Re: Anyone moving to Perth?
 

HI ALL
This my first post on this site what a good site, we have owned a house in Warnbro two streets back from the beach for three years although we have never lived in it, we hope to get to perth this year permanently.
I lived in Brisbane and Tasi for seven years then meet my wife back in the uk and now have two great kids. we both feel it is now time to move on for our kids sake i have no doubt we will find it hard to settle in oz but as the saying goes (lifes what you make it)
my kids just cant wait to go now we are talking about it

Nothing at all - happen to be one meself ;)

SH is lovely, but I wouldn't fancy that commute everyday. Hubby was in hospital in Freo a while back and that journey was a nightmare! Subi's about twice as far!

Couldn't you look into the possibility of nearer hospitals, or are you being sponsored?

Welcome aboard! Good luck with your journey. Do you already have your visas sorted?

Re: Anyone moving to Perth?
 

we are moving to Perth, initially we looked at Secret Harbour it is beautiful, however the commute to the CBD has put us off as hubby would spend most of his time commuting to work, we are now looking up North around Butler and Mindarie - any comments on these places would be greatfully received:)

thats some house mate..

well done..

Re: Anyone moving to Perth?
 

I wouldn't of thought that the commute from Butler is much better than from SH. The Freeway's a nightmare at peak times too :thumbdown: so it may well be closer in terms of distance, but travel time would be just as bad as travelling to and from SH I would think (if not worse!). At least travelling from the south you are going against the traffic a little more.

Butler is very similar to Secret Harbour in terms of 'up and coming-ness'.

Hi Jules

I am being sponsored, yes!! Its at the KEMH so a nice big hospital to get lots of experience (I hope!)

I've been waiting for what has felt like forever since my job offer and have just got the long awaited email but the offer is for a 457 visa which some on here dont think is advisable - so feeling a bit crap now :unsure:

Re: Anyone moving to Perth?
 

I know what you mean as our visa is a temp one too. It'll all work out though, hopefully :unsure:

Re: Anyone moving to Perth?
 

we stayed up on quinns when we did our reckie last week
we are looking at rockingham/s-bay area when we come back out
we found the drive either way ie down from quinns to perth or up from rockingham the same amount of time.

ps what did i miss about s- harbour ???

Re: Anyone moving to Perth?
 

What do you mean - what did you miss?

Re: Anyone moving to Perth?
 

sorry we went down to sh it seemed to us like a big housing estate but maybe iam wrong


dont mean to offend anyone:o

Re: Anyone moving to Perth?
 

No, you're right, it is :D

We're been here too long now and we've lost the 'WOW' factor. Houses that we first thought were great, we now just think are OK.

It's OK, but I do think there are nicer places around. Budget dictates really.

I take it the 'sh it' was purely coincidental in your post? :rofl:

Re: Anyone moving to Perth?
 

I live in the area. May I ask why you chose Rockingham/Safety Bay?

Re: Anyone moving to Perth?
 

oops yes sh it was an oversite on my part:lol:

because rockingham has older houses and larger plots etc which is what we are after we dont really want a new build
