Hi All

We are off to Bunbury soon,we just got accepted this week on the 136 visa...thats me my wife and three kids.15,17 and 18 (little adults)

Has any one got some info on Bunbury, best parts to live etc

Is there much football for kids....opps i mean soccer.

Now we have the dilema of what to pack and what to leave. Does anyone have any advice on household items that are cheaper to buy before we leave?

Anyone with some info on paint spraying jobs please let me know.

HI - we (me and daughter aged 14 & son aged 12) land on 27th November and are heading Bunbury way. Think we will be settling at Eaton or Australind. Dont know much about the area to be honest will find out as we go along

Everyone on here has been fantastic - especially Denise I owe her a drink or two on arrival

Think you will find Denise (Cranni) really helpful
Good luck!

Hiya

My OH (Frank) and I (Angie) (No kids) have been in Bunbury for 4wks now , we took a drive about Bunbury to get a feel for the area and suburbs and are now renting in Eaton . It's really nice here and it has it's own shopping centre so you don't have to go into Bunbury town if you don't want to (it's about a 10min drive). Denise has been really helpful and is the one to ask if you want to know anything (she is a mind of info) . We have been told that places not to live in are Withers, Carey Park and some parts of Glen Iris. Good places are Dallyelup where Denise is, Australind and Eaton, South Bunbury is alright, we rented an apartment there when we first arrived.

We have found that most household items cost about the same here as in the UK, we didn't bring anything over with us so have had to start from scratch. I would say bring what you need to bring to save you money, then buy the rest when you get here. There are plenty of shops to choose from and if you are spending a lot of money you can usually get a discount. Most electrical items work here, you just have to change the plug (apart from the TV and Fridge obviously) .

Footie I know nothing about (sorry)!! When do you arrive in Bunbury???

I hope some of the info is of use, if I can help anymore let me know!!

Hi there! I have arranged for a fit aussie guy to pick me up at the airport and drive me down. I have booked 2 weeks at the RIverside caravan and cabin park in Eaton. Just need to find somewhere else by the end of that
Cant wait to meet you all. Have you got any boys around 12 years old? Mark is really worried about making friends on arrival gonna do the leisure centre and activities once we arrive but would be good to help him find some mates

Hi

I have two boys, Mike a 17 year old who has just finished year 12 at High school, and Brad a 12 year old who will be going to High school next year. Although they are not the very sporty type, they do however like making friends and love going to the Bunbury Speedway and anything else to do with car racing. We live not far from the Caravan site and often walk along the collie riverbank, or bike ride occasionally!

See you soon
