Re: Anyone recently moved to Perth or planning to?
We are planning on moving back to Perth around that time but I still can't get my head around what we will do once everything is shipped. Was thinking of leaving only a week after shipping so we don't have to "camp" in our own house or eat out too much. I am finding organising it all is getting a bit much.
It's all a bit awkward until your stuff arrives - but you know it's only temporary.

Lots of new people to Woodvale! Perhaps when you all get here and are a little settled perhaps we could all get together for a mini-meet?
I really like Woodvale. The shops and parks are lovely. Lots of things within walking distance. Not too far from the train or freeway. Good schools.....I could go on!

Re: Anyone recently moved to Perth or planning to?
Feeling really excited now just reading this thread - we got our visa august 2008 and haven;t been on BE since as we couldn't go - house move, money traumas etc - finally going in 11 weeks time!
we went out last easter on a validation trip and stayed inQuinns Rocks - really liked it, but planning on a little further north in Butler. we're booked in our holiday rental from last time for a month with container arriving about a 5/6 weeks after we get there.
Can't wait!

Re: Anyone recently moved to Perth or planning to?
Hi,
Brand new to the forum.
I am currently in the process of securing a job and my family and I are planning to move to Perth as soon as possible.
It would be greatly appreciated if anyone can give me a heads up for what areas are good places to live in which are close to schools / shops / parks etc.
We are also planning to enrol our daughter into a dance classes as an out of school activity…any advice?
Thanks in advance.

Im a long time member here but haven't posted for ages. I moved to Perth in 2006 and came home to Glasgow late 2008. Now im going back out on the 21st Jan and can't wait to get some sun again
We lived in Somerly, Clarkson and it is great up there. Loads of open areas with beautiful water features and a train station within easy reach. The train gets you to the city in about 30 minutes. There is a nursery and plenty local shops.
Oh i forgot to say that there is a good pub there too and its also close to the beach and marina.
Gets the
from me.Good luck in your decision.

Re: Anyone recently moved to Perth or planning to?
Good to see we aren't going to be the only new ones to Perth in the coming months!!
We hope to make the move around March/April time this year (got our 175 visa granted last week) and we also have a 3 year old daughter. We're trying to find suitable areas to move to but need to find a holiday home for the first couple of months. Hoping that'll give us the opportunity to find the kind of suburb that suits ours and our daughters needs.

I was looking at Rockingham as well. I have a 15year old who doesn't want to come, a 10 year old girl and an 9 year old boy. I am being optomistic in thinking We will be moving in May. How long did your 175 take?

Re: Anyone recently moved to Perth or planning to?
We're moving on the 20th May. Staying in Tapping for 2 months in a holiday rental. That will hopefully give us enough time to sort out where to live permanently.
We have a 3 year old daughter who likes to tell random strangers that she is moving to Australia.
We are looking forward to moving but at the same time I am dreading it as there is so much to do before then! Argh!!
It would be good to keep in touch with our experiences etc as having a network when we all get there will help with settling in etc.
