I love Perth and one of the reasons I'm going to Perth is because I'm an uncultured
country boy. I'm going to get a V8, I like getting pissed, I'm going to do a lot of
windsurfing, I'm a big AC/DC fan and I don't give a shit about orchestras and
theatres. I'm going to love it there.

Hope you get visa okay , the locals here will love you Perth sounds your type of place , your skills seem well up to requirements any good at burn outs with V8 cars , best times after midnight loads of pals will play with you.
Hopefully I've left before you get here , but best of luck.

You're slipping PB. "After midnight" is any time of the day except midnight.

Re: Vote for Brisbane Sydney Perth Adelaide Melbourne other
Just interesting to note the difference in this site response to the poll, compared to https://www.austimeline.com/austime/...s.jsp?pollId=1
The majority of people emigrating to australia move to Melbourne and Syndey, as reflected in govenment studies, and reflected in the austimeline one but not this forum. Do we not vote the same on this forum or is it totally reflective of the vocal views only? Just asking.
Cheers

Re: Vote for Brisbane Sydney Perth Adelaide Melbourne other
The austimeline poll has 323 entries on it and are from all over the world. The poll on this site is generally aimed at British migrants. I would image there would be a different profile overall.
Perhaps Brits go for different reasons and want to escape the fast pace, big cities. want cheaper cost of living is my big aim and can't get that in Sydney.
Other migrants from Far East and Middle East want fast pace, challenge, properity etc. They are probably younger aswell and are IT applicants.
Or am I wrong?
Mash.......

I've never lived in Perth for any period of time so I can't say whether the isolation will get to me. There are 1.4 million people in the Perth area so its not like you're going to go days without seeing anyone ! As I type this, I aren't thinking "Thank GOD Sheffield is just down the road!" so maybe I won't get "cabin fever" over in Perth because of the isolation.
We'll know by this time next year !

As for the isolation getting you down, I guess it depends on what you want from life. We came from West Yorks and were going to go to Sydney but rellies there said that Perth was the place for young families...so we came here and have never regretted a thing. It's not as comercial as over east but I think that's a good thing, as the kids learn to appreciate the simpler things in life.

Thanks Stevo
That's great to hear. We have a 3 year old and hope to have another quite soon after arriving. It is very very important to me that the quality of life i can offer my children is far better than here.
Any handy hints for moving with hyper kids gratefully received!
Keep up the positive postings.

When you arrive, firstly get the BIBLE(Perth street directory). Then a car. Find a rental house in a suburb you fancy preferably near a Kindie, as that is where you should send your 3yr old to get to know other kids and also a good place to meet other mothers who will be a great source of information to you.
Good luck with the flight....when we came ours were 4 and 18months...and it wasn't a nice experience. Thank god it was only 1 way...lol.
