Guest Mani Posted September 22, 2011 Report Share Posted September 22, 2011 Hello, I'm new to this forum but found it on Poms in Oz so thought i'd pop across to say hi. "Hi"! We received THE email with the good news 3 weeks ago and are still in shock a bit. We have to go over to Oz before 14th June next year but have no idea about the suburbs over there, where we should stay when we get there etc etc etc... Its all so exciting but daunting too. There's me Nish, my hubby Steve, our little boys Aaron (6) and Aiden (3). We're thinking of going during the Easter holidays for 2 weeks next year. Can anybody advise us on what areas we should consider staying in bearing in mind the kids and hopefully not too far from Perth. Whilst we're out there we'd like to do a bit of exploring around into the different areas and especially focus in on areas with the best schools, so your opinions and thoughts are more than welcome. We met whilst backpacking 12 years ago in Adelaide and travelled together for a couple of months. We spent some time in Perth but it was different then as we were on the travelling buzz then. Its all very different now (married, mortgage, kids and everthing else that comes with a family )! so feeling a tad bit more nervous about the whole thing. I'll stop rambling now and go. But it would be lovely to hear from people already out there or in the process of going. It would also be really nice to meet people here in the UK (we're in Essex by the way) and catch up with anyone who is already out there when we come over next year. Chat soon Nish x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest n00dlz Posted September 22, 2011 Report Share Posted September 22, 2011 nearly there! had one of medical tests redone last friday (all ok ) and I'm waiting for my agent to phone with the news (along with checking my emails every hour ). I'm going out in Feb for my reckie but haven't got a clue where to go, stay, who to visit. I wanna see it all! I was thinking of driving around and meeting up with some estate agents to get an idea of areas and what I might be able to afford when I get out there, it's as you say, really daunting and exciting. One minute I'm feeling like a kid in a candy store and can't make my mind up, the next it's like there's so much I can't see the wood for the trees. when are you hoping to make the move?
