Hiya,

It is windy but not all the time and when you need it most to cool down. If there wasn't a breeze here I think I would melt!LOL

A few tips, after residing in Perth for six years;

1. Don't sell your house to move here, rent here for at least a year.

2. If you don't own a fishing rod, by one. You won't be doing much else.

3. Bring the least amount of stuff with you. No point paying excess relocation fees.

4. Extract and preserve your brain before you travel.

I think that just about covers it. I'm relocating to Europe this year while I've still got some saleable skills left....been a bit of an adventure though!

nice to see your first contribution on here is a positive one....

Reality is harsh........just takes a while to see it. Absolutely no point in dressing it up any other way. People need an objective stance if they are to assess things. It's not about being negative. I've lived and worked in four other countries so experience is related to that background. Whether you concur or not there are a lot of people who have no prior experiences outside Blighty. One holiday does not count.

One 'positive', if you must, is that my patriotism has been bolstered since arriving here. If I hadn't had a son severly brain injured in (yet another) WA road traffic incident I'd have been on the move three years ago.

Next stop Italy.........Rail, civil/military aerospace & automotive employment opportunities....and not a fishing rod in sight.................

Toodle pip!

They do. But your post was not objective; it was as subjective as hell. Sure, Perth's not what you wanted and you're getting out. Good for you; hope it's the right decision. But don't pretend that your own opinions and impressions are some sort of "objective" analysis of Perth, better than anyone else's.

I wish you and your family well, but not sure where you were or what you were doing in all that time but just to advise any nervous newbies that we are happy here and theres not a fishing rod in sight at our house!

Both excellent advice for newbies in my opinion.

Your reality is not necessarily mine or someone elses'.

Like anywhere, Perth can be heaven or hell depending on where you live and your own taste. You'll have to check it out for yourself to really get a feel for it.
