it is Sooooo expensive and there is a lot of competition at viewings. I think there are much nicer areas to bring up children as there are loads of parks in other suburbs.

Jo

we went with bayswater care hire also known as something like 'no birds'. they have various locations. We had a great car for two weeks and quite reasonably priced too.

JO

i REALLY need my eyebrows waxed!!!!!

I'll ask around. Looking to work with some hairdressers myself. My friend is great but shes NOR and too far from you. x

Linda, where abouts NOR? I need a haircut too!

ohhh she is lovely!!!! when you come over can we meet her pls?!

Hi Lisa

We have been staying in a granny flat in lynwood for 3 weeks.We have 3 weeks left. The accommodation is good and reasonably priced. It has a private entrance and outside space. We are paying $50 a night. It is $60 a night for shorter stays. The owners are lovely and helpful. There is a bus stop on the road which takes you to train station so you could get to CBD quickly (10-15mins). LEt me know if you would like their email.

Jo

just googled the breed too..that's not a dog, it's a lion!! How beautiful and enormous!! can you put a pic of him on your profile??

Hi Ethan

I like you, would love to own a pitbull..they are a great breed. I am looking to do volunteer work here in Perth. I have found several animal rescues, the RSPCA in Malaga, a dog rescue in Shenton and another in Gosnells. There are other breed specifi rescue organisations here too...def not pitbulls tho unfortunately. I was at the dog beach in Fremantle the other day and saw loads of dogs having fun. We are hoping to do foster care once we are settled.

Good Luck!

Hi Jo

I have just joined the site and seen your post. I'm considering, but not sure yet, moving from Melbourne to Perth in November. If the owner of the granny flat is open to your sharing their details, I'd be interested in them please.

What area have you got your long term rental in? Good luck with settling in.

Hi BronC

This is the email for the granny flat: poster.1001688306.EJ6G4@users.gumtree.com.au We haven't decided on long term rental areas. Going to wait till we are there. The owner of the granny flat is called Duhee and has been great to deal with so far!!

Jo

thank you :-) phew!!
