Re: perth bound
Hi Michelle
We're a family of 4 (Sally, Marcus, Louis (16) and Annie (5), also heading to Perth. If the house sale goes according to plan we'll be heading out at the beginning of September. Our visas were granted a couple of weeks ago. It only seems like yesterday that we were sending off for skills to be assessed, I'm sure before you know it you'll have your visas too.
Where abouts in Perth of you planning to live? We have family (cousins & aunt) in Carramar and Butler. We'll initially be living in or around Carramar. I would like my daughter to go to the same school as my cousin's daughter (Currambine Primary).
Anyway, hope you hear about your skills assessment soon.

Re: perth bound
Where abouts in Perth are you heading for.
We are currently in Kinross, the suburb next to Currambine, but are looking at a new build up at Clarkson.
We also have a fully furnished house that we rent out up by Quinns Rock.
All the very best

Re: perth bound
Good luck to the rest of you.
We have had an easier time of it, as we are dual citizens, returning to Perth in June after 10 - 12 years in the UK. Staying with family in Beckenham (south of the river).

I'm also a Chef and we are all heading to Perth this Sep. My Family unit is Hubbie,two Daughters 16 & 10 , one Son of 4. We are looking to live in the Northern suburbs and have no family out there. Actually, we have never been to Aus before, so we are taking the big plunge.Know what you mean about getting all that paperwork ready (been there,worn the teashirt and came out the other side). Now we are just waiting on the Visa, any day now I hope.Yes and we would love to hook up for that barbie, see you over there.
Good Luck with the rest of the application ,its easy.
