Hi

I have been in Perth about six weeks now and have a nine month old girl, would be more than happy to meet up when you arrive, I live in Quinns Rocks which isn't far away. My partner is due to start work next week and I am going to be all on my own! Have met some other nice mums with babies and children of various ages. Everyone is really friendly and welcoming so you'll have no problems meeting people, I'm off to a mums night out tonight- I only know one of the other people going and this is hopefully going to be a regular thing and everyone's welcome.

Let me know when you arrive or if you need any help with anything before you get here.

Good Luck with the move!

thank you,that would be great,be nice to have someone to talk to,we have only four weeks to go before the move,getting abit nervous,my husband starts work straight away when we arrive,so that will be hard on me i think,how have you found the whole experience so far? have you started missing people back home yet?

Take a look at the King's Park November thread. Hitchcock has organised a day out in the city for everyone. Generally the KP meets are a great way to get to know people.

I am also moving to Currambine, I know a couple of people there. Helen (married to David ) used to be a regular poster on here. She teaches at Hocking Primary School.

There may be a few surprises for David when we get there as he might be interested in the tales from the past we have to tell ... Looking forward to the move!

Hi Mollymad,

I am living in Currambine, have been here 7 weeks now. I have a 6 year old boy and would love to meet with you when you come over. It would be nice for my 6 year old to have another lad to play with and be in the same situation as he is, would be nice for me too.

So far I love it, havent met too many people as yet but the location is great, weather is hotting up too, which helps a lot.

P.m. me if you want to meet or come round to meet us and I will give you my e-mail address.

Have you got a rental sorted out already then here in currambine?

My son goes to Currambine Primary school and loves it.

Hope to hear from you soon.

No worries, it can be challenging when you first get out here and don't know a lot of people. It's a bit crazy at first as you don't know where to go to get a phone, internet connection, cars, rentals, etc, etc. My partner didn't have a job sorted before we arrived so that made things harder. Now we are in our rental and have met some people it's great. The weather is beautiful and the whole experience has been much easier than expected. Don't tell my mum this but I don't miss people back home too much but then I guess I have always been pretty independent!! Seriously when you arrive if you need some help with anything then let me know. I don't work at the moment so I am more than happy to meet up and have a chat and help point you in the right direction.

Hi We arrived in Oz only 2 weeks ago. We have a fab temporary rental in Pearsall (near Joondalup) but are looking at the Currambine area. I think it's the catchment area for Ocean's Reef Senior. I also have a 6 year old (6 this month), so need to find her a school.

I'm glad you are loving it, my first impressions are very positive and I love Hillary's (shame I can't afford to live there). We sat on the beach and watched the sunset on Saturday night - fab.

Would love to meet up with you sometime. Good luck mollymad and have a safe journey, you're just in time for summer

Hi Caroline,

Im up for meeting sometime next week for a coffee and chat at Lakeside if you want.

Have you had look round Currambine Primary for your daughter to go to, my son absolutely loves it.

Our furniture arrived on Monday so the house looks more settled in now, Dont think much of the weather today but hey ho at least we know in a couple of weeks we will definately be having the sunshine

Hi Ya Yanchep ! !

How are you settling in ?? All good I hope !
We have been her nearly 9 weeks now and have settled in Butler, it's such a lovely place, anyway hope your enjoying life so far !

Hey Keely,

We are renting in Currambine for 6 maybe 12 months.

We have settled in good, furniture has arrived and it is looking more like home.

What made you choose Butler. Are you renting or buying. Wow isnt it exciting that we have been through the same journey and have eventually ended up her - for real oh my god sometimes I still dont believe it.

Weathers not much at mo is it but that will change.

Hopefully we can meet up and share that bottle of chilled wine we promised each other.

Have things gone smoothly for you, have you had the homesickness thing yet

Lets keep in touch. Great to hear from you.

kdiggers

Hi,

I don't know why we choose Butler, we didn't even venture up this far when we did our rekkie last year ! ! ! But from talking to people on other forums and photos we saw of Butler it just looked really nice ! ! We are renting for a year and then gonna decide what to do !
We have all settled in really well and quicker than I thought we would, and have made some lovely friends already ! ! To be honest we had been living at my parents since end of June to end Aug so I think we were all desperate for our own space again ! ! ! my daughter has really settled, she loves school, and my son starts kindy in feb ! !
Weather is really awful at the moment, as I type this I am sitting here with fluffy bed socks and a big thick jumper on ! ! ! Roll on tomorrow for the heat ! ! When it does heat up , we should meet up for that bottle of vino defo ! !
Anyway good to hear your loving it ! ! Take care, and speak soon.
Keely.

Yeah, I know what you mean, I can't wait to get my furniture to turn our rental from a rental to a home - all a bit sparce at the moment. Currambine may have fallen through but we have a 12month rental at Wanneroo if we want it.

What day do you fancy meeting up? I seem to end up at Lakeside everyday - anyone would think I like shopping

Cheers
Caroline

Hi,
We just arrived in Perth 2 weeks ago. My husband started work on Monday, so my 10 month old daughter and I are dying for some company as we don't know anyone here yet. We have looked at several rentals in Currambine and have put in an application for one, we are living in the city at the minute but will be moving to Currambine in 2 weeks. It's great to hear that there will be others in my situation willing to meet up in the Currambine area. Please p.m. me if any of you want to meet up soon. Will be going to the King's park meet next weekend.
