7cdb Posted October 27, 2014 Report Share Posted October 27, 2014 Morning Well,the good lady has let me book bus class for the 3 of us and we land at Perth Friday 14th of Nov. We are staying at the Sebel in Mandurah until the 30th. We would be living in Mandurah for a couple of years (489 visa) so we want to have a good look around and get a feel for the place. Also,can I work anywhere (I would eventually be a mobile engineer/mechanic) or because of 489 have to work regionally aswell? Lastly,anyone (especially plimting as I know he loves me) wants to meet up ('er indoors is charming and little man is a cracker) then let me know as I have loads of questions ....... cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plimthing Posted October 27, 2014 Report Share Posted October 27, 2014 i'll be waiting at the airport for you, with my mates from customs. I've told them to forget the latex gloves and lube. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plimthing Posted October 27, 2014 Report Share Posted October 27, 2014 ha! Have you been to mandurah before? We like it down there, different feel to it than Perth. Seriously though, i'm more than happy to meet up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously though, i'm more than happy to meet up! No,of all the places we visited last time,Mandurah was not one of them! Doh. We stayed in Hillary's and looked NOR mainly,had a look at Rockingham (not for us) so we are going to base in Mandurah and have a look around. Cheers for the offer,I'll message you when we are there. A bit of straight talking about Perth would be good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plimthing Posted October 27, 2014 Report Share Posted October 27, 2014 thats cool. I think it depends on where you plan to work is the defining factor. However i choose to live miles from the airport ( my work)because i always have done everywhere else in the world ive worked and i dont mind the 40 mis in a car each way. A nice irish bar in Mandurah! Bring some mozzie repelent, they love Mandurah! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're in Lakelands so will be in your neck of the woods so to speak, always happy for a meet up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonM Posted November 4, 2014 Report Share Posted November 4, 2014 7cdb why not just do your IELTS again and get the extra 10 points to do what you like? I can send you some stuff that I used if you want to. We fly on Saturday after my skills assessment also on saturday. Hope I can pass it, always worry about tests. Sold the business already so I am also now unemployed. We are staying calleroo I think that is how it is spelt. Tried to get Mandurah but couldn't find a rental. Maybe see you out there.
