We hope to go to Perth November 06. Looking at Rockingham, but all depends on jobs. May even end up moving another area of Oz depending on the job situation. Wife is Psych nurse and i work in IT support.

Hi

We are hoping to move to Perth in about a years time, me, hubby, 2 boys (15 and 12) and one girl (9). Got to wait till then as oldest boy has GCSE's next year and we think it's better for him to do his exams here.

Sister in Law lives in Hillarys so we would like to be round there somewhere, depending on how much we can afford at the time, and work.

We have been twice and it only took me 2 days to say I want to live here, it took hubby till the second trip but that really did it. He wants a boat! :)

SOR = South of River

NOR = North of River

It may as well be the Berlin Wall - people tend to live in one or the other and rarely change from North to south or vice versa ever, so make your decision carefully LOL!

And then the two other "main names" are the "Western Suburbs" which are between river and ocean

"The Hills" is pretty self explanatory.

We put our application in beginning of June and are hoping to go out to Rockingham/Mandurah direction by the beginning of the new school year feb 06 although we will go as soon as we get visa and sell the house :D

I have a sister in Kwinana who's youngest boy is the same age as mine, same school year as well although they would have been different school year in UK.

Hubby is a plumber so he should be ok for work with all the new building going on.

Can't wait to see you all out there :D :D

Hi, we are planning Perth area too! :)

Not sure on area, although hubby lived NOR as a child, and thats where we stayed in Nov last year for our rekkie, we loved it.

Especially, Hillarys, Sorrento, Mindarie, Ocean Reef, although we have heard great things about Secret Harbour and Mandurah too! Due to come out end Nov/beg Dec on business visa - all being well :D

Looking at websites, you seem to get more for your money SOR, than NOr, anyone any comments on that?

:)
