7 weeks, we are originally from Plymouth and Cornwall but lived in Bristol for 5 years before we came out here to Perth.
We are loving it, I landed a job in our first week and everything has fallen into place from there. Now we are living in Connolly and looking for a house to buy somewhere near here.

Re: how long you have been in australia?
3.5 yrs.....bloody hell that long 
I am still homesick but have a lovely life here.
From Belfast originally...married a lovely English Lad, from Berks, Reading, which was home for over 15 yrs.
Real thoughts - Not going to die here but will have some fun first enjoying ourselves.
Cheers

1 year and nearly two months. The missus has kicked the homesickness now. Looking forward to the warmer weather. Been employed since mid-June and desperately need a pay rise. Can't pluck up the courage to ask the boss yet though. Apart from that, still enjoying it here.
