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!!

goodluck and enjoy

oh and don't forget to report back!

cheers

Hi,

Good luck, we are off to Perth in 10 days for good.

Have a fab time and hopefully we can all meet when we all eventually get there.

Take care.

Love Jo, Matt and Jemma x

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
Mash...

Best of luck with your move.
We want to know if you love it or hate it out there.
Please report back to us sad individuals who use this site for a quick 'fix'- any info will keep us all going....


congrats

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.

I did hear right he did say GOODLUCK ?

Yes and why not its the Lucky Country , in most cases lucky you are not here.

No, you mean ....we will be lucky when your not here!!!

Now be fair I must brighten up your dull day in Perth or why else reply , most of our friends are trying to talk us out of going back the question begs why , as my wife says done Perth 9 times over time to start living again.
