Hi there

We have been in oz over 2 years but only just moved here, we love it! Hubby has a good job so we are lucky, we have 2 young kids so I am not working at the mo. So you are in bokorina? Where is it and whats it like? we are renting too but we are buying again in about 6 months the question is where? So many places to choose from.
Not joined a surf club yet, probably will join Mooloolaba and Maroochydore soon.
What do you do for a living? Any kids?

Thanks. We've got everything crossed at the moment !

We went there on a recce this year as we ( and the in-laws ) have old friends there. We LOVED it. Perth is beautiful - lovely and clean and spacious, we travelled all over and didn't see litter or graffiti, we travelled on public transport a few times and it was vlean and efficient and there were no hoodies or foul-mouthed teenagers ( not that we saw, anyway ). Hey - we even saw teenagers get up on trains to let adults have their seats !

Also it has great beaches, loads of nice un-vandalised parks and there seem to be plenty of work opportunities. Unfortunately, the house/land prices have shot up this year, but we're sold on the place and can't wait to get out there. The kids loved it, too, and are also really up for it.

Can't wait.
