Welcome to bazzle and dor34. I have adjusted any details on the list as requested.

Hopefully if enough people are interested we can try and arrange a meet up for the end of February/beginning of March? There should be loads of new people arriving here before then. Let me know what you all think.

HERE IS THE LIST:
Hi Mark and I would be up for a meet up, been here for 8 weeks now and are loving it.

Hi Sarah and Dave

Could you please update us we fly out out on 13th Feb from Heathrow with singapore airlines and arrive in Perth on the 14th ............Is there any one else flying out then ?
We then head down to Bunbury 3 days later.
Having just sold the house last Friday .........its all systems go now, it feels like we are on a rocket ship no stopping us now!
ive got to book a Hotel in Perth for 3days, Book a hire car for 3 weeks and a holiday let near Bunbury, that should give us enough time to find a house to rent and time to buy a car.
We dont know a sole in Australia and have never been befor, So if any one has any recommendations please let me know.

Dave & Wendy

Hi Madchef

We've been here a week now and it's going well. This is my first opportunity to get on the internet.
Would love to meet up.

Hi all,

well not posted on here in ages. sorry

But we are in Coogee at the moment and are looking at houses over the next few days in Baldivis and Secret Harbour. Not really been to any off them before, can anyone offer any advise please, we are a family of three with a 3 yr old son.

Also When you apply for a house i know there will be a few applicants, but roughly, how long does it take for them to make a decision and for you to get the keys (if you are lucky) cant stay where i am for much longer, really hating it and need to move yesterday!

Thanks all,

Becky and clan

We are having to go where the houses are in our price range, so thats why we are looking down there because thats where the houses are at the moment, there are none that i like in Shoalwater, safety bay, rockingham, so its Secret or Baldivis, Baldivis seems nice, But to be honest a place i can call my home would be nice...............

Our first rental was in Baldivis. Lovely house but very, very isolated. If you settle there prepare to be lonely.
