Cavoodles Posted October 3, 2011 Report Share Posted October 3, 2011 Well we have arrived!! Some what in a blur. Things got extra busy before we left Adelaide, people to see things to pack. We didnt sell our home so we had tenants moving in the day we flew so ended up pulling an all nighter prior to the flight to get everything in order. The morning of the flight we left our friends house at 4am 2 kids 2 dogs and 7 pieces of luggage and hand luggage galore. Memorys of leaving Blighty flooded back. When we arrived we had pre booked a rental car and there were no cars. So we had a taxi take us to collectec the dogs and drop me at the Car Couriers and then because the luggage wouldnt fit in the car it then took hubby and daughter and dogs to the short term rental. ( which was booked 2 days prior) We were all shattered to say the least but we arrived and the weather was beautiful. So far hubby has got a job and we even enrolled the kids into school Friday. We did a drive by of our long term rental which we havent actually seen yet only from the outside (this was confirmed on the Friday prior to arrival) I am looking for work but will hopefully find something after the school holidays. So we are day number 5. Tommorow our container arrives and Wednesday we get the keys to our rental. Exciting !!! Hopefully we will be sorted by Xmas for our 1st Perth Vistors. Maybe catch up with a few peeps if there are any coffee/ park meet ups Im in Tapping Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carolyn Posted October 7, 2011 Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 Hi There, conratulations on your move from Adelaide to Perth, I am sure you won't regret it. We have done exactly the same thing, we moved from Adelaide to Duncraig, WA in April this year and definately no regrets, we love Perth and surrounding area. We too have a house in Adelaide that we are renting out. Myself, my husband Neil and son Thomas (13) have been in Australia for 2 years. How long have you been here and what made you move to WA. Anyway, good luck and hope you settle in quickly. Carolyn x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We always said we would give Adelaide 2 years and honestly didnt expect to move. We moved mainly due to work trades have been drying up work wise for hubby as he is a plumber. Luckily he visited a few employers on a Reccie in August and has pick up work with 1 of them and the money thank god is better!! We have been here almost 2 weeks and Im now looking for work. We are at the difficult stage again where we are stuck with kids etc friends and getting them out and about. I cant wait to get them back to school. Thanks to all the have wished us well xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
