Hi Everyone,

We TOO, are hoping to head to Perth, it's a small world LOL !!!

We are using an agent based in Suffolk, and she is really good, doesn't reply as quickly as I would like (right now, lol!!) but does inform us of changes, reassures us and always answers questions, no matter how bizarre !!

I have actually been loking at Rockingham and that area, it does look really nice.

Me and the hubby are 24 and 28, no kids, just 1 crazy dog and 2 lazy cats !!

So for us, we just need to look for a job for him, he is the main applicant on the 136 visa we applied on, oh, he is a fabricator / welder.

Donna & Pete.
