Re: ***Moving to Perth 2009?***
Hi folks
As there seem to be quite a few in the chat room and on the forum that are moving to Perth next year I thought I'd start a thread so we can all keep in contact with each other. Maybe start a list of when you are going and where you hope to live. That way we can all help each other out and maybe hold a get together in Oz each time one of us makes it over there. Any thoughts greatly appreciated.
We've just got back from the Leeds Expo where we met up with Clanfraser and his wife and also Scarletsfan and his wife. So good to put faces to the names now. Armed with loads of info now (and toys for the kids off the stands) well worth going.
Ok so we are Jo(39), Gaz(39), Ben(9) and Daniel(4) going to SOR, poss Secret Harbour or Lakelands.
Spk to you soon

If you are coming down this way you will love it & i'm sure NOR too Lakelands is a really big development, Secret Harbour hasn't too many plots left, the ones that are left are on the north-east corner which havn't got the landscaping touches that Satterley seem to be so good at!?
Anyway, hope it all works out for you, let me know if you need any more info

hi all
i go do my vettassess practical test on halloween, no idea really what this entails but we'll see on the day i suppose, that sounds quite relaxed and stress free, but let me tell you friends of perth and i quote " bbbbbbbblllllllllloooooooooooommmmmmmiiiinnnnngggg g hhhhheeeeeccccccckkkkk". To say the least i'm reasonably concerned about what lies in store for me. house is up for sale, very slow,don't really no when we'll get there but hopefully 09 not sure where we're going fancy rockingham or maybe ellenborough.

Re: ***Moving to Perth 2009?***
I have been offered a job in Clarkson, recommended to live in Kinross (for the school), So, all being well, Will be in Perth Mid December '08/Jan '09.
Just waiting for the visa (457) now, so it's all just a 'hurry up and wait!' situation at the moment.
Haven't sold the house here yet, but have a friend that's going to rent/house sit until it does sell. Just can't decide on what to do with everything else at the moment, tools etc and don't start me on the dogs - do we, don't we.
Peter (old enough), Claire (?), Nathan (14) and Bethany (12 - going on 22)

Re: ***Moving to Perth 2009?***
I don't think the houses are particularly cheap or the jobs very plentiful but the dry heat means it's better than Darwin or Brisbane, Sydney is a lot like London so we didn't want to go there, Melbourne is a similar climate to the UK which left us with Hobart or Adelaide.....
So we came to Perth
So we came to Perth
Firstly, there are places in between the cities; Australia is not defined purely by Sydney or Melbourne or Perth. Secondly - heat is heat - when it hits the 40s it doesn't matter how humid it is, you still fry. Thirdly Sydney is bugger all like London - unless you can commute from Finsbury Park to Bank on a ferry these days. Fourthly Melbourne's climate is not even remotely like the UK's - just about the only thing they have in common is that they're both quite changeable.
But ermm, good luck in Perth. So good they named it once.

Hmmm - that's a fair few peculiar comments you've made there.

This thread is for genuine people that are going out to the Perth area next year, to make friends and have a laugh together. NOT to try and validate to others why they are going there.

Re: ***Moving to Perth 2009?***
Many thanks for putting us on the list
Me and the hubby have got a 'Bush Retreat' sorted for the first 3 weeks and using this as a base, we are looking at anything from Secret Harbour upwards.
I know this sounds like a needle in a hay stack jobbie but because we haven't been before we are going off jobs and recommendations etc (Call me crazy, I won't mind!!)

Re: ***Moving to Perth 2009?***
We (2 adults & 2 kids aged 9 and 11) are moving out to Perth (region somewhere...) as soon as the house has sold. We are flying out on Xmas day to validate staying over new year.... hoping to have a good look at houses/suburbs during that time.......
