One Perth forum, there's only one Perth forum (not!)
Melbourne and Adelaide have one forum each that is the focus of everyone's attention but there seems to be quite a few for Perth. I think this means that none of them really get enough traffic.
I don't want to tread on anyone's toes that run the various forums but I think those of us heading off to Perth would be better served if we chose one of then and stuck to it.
The information by all of the various sites is great and I wouldn't want to discourage anyone from using them.
What does everyone else think? Should we have a poll and choose one perhaps?

Can I vote for my own forum or is that cheating?

I think they all offer something slightly different, and time will pick a winner for us. I don't think it's for any of us to decide, although there is no harm posting our thoughts about them and descussing pros/cons of each to help the decision along. (Sorry, reading that back it sounds a bit offish. It wasn't meant to. It was meant to sound wise...ish)

Are you the wise woman who lives at 2 Dunghill Mansions, Putney?

If I've got two beans, and I add two beans what does that make?

Now I know why some people head for Perth, and others avoid it

You've made a good point Worzel, but to be honest it would be good to have a Perth only forum which isn't blatantly commercial - that's my only real gripe.

I've set up a forum www.expatsinwa.tk which is totally NOT commercial, purely like this forum for people to post their experiences, sound off, whatever!
