Re: Perth what is it like?
Hi Northeners - Perth is not for everyone as you may have gathered from various posts on here, but all our NZ friends here report that living in Perth is an upgrade from life in NZ! Bit warmer anyway! I have never been so cannot comment. Aussies are absolutely fine with the poms - we have not had one adverse comment in 4 years. Standard of living is good although becoming expensive - housing in particular. However, mortgage rates are lower than NZ which compensates somewhat. I think that in your line of work you will be fine and well paid. My neighbour two doors down is a psychiatrist who tells me that Perth is crying out for qualified people. He works weekends just to get to through his load of patients. Can't comment about your wife's prospects but don't imagine opporuntities would be any less than other places.

Aussies and Poms get on fine. Aussies and Kiwis are a different matter...

I have found one disgruntled Aussie who had the following bumper sticker:-
A map of Australia with the words" ***** off we're full"
Obviously not one that agrees with the current immigration program

The weather is no different to NZ. Look here:-

Shocking weekend weather - I'm going to have to look for my coat again which I thought we wouldn't need for the next 6 months. At least the pool should get topped up a bit!!
