staying in Duncraig for 6 weeks in furnished accomodation, kids start Duncraig Senior High on Monday. Decent rental property seems thin on the ground but we are looking hard.

First impressions are FANTASTIC, so glad we picked Perth. Hot but not humid, have not seen many flies yet., not a single mossie bite yet too.

Picking up our Nissan Xtrail on Thursday, from Mandurah Nissan, which I arranged before we came out.

I will register the company this week (we are on a 163 4 year temp residents visa, so we have a bit of work to do to stay), so if anyone wants or knows anybody who needs Internet services, web design, programming, hosting and e-commerce please let me know, we are on stevep at iocea dot com (just making sure spam get to me!)

Interested to here from anyone who is close to us or any up and coming meets or what people are doing for Australia day this week?

Cheers to all :)

Glad you had a good trip to Perth.Good to hear you think Perth is fantastic.
Cannot wait to visit we are coming out end of Feb fo a reckkie.
I see you are renting in Duncraig this is one area we have also been looking at .Any advice would be much appreciated.
We need to find our little boy who is 6 a good primary school which is one of our main priorities and a toddler group for our 2.5 year old.
Hope the mozzies stay away from you.
Good Luck with setting up your company all the best with your new life
Dreamaway.

I can't give much more advice as we are soooo new ourselves but if you are coming out in Feb then think Gulf Coast Florida (e.g. Naples) but much much nicer and without the Americans.
Thanks for the good wishes!
Steve
