PREPARING FOR THE BIG PUSH
Hi guys,
After reading many of the post on here I have decided to emigrate to Perth, Australia,I have targeted July as the time I will fly out there . I am currently selling as much of my belongings as possible, thinking it would be cheaper, I am however keeping my work tools, as these are my lively-hood , I intend to rent an apartment or flat or even a room, until I get settled, Does anyone know the best place to look for cheap accommodation without actually being in Perth, Because of the economy here in UK , my funds are not great at the moment so I really do not want to stay in a hotel for any amount of time. I am as so wanting to know if there is anywhere I can send my tools before I leave the UK for cheap storage,as I do not have an address yet.

Look on gumtree and there might be some online noticeboards for accommodation near the various universities. There are also some notices in community newspapers, most of which are available online. Have you sorted out the right sort of visa to work here?

Re: PREPARING FOR THE BIG PUSH
Another way to look for accomodation is to search google etc for house sitting in Perth.
Most are free as you look after the property while the owners are away. You will probably need references and police checks to do this.
Or search for properties where people want to share the costs.
I know what you mean about the job opportunities in general that's why I'm going in June.
