Living in Perth 2008/09 book
I can't remember if it was on this forum or another one that I found the link to this book.
Ordered it last week from the Australian Bookshop on line and it arrived yesterday, just wanted to say for anybody considering Perth it's definitely worth a read.
It covers the majority of topics that people seem to ask questions about on this and other forums, inc. where to live, buying a house or land, banking, schools, medicare, tax, job searching, buying a business, shopping, cost of living.
And the big thing I liked about it is the fact that it's honest, it doesn't make it out to be one big bed of roses.
So anyway for anybody thinking of moving to Perth I can recommend this book.

You very probably would if you could be bothered to spend several weeks sifiting through it all and then spend a further several weeks trying to seperate fact from fiction and subjective personal opinion, but then that's just mine (personal opinion that is).
Far easier to have all the factual information in one easy to read concise location.

Re: Living in Perth 2008/09 book
It's called:
Living in Perth Australia 2008/09
It's only available online from the Australian Online bookshop, I tried a couple of bookshops here but no one stocks it as their is no importer for the book here. Seems a bit strange as I assume it's aimed at the overseas market.
You have to pay for air mail postage which is more than the cost of the book
Amazulu is right in that you can find out pretty much everything that's in it on this and other forums but I just prefer to have it all condensed. It also helps with sorting out what's fact and what's fiction or subjective opinion.

Re: Living in Perth 2008/09 book
ah shame about postage costs, sounds an interesting book. I did see something in WH Smith a while ago about emigrating to OZ that looked like it might be good. Didn't get around to buying it though.
