Moving to WA in January
Hey guys its been a long haul but we are finally getting there! The house has just been officially bought we move out 2 weeks before crimbo 
but cant afford to moan about it... We are staying with OH's mum until mid January then we are heading over to Perth (Meadow Springs area) the dog is shipping out about the same time as we are which will give us enough time to look for a rental. The furniture will arrive the end of January hopefully all things going well.
Does anyone know of any good companies which you can get good reasonably priced holiday rentals for people who are migrating over?
Also looking for friends there is me(Lyndsay 32), OH(Keith 33 soon), Alicia (12) and Ben (9) and dog Mason (6). Any meet ups that are getting organised in the new year we would love to attend.

We're near Quinns & have only been here 10 weeks ourselves. Loving it so far although missing my kids, family & friends like mad but then I didn't expect much else.
It should be nice & warm by the time you get here

Hey!
Not much help with the holiday rentals, but by the age of your kids, I'd start looking at schools just now! The state school system around Mandurah is not at all good at high school level, so you may want to consider private education - there are a number in Mandurah, but all have waiting lists!
Just a thought!
