Is anyone heading to Perth within the next 10months? Have posted on meet up forum. Relationship over and going alone. Would love to chat/meet up with others heading over there.
Thanks :)

Re: Perth anyone?
 

Hey :) great. Do you know whereabouts your heading. Where you from?

Re: Perth anyone?
 

Hi Sunflower 7,

We are also heading for Perth, probably Somerley, Ridgewood area, and we are hoping to go by the end of the year (as soon as the visa comes, we applied Feb).

Would love to meet up for a chat:thumbsup:

Re: Perth anyone?
 

:) Thats great, how soon do you expect your visa. Do you both have jobs to go to? Do you know that area or people over there? you seem certain about the part you wish to go to.

Re: Perth anyone?
 

yes, hope so. keep us posted on how your getting on. Have you used agents for renting out your house?

Re: Perth anyone?
 

We were hoping to get visa Aug/Sept but I think it won't be until end of the year, immi are really behind at the moment:curse:
I have a friend in Somerley, she has been there just over 2 years. OH has a job to go to and that will be NOR, but we will look more when we get there, we haven't been before!!
We have sold our house subject to contract and we will move into a rental until we go - we just can't wait, I'll be hop, skip and jumping through the airport when I get there:rofl:

Re: Perth anyone?
 

Your pretty much sorted then once visa comes. Wish i was. Got to make the house decision (its already gone down £10,000) then its all go. :) Good luck with your visa..

Re: Perth anyone?
 

thats if the visa comes :eek::eek:

as you are probably aware, the process of visa's is slow at best :curse::curse:

but we all know they are working very hard to clear the back log etc etc

just have to be patient and wait

doc

Re: Perth anyone?
 

Glad to hear from another loner. :) I was in York only last week. Place called Crayke - Lovely. I did notice the thread, but soo long I could not tell in the time I had who was heading Perth way.
How are your plans going?

Re: Perth anyone?
 

my plan is to wait and wait and wait and then some more waiting

it seems to be going to plan thanks to DIAC :p :blink::blink:

just saving as much money as possiabl, so if it takes 12 months i should have enough put away

apart from that theres not much more i can do??

doc

Re: Perth anyone?
 

Yes, I've been waiting for a couple of years, extra money is always a bonus. Have you been before?

Re: Perth anyone?
 

please explain?

is that since submitting? :eek::eek:

yeah, was over there at the beginning of last year for a few months

missed perth out but have set my heart on living in that area

if its anything like the other places i visited it should be awesome

what about you?

doc

Re: Perth anyone?
 

Hi Sunflower7
I'm going to Perth on my own as well hope to be out there about sept just depends if i can sell my house .I'm going to Ashby to start with oh and i don't have a job to go to:eek:


good luck the dooners:thumbup:

Re: Perth anyone?
 

:) Gosh thats quick, September will soon come around. Are your flights booked? Good luck with your house, have you had it on the market long? Where are you from?

Re: Perth anyone?
 

:D No that 2 yrs didn't have anything to do with visa. I had that at the beginning of last year, and validated at the end of last year. I chose to wait at the time due to a relationship I was in. So now I have visa and extra money, I may as well plan to go.....
I enjoyed Perth the most, went back again to travel WA/Tasmania for a few weeks.

Re: Perth anyone?
 

Hi Sunflower
No flights booked yet :ohmy:
House has been on the market 2 weeks now only had 1 viewer and 1 time waster. Don't want to leave without selling my house I think renting it will cause to much hassle for me and who ever has to look after it for me.
I'm from haddington about 15miles east of edinburgh

regards the dooners

Re: Perth anyone?
 

I love Scotland, esp the highlands. Yes its the hassle of renting i'm concerned about. Got to get to grips with all the facts and figures to check best option. Hope you find a buyer soon, selling seems to be taking a while at the moment. Keep posting how you get on with it. :)

Re: Perth anyone?
 

Flights all booked for the 20th July for me, myself and I.... new jobs sticking me up in a hotel for a month then who knows, going to be working out in the mines on a fly-in-fly-out basis.... god knows what I'm getting myself in for!!!!

Re: Perth anyone?
 

I'm off to Perth on my own! I arrive there in August :D

Re: Perth anyone?
 

I'm coming over in Feb09 , only on a WhV though so will be moving up the west coast after a few months.

Be interesting to meet up with some people off here :)

Re: Perth anyone?
 

Hi guys

I've just applied for a visa to live in Perth, so fingers crossed. Will be moving out on my own. Very scary but loved it when I was there at the beginning of the year.

Re: Perth anyone?

Re: Perth anyone?
 

Hi amt383, WS, divaboy &JJ.

Nice to see a few more people going this year. Good luck with all your moves. I'm off to join the official loners thread.... See ya there:)

Re: Perth anyone?
 

Hello,

We're heading to Perth as well! No idea when, just as soon as the visa comes through. We had hoped to go in September, then had to push it back a couple of months due to the long waiting times, we would like to be leaving Coventry before the end of the year but who knows!?!?!?! Can you tell the waiting is getting to me slightly......driving me crazy in fact!

Neither of us have jobs, we sent CVs to agencies but they have told us that there isn't anything they can do without us having a date of when we will be out there....my boyfriend James spent time travelling around Australia a few years ago but didn't go to WA, and I have never been to Oz. Just going to take it a day at a time & see what happens!

We had hoped to sell our house before we went but only had 1 viewing in 5 months so looks like we will just continue to rent it out once we leave
:thumbsup:

Re: Perth anyone?
 

Hi Mand-Jim

Your only down the road from me! well the A45 that is. :) Be interested to know how you get on with your plans, also with selling your house. Bit worried about mine, and the time it may take to sell, thats if I don't rent it out. In the current climate I may not get much choice!

Re: Perth anyone?
 

When are you planning on going over? Have you already got your visa? Is this a permanent move? I am nosy! :sneaky:

Re: Perth anyone?
 

Hi Mand-Jim

Hoping to be there within next 8 months or so. Have already got visa, 136 skills visa. Just got to sort out house and job. Hoping it will be a permanent move, but trying to plan for all eventualities just in case I want to come back.

Re: Perth anyone?
 

We're planning for a permanent move but holding onto our house just in case. I've never been to Australia and James hasn't been to Perth so who knows how we will feel?! Got to give it a go though, been talking about it for so long so need to just give it a chance, life is too short to sit around thinking "what if...".

I would love to be able to book our flights for early December but we have no control over the time frame for the visa so just need to sit tight and wait, we could be getting there around the same time as you!

I've been looking on the recruitment websites but the agencies have told us that they can't really do anything to help until we have a firm idea of when we will be going.

This is all so frustrating!!!

Re: Perth anyone?
 

Hi Sunflower7,

I came out here on my own almost three years ago now. Never looked back. Hope you don't mind me being nosy, but what work do you do? I came out on a 136 visa originally, but did my citizenship on Australia day this year :-)

Very best of luck to you, hope you find everything you're hoping to.

Re: Perth anyone?
 

WE are hopefully end Nov. Got a job and a house to rent in Beldivis

Re: Perth anyone?
 

We have just booked our flights for a validation trip 14th Nov, renting a 4x2 house with pool in Kinross for 3 weeks. Hopefully our house will sell before then & we can just go the one way. :confused:

Re: Perth anyone?
 

Hi Jamiem
