yep daughter nearly 3 going on 33! lol , have you looked at seek.com.au and careerone.com ?

good luck with the viewing we had to rent our house out in the end.

will have a look at those now, cheers for that. veiwer loved house and put an offer in early this morning, only problem being it was £40k shy of asking price..will just have wait a bit longer i think.

hi sharon.

Welcome to the forum Hope your settling into WA ok.

We are just starting out with our visa application, so are very jealous you are already out there!

Have fun

struth cheeky beggers , hold on tight! aus is going no where , it will happen

hi there thankyou for the welcome, are you heading for perth too?

We are hoping to go to Perth yes. We have some friends in Madeley? and are arranging a recky for next year. Just hope I can find work out there as from the searching I've done so far, there doesnt seem to be much out there. I work as an Architectural Technologist (similar to an Architect). Hopefully things will have picked up by the time we are ready to go.

i just hope it happens sooner rather than later.what's the house prices like where you are?had a look at those sites and seen a couple of jobs that would do ok so it's not all bad

check out seek.com.au but look at all the sections the jobs are all over the place, never just in one section.

look at reiwa.com.au for houses and domain.com.au , local news paper,

thewest.com.au for classifieds, were renting at the mo as we rented our house in uk, but were paying $370.00 per week for 3 by 2 in the kalamunda hills.

Hi,
I'm also in Perth! We couldn't sell our house in the UK and came out with just under £10,000. This was enough to buy a small car, (Toyota Echo, very cute!) and pay a deposit on a rental with other expenses.
We survived on this money for 5 weeks until my hubby started work and then the time came for me to seriously start looking for a job!! It wasn't easy, I must have applied for over 60 positions, but I finally got a job offer and started 7 weeks ago working for a pest management co as a scheduler.
The money is ok and the atmosphere is unlike any place I've ever worked in. Our boss is extremely chilled out, as long as you do your job you get left alone, and Fridays we stop working at around 3.45 and open up bottles of wine! I still have a hangover from yesterday's session! All in all we're having the most amazing experience, I'd recommend it to anyone, as long as you come over with realistic expectations! We're living in a new suburb call Sinagra, which is north of the city, we rent a 3 bed 2 bath house which is a year old and perfect for us having no kids, for $340 a week. Now that both of us are working we have a very comfy lifestyle, and are even trying to save for a deposit to buy a plot of land and build a house, without using any of our equity from the UK, which would be fab!!
We just need to make more of an effort to go and see the sea, and the sunsets, which are amazing!!

hi sarnydee, lovely post, glad your enjoying perth, we are too, have to say your right about the job applications, its def word of mouth and being there at the right momrnt i feel, the beaches are wonderfull..

hi sarnydee, glad to hear somebody else likes perth,thanks for those sharona. i would love to rent my house out over here but i really need to bring as much money as pos incase i can't get work right away,and having the family with me would make it very hard to survive on £10 - £15k

ill def agree with the bring as much as you can.. its strange some things are way cheaper for us and some more expensive, we only rented because we had no choice really we were waiting to sell and the prices were dropping by the weeks and we had no time to validate the visa.. its strange one one way you want rid then in another way its a safety net for what if , it doesn't allways work for everyone over here does it? what is the market like at the mo over there?

THE EXPERTS SAY IT'S PICKING UP BUT VERY SLOWLY. SOMEBODY WILL BUY MY HOUSE AFTER I HAVE SPENT A FORTUNE ON HOLIDAY TO VALIDATE VISA. WHAT PART OF THE WORLD DID YOU GUYS MOVE FROM? WHAT SORT OF REACTION DID YOU GET FROM FAMILY AND FRIENDS WHEN YOU SAID YOU WHERE MOVING? HAD ANY LUCK ON THE WORK FRONT YET?

HI WANNABE, WE ARE FROM LEICESTERSHIRE , THOUGH MY OH IS FROM KILKENNY IN EIRE. BEEN IN UK SINCE HE WAS 6 IS MA WAS FROM TIPPERARY, DAD FROM CARLOW..
YES , HE HAS JUST BEEN OFFERED A JOB AT PERTH AIIRPORT SO FRI HE GOES IN TO SIGN , SO HOLDING OUR BREATHS UNTILL THAT HAS BEEN DONE LOL, OUR FAMILY'S WERE GREAT HIS SIDE WERE WELL WE DID IT FOR YOU, MY SIDE WERE SAD BUT WE THINK YOUR DOING THE RIGHT THING! BLESS THEM ALL.
iT REALLY IS A CASE OF DO IT AT LEAST YOU GAVE IT A SHOT , CAUSE YOU WILL NEVER KNOW OTHERWISE, HAVE TO SAY MY DAUGHTER HAS THRIVED , ITS A GREAT PLACE FOR LITTLE ONES, EVERYONE PAINTS THERE OWN EXPERIENCES DON'T THEY? OURS IS STRESSFULL BUT GREAT!!
