LisaJames Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 Hi Dave & Lauren, Where about in Perth are you moving to? My oh and I have been here in the city for a week after one year of counting down the days to our big move and it has been amazing so far! We, luckily, missed the horrendous cold snowy snap that seems to have taken the UK down - hope its not too bad for you in Manchester?! I'm Lisa, 25 and my partner is James, 27; we are both outdoorsy kind of people, nothing too extreme mind! Like you we know a few people here, but would love to get to know some more, so if you guys fancy a chat and a drink, feel free to get in touch when you arrive. Happy migration Lisa & James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LisaJames Posted March 31, 2013 Report Share Posted March 31, 2013 cool which side of the city you in we are looking to move around Scarborough way so not to far out. Although we are staying up in 'hills' for the first week. definitely up for a few drinks. are you renting? is it difficult to get a rental straight away? x We are in East Perth, not sure if you and your partner are crickety, but to give you an idea of where in the city we are, we are about a 2 min walk from the WACA. Coming from quiet a country-fied part of the UK, the city living appealed to us as a change from the norm, but I've heard nice things about the scarborough area and its not that far from the CBD at all really - lovely beaches there apparently, if your beachy people we're looking to venture up there to check it out for ourselves at some point if fancy a beer/wine or two once your settled? yes we are renting, we started viewing two days after we landed and secured an apartment a week later after viewing about six properties - moved in two days after our application was deemed successful by the owner. Are you guys renting? With the uk being a little more fast paced than here, I was a little frustrated with the laid back approach as we had no option but to live in a hotel which was to cheap by any means! That and the lack of information the realtors we came across gave to newbies to their renting game... But just over a week, in hindsight, was not bad going. I don't want to drivvel on if you know the general rental process here, but if your like us and didn't have a clue, give us a shout and I'll drop you a few pointers based on our experience.

LisaJames Posted March 31, 2013 Report Share Posted March 31, 2013 Cbd there's **** all there bar from offices and a few bars , all the burbs have a shoppn centre and a bar I agree it's not quite the hustle and bustle of other place in Aus I previously holidayed. But for people who do not have a vehicle to travel around straight away, it's pretty convenient what with the free buses around the city, work on your door step and relatively inexpensive public transport to surrounding suburbs. For us for now, it's the ideal place to start our migration adventure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
