Oz has problems just like the UK
Hi, we lived in Perth for 6 months in 2008..... then we'd had enough and came back!
Same s__t different toilet! comes to mind...
Ok there's a beach and sunshine but apart from that it's the same as anywhere.
No fairytale if you ask me (which i'm sure you won't, as most of you will be in we're going and that's that mode!!! just like us!!!)
My advise is to definately go on a recky first.
Is it really worth giving up on friends and family for a distant desert?
And to all those who are leaving the uk because of the immigration problems here........remember over there you'll be a pom! That's what i got on my first day at work: " That's whats gonna **** this country up!" NICE WELCOME

Good points of perth are the zoo and kings park.... and yes the beaches are lovely!
It's just society that's similar in many ways.

Why create this thread now if all this happened nearly 2 years ago?
