sophies 8 coming on 18

Hillary's is lovely but expensive. It reminds me a bit of Howth harbour only with sun

Thanks Breeze, well appreciated.
I've had a look at the domain.com.au website and It is a bit costly.
when are you going ?

Hi,

We're heading for Perth sometime in February with 2 boys aged 5 and 11. Stayed with relations in Kinross in December for 3 weeks and loved it. Just at medicals stage. Still deciding what schools to send kids to but might wait until we arrive and have a look at a few.

Hopefully Carramar or Tapping all going well.

Hi All,
I have been here in Perth now for 7 months. We live in Tapping and really love it. We are both from Dublin and have three children 18,11,5. Your children will fit in well and so will you,if you forget about trying to make it the same as home. This is a different country and very few things are the same.
We do meet down in Hillarys at the Dome Cafe every Thurs at 12. So for anybody out there who wants to come along,just do so.


Pertahoy,I will send you a PM later.
Welcome to the site.



Breezeboylan,I will be in contact soon,my e-mail was down for a while.

Sorry I was dosconnected for a few days. Eircom!

Are there any rekkie reports on this forum? I've just seen a thing that Perth is now the second most costly house prices in Aussie after Sydney.. sounds like it's booming

The schools in Kinross, have a bloody good reputation!!!

There are lots of Rekkie reports on here just do a search. there was a very detailed on on Perth a while ago you should be able to find. Yea house prices are going through the roof, it's cause we're going over. Thats typical of my luck

Perth is not just booming. Front page news of The West Australian newspaper today was 'WA booming at faster rate than China'. The WA economy grew 14% last year. China had 11%. WA in fact, has the highest rate of growth not only in Australia, but the whole world. Incredible.

I have said this before but I will say it again. During the last great mining boom in the 60s, Perth house prices were 50% above Melbourne's. We are only 10% above them at the moment.

Perth is experiencing a once-in-a-lifetime Golden Era. When this boom ends (and some economic forecasters are talking 2030 here) Perth property will be the most expensive in the country.

Hi, we too are heading for the northern suburbs of Perth. We went on our recce 2 yrs ago and really liked woodvale, however it now seems to be out of our price range. There are still affordable housing if you look through the property websites, but it will probably mean getting in the car to go to the beach!! We sent our visa application in June and have sold the house. We were hoping to be out there for christmas but think thats probably a bit optomistic, so hoping (please DIMA) to go in January. We have 3 children, 9, 5 and 2 (boy, girl, boy) Can't wait to be stuck on the aeroplane with the little angels :scared:

I'm from Perth, I'm from Perth

Flying back there on Nov 20th!!!! Joondalup to be exact

*does a crazy dance*

Handed my notice in today and it was fantastic......

wow. time to get in there fast!

so drinks on you this weekend.. 10 weeks to go, just like us.. have you packed?
I'm doing car boot sale in Wimbledon tomorrow all by myself, 6 hours there whilst OH stays home with bub.

Have I packed?????? no, only found out the visa was approved on wed! We I handed my notice in yesterday and finish on Oct 28th which then gives me 3 weeks to get everything sorted. I am only shipping some boxes of Personal effects, so most of the furniture will be sold or given away.

gotta do a big 'to do' list this weekend!

You've panicked me now.... are you packed then????? :scared:
