Hi Nickie & Kev, consider it done, slotted you in at No.99. Welcome to the Perth thread :thumbsup:

Hi, just wondering if there are any othe rmeet ups or social events planned over the next couple of months?:thumbsup:

Re: Settling in Perth 2007/8 List
 

Hi Bruce

Just found your post. We have not been on site for some time been a bit mad this end.
We also left uk 25/10/07 and arrived 26th. We are now living in Rockingham. My OH also was a BT engineer and doing the same as you in the (uk) I think. What are you doing for work now ? Have you moved back into telecoms? How are you settling in?

Re: Settling in Perth 2007/8 List
 

We have got our visa :thumbsup: and hope to be in Perth the end of April this year, we need to go before Dec 9th so dont have a lot of time left to get things moving.

Re: Settling in Perth 2007/8 List
 

Hi all

Just found this thread:D

Got our visa last week and now need to sell up and get out.

We bought land in Secret Harbour back in 2006 and the building starts in Feb, so hopefully the house will be all finished by Sept this year.

Aiming to get out there in July/Aug and then we can oversea the final stages, really can't wait.:thumbup:

Hi Elaine
Don't you mean May?????:rofl:

Re: Settling in Perth 2007/8 List
 

Hi All,

We had our visas granted on 9 January :thumbsup: so we've begun the HUGE task of getting the house ready for the market and getting shipping quotes. It feels VERY real now!!

We have to validate by 30 September but hope to move over after the end of June, house-sale willing of course!

We have relatives in Safety Bay & Waikiki, Rockingham, and will start off around there for a few weeks so that we can drive around and get a feel for the place before deciding where to settle - all depends on schools.

On the subject of schools, any information on schools in the Rockingham area (Safety Bay, Warnbro, Port Kennedy etc) would be very much appreciated. We need a primary & High School, its very daunting trying to decide on such things from the other side of the world :unsure:

Thanks for any info.

Re: Settling in Perth 2007/8 List
 

Our police checks hit Oz today, so it is decision time for DIAC!!!!!

The house is on the market so we are set to go, all very scary and very exciting at the same time.

Hi,

Here is the updated list:

Re: Settling in Perth 2007/8 List
 

Hi, We are hoping to move to Oz in March, however previously perfectly healthy Mother in Law was rushed into hospital the day we put the house on the market, and is about to have open heart surgery and a triple bipass :( so it could be April.

Re: Settling in Perth 2007/8 List
 

:thumbsup:we now have an offer on the house:thumbsup:

looking at flying between 20th and 26th april

now realy scared soooooo much to do:blink:

Re: Settling in Perth 2007/8 List
 

We have settled in quite well although the heat takes some getting used to.

I have a job in telecoms with a local company the does work for Service Stream (Telstra main contracter for Perth south of the river and beyond). I was a CSE in London the work here requires more flexability and a lot of digging! It pays the bills and I'm outside in the sun - so no complaints from me:thumbup:

Bruce:)

Re: Settling in Perth 2007/8 List
 

Hi,

Looks like travel will be earlier now , was down on list for May but have sold house and motorbike. Waiting for missives to be signed and then i can book flights for end March 1st week April. God i can t wait . Staying with relatives short term until i can find 6 month let. Need to get a car second hand too so if anyone knows of honest garage to go look please let me know ;).

God thought the moment would never come. Still getting rid of everything in the house as only taking some personal momento s nothing else . Need to start fresh. looking to rent furnished for 6 months so can take time to check everything out. I am excited but worried at same time if that makes sense. Teenagers will hopefully make some friends out there so they settle.

After 6 month rental hope to buy but will need mortgage too.

:thumbsup:
