Hi to anyone who might remember me. I posted on these boards for a short time in January this year. I have now settled in Rockingham, Perth. I havent been able to post for a while as my PC was damaged by Pickfords, but luckily I am up and running now and will contact those PMs who have contacted me.
My husband has just had his meds and is about to lodge a permanent spouse visa here. He came over on a ETA (naughty i know). Perth is great, I have spent a lot of time here before and I am glad I have made the move.
The thing I find the funniest is that 80% of british expats here have nothing good to say about Oz. These people normally moan whilst relaxing in their 5 bed home overlooking their pool whilst watching a gorgeous sunset. I have started steering clear of these types as they were the reason I left Perth previously.
Anyway, hope all of you are fine and that things are working out for you wherever you are.
Most important of all - be happy. God doesnt give to the miserable.

Hi lally,
Just thought I would say hello as you live near my two sisters, one is in Connolly and the other in Merriwa. We are in the early stages of applying, waiting for skill assessment. Hows it going for you? Are you glad you made the move.? Any advice gratefully accepted
