Hi everyone.....

Not been on here before...usually use the sister site... (hi Ali and colbecks!) but as we are living in Perth now thought i'd better sign up to here as well.

Moved to Perth the beginning of march with my OH and 3 children and love every bit of it... so much so we are in the process of purchasing our own 'little bit of oz'..

Anyway... just a quick hi to all

Hi andrea .. nice to hear from you.... our move here went well.. we had a fast turn around as my oh had been head hunted and they wanted him asap...so much so they were trying to get us here on a 457 as our other visa was being delayed by foriegn police checks we had to get.

so when the visa arrived on the 9th jan we put the house on the market the next day and sold within 6 days... and moved here on the 1st/3rd march.... we used pickfords for the removal company and i can highly recommend them...we had a 40ft high top container full to the brim and only a couple of breakages and everything cleared customes except a halloween witches broom stick!!!lol ..

we were in rental up until a few weeks ago when we bought our own home in southern river .... and we love it... we had a pool put in yesterday which was very exciting!!!

our boys have settled well... my eldest had a hard time at school as he struggled with the laid back attitude here... unlike the more regimented uk system and so we ended up moving him to a private school which is more in line with the uk ways... my other 2 still go to the local state school and love it.

hope you move goes well!!

:cool: Hi Minlady,

Myself & my husband are in the very early stages of wanting to move out to Australia & are looking for brits who have moved out there & want their honest opinion on life in OZ !!

May I ask you a few questions to help us on our way through the process.

Whereabouts do you live in Perth?

Do you have any regrets about leaving England (I realise it's early days at the moment).

My husband is a Bricklayer by trade & I am a foster carer although I am going through the process of being a childminder at the moment & should be passed in January, do you know if there is much demand for the jobs I have mentioned?

Have you seen any "HUGE" creepy crawlies yet or is it something that has been overhyped about OZ?

Did you do a "RECCY" before you went living there just to see if it was for you?

I hope you don't mind me asking you these questions, & I hope you can give me some pointers on what to do & not to do.

We are going to an AUSTRALIAN EXPO in Leeds in October as we are very interested in living in OZ.

I'm glad your loving it over there too have you got any pictures of where you are living now on the internet as it sounds just fabulous !!

I would be sooo appreciative if you could help us with the questions I have mentioned & anything you think I might need or want to know ( Anything else would be great ).

 

Kindest Regards,

 

Alison. (A Living in OZ wannabee) !! ;)

Hi Min,

 

Hello & Welcome to Perth Poms :D

How's it all going?

 

We visited in July to validate and loved every minute of the trip (despite the 3 weeks of torrential rain!!!)

 

Loved the Hills and will probably go out in that direction once we arrive for good.

 

Came home from the reccie to a flooded kitchen so that has put a halt to selling the house until all the repairs are done, the insurane company are useless too and 8 weeks on we are still without at kitchen floor, etc :embarassed: Its just so frustrating as we just want to be over there now :(

 

Keep in touch.

 

Kind regards

Karen & Co
