Peth......boy thats a pretty bad lisp you've got.. :D

Re: Wish I could spell!! Obviously I meant Perth!!
 

Impatient I see... :p

I'm heading for Perth...visas should be here before Jan... :)

Re: Wish I could spell!! Obviously I meant Perth!!
 

Do you know where you are headed yet - have you done the validation thing, or are you just going once you get your Visas?

Re: Peth bound??
 

Hi Pam! We are hoping to be in Perth Aug 07 (have to get the visa`s first though!) :)

Re: Wish I could spell!! Obviously I meant Perth!!
 

Are you talking to me?...If so...

Once we have our visas...then we've our house to sell...then ta ta friends and family...(why do friends come before family)... :confused: ... :D

Re: Peth bound??
 

How far down the Visa route are you?

Notice you live in Hampshire - me too!
Have you done a reccy to Perth yet, or you plan to do this before you go?

Re: Peth bound??
 

We are heading for Perth next year, possibly mid 2006 depending on wether the house sells, and we get the visa of course :)

Re: Peth bound??
 

We`ve passed TRA but due to hubby`s current work situation we can`t apply for the visa until the end of next year. We won`t be doing a reccie trip before we go (trying to save every penny for the move), hubby has been to Perth before(2 years ago), however me & daughter have never been before. :D

Re: Peth bound??
 

We are hoping to do a reccie over to Perth early next year to validate visas and then we can come home and sell up in our own time.

Thats the plan anyway! :D

Re: Peth bound??
 

Thought I'd reply to you as you are a Chocoholic too!!! :p

Seriously, we are hoping to get to Perth by the end of next year too. Did a reccie in March/April this year and loved the place - 1st time we'd been to Perth.

Re: Peth bound??
 

We hope to go to Perth in July 07. We have the visa and are off on a validation trip on Boxing Day. Yippeeeeee!

Wow - so they'll be quite a few rookie Poms in 07 then!! ;)

Anybody already know people out there?

Re: Peth bound??
 

We've got friends there but even if we didn't we'd still go. We were going to Adelaide initially on SIR but now got enough points for PR (MODL thingy) so Perth it is.

Re: Peth bound??
 

Perth is really beginning to hot up now, after a long and wet winter.
Take a look at my website, lots of links for interesting places and things to do in Perth.

Re: Peth bound??
 

No, don't know anybody in Perth.

Hopefully Dec,06 ..maybe

Re: Peth bound??
 

We will be in Perth in June 06 - headed for Fremantle. Can't wait. :p

Re: Peth bound??
 

PS I have a few friends out there, from living there for a year in 2001.

Re: Peth bound??
 

HI Pam
we are hoping to go to Perth in 2006, I have lived there before and have citizenship, but my hubby is actually in Perth now validating his visa. We are still waiting for the house to sell, then its off to sunny Perth--forever!!! :) :)

Good luck with everything.

Re: Peth bound??
 

Hubby has Auntie, Uncle & cousins in Perth and I have an Auntie & a cousin there too!

Re: Peth bound??
 

Aren't you nervous? I am! :o
There seems to be alot of people who do know people out there already, I'm a bit worried about settling in, but I suppose it's all part of the adventure!

Do you have children?

Re: Peth bound??
 

No, we don't have children.

I am nervous about finding jobs! Other than that I am not worried. But the job thing is quite a big worry. But then I tell myself not to be silly - we'll find something ...

Re: Peth bound??
 

We're off to Perth mid-Jan 2006. The children to start school at the start of Feb.

Please don't tell me how close that is - really looking forward to it but so much to organise still ! The adventure begins.

We have been out there for holidays for the last three years and have some friends there which is a help but you will find there are a lot of Brit expats out there.

Re: Peth bound??
 

Dh has a couple of business colleagues here that he knew previously, but otherwise we knew no-one here. But the Aussies are so very friendly that finding new friends is a total breeze. We're having trouble finding time to take up all the invites!! It is a wonderful surprise - we didn't expect to settle in so quickly. We have one daughter, 8, and the school gate is a marvellous place to get chatting, and if you get involved in school activities it helps too.

Good luck - I'm sure you'll settle down in no time. :)

Hi Suzy

Doing a recci in Feb 2006 as never been to perth before only to East Coast previously.

Hi, we have had visa for a week! Have to validate by 5th September 2006.
We have put house on market so have to wait and see how long that takes to
sell, then Perth here we come. We went to Perth at Easter after hubby got positive TRA, and loved it. Friends moved out there in July and have really settled well apart from the missing relatives and friends, don't know how Im gonna do the goodbyes when its our turn!!
Good luck

Re: Peth bound??
 

Will be staying in Spearwood when we first arrive, but hope to buy in Freo - if we can afford it - depends on job situation. I like, south/east/north and central Fremantle - don't mind where we end up to be honest. Can't wait, getting really excited now and don't want to be at work! :)

Re: Peth bound??
 

Depart Manchester 1st March 2006 - One Way :scared: .

Three nights in the Shangri-La Singapore and touchdown in Perth 5th March 2006.

3 weeks in a Connolly fully furnished rental and then ...

:eek:

To be continued ...

Re: Peth bound??
 

Hi everyone, weve just booked our flights for June 25th to go to Perth oneway and never been before :scared: ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,dont know anyone there, have distant family but have never met them, maybe we could all meet up when we get there, not sure where were moving to yet, depends on the job situation really, I like the look of Freemantle, Rockingham but difficult to say untill youve been really x :)

Re: Peth bound??
 

Hiya

We hope to be heading over about September 06, still in the process of all paperwork etc. Went over there 2 years ago and loved it.



P.S. Glad to see I'm not the only chocoholic around.

Re: Peth bound??
 

Hi Dawn, keep us in mind for the first week or so, as when you travel all this way you really do need your own space, especially if you only have "very distant family" here. Our web page is http://members.westnet.com.au/cedarcottage/ Just another option. Good luck.Suzette and Will.
