Off to Perth today!
 
Between receiving our visa's in December and leaving to go to Perth and validate them today..we found this forum!!!
It certainly has taken the shine off the experience from time to time but also I think has given us a much more balanced idea about emigrating! It will be great to go to Perth now and really look at it as others have!..though I'm sure we will love it no less than the other times we have been there.
Can't wait to open a bottle of Mad Fish and enjoy the sunshine!!

Hi Matt & Jo,

Doesn't time pass quickly. Hope you are ready and organised. If not then Panic!!!

We're sending off references and so on tomorrow, so we should be on the final stretch at last. I'm kicking myself because it's something I could have sent with the application and we'd have it granted by now. Anyway we're nearly there then it's decision time on a date for going.


Have a great trip and hope you settle in
Cheers

You sound a bit too normal but theres got to be few its the law of averages not everyone on this site sleep walks to Australia.
Make the most of your stay apart from housing look at jobs pay and talk to local people not only friends who are out to impress .
Hope its not too hot right now its around late 30s but it may cool down with luck though Feb is a pig of a month for heat , any way good luck.
