Re: Who's going to Perth???
We also want to go to Perth. Got the visas recently and are going on a visa validation trip to Perth in December (leaving UK on Boxing Day).
Purely based on what we've read we would prefer to live north of the river. But we'll see once we get there. And it'll depend on where we get jobs - wouldn't want to have too far to commute. Gina |

Just sick of the bad press Perth is getting atm, and don't want this to go the same way as all the other threads :( |
Re: Who's going to Perth???
I will be looking to live in the following areas:
White gum valley East/south and central Fremantle Would consider beaconsfield, hilton, spearwood and suburbs a little further out of Fremantle they are not walking distance into Fremantle, but the properties are loads cheaper in suburbs further out. I will be doing some more research when I get out there. I love cottesloe - although I can't afford it! Personally, I wouldn't live in Rockingham, have visited but as a personal preference, I would rather be near Fremantle - that's my personal opinion. I suppose it depends on what you want from an erea and what suits you. |

Re: Who's going to Perth???
Hi All
Good thread this one. My wife and I are hoping to emigrate in 2007. Shes got a profession which currently is sought after for extra points so we're just looking recently into all the forms etc. We've passed a couple of basis online assessments so far and are now looking to get more into the process. Checking out using an agent or not atm..... We're coming out to Perth next Jan 06 :D :D I have friends / relations from my mother who eimgrated in the 60's and then came home ! We're looking to move eventually to Perth. Not a clue where yet.....our 9 weeks in Oz next year will help us decide on a lot of things....not least of which confirm that we do want to move. So i;'ll be keeping a lot more eye on here and no doubt asking questions about the form filling process over the coming weeks :D |
Re: Who's going to Perth???
We want to go to Perth. Have narrowed it down to three areas :
Butler - NOR Warnbro - SOR Mandurah - SOR Have already checked out Mandurah and surrounding areas and liked it. When we get visas will check out the other areas for schools and work before making final decision. The sooner the better too :D |
Re: Who's going to Perth???
HI there - we are both nurses, (well I'm a midwife). Andy has had a positive skills assessment - he's the visa applicant. We are hoping to be in Perth 2006. The areas we are looking at, at the moment are Mandurah - Andy's uncle lives there or Bunbury (No screaming I know its not Perth). May change our minds when we get there and all is dependant on jobs especially as I want to do agency rather than contract.

Re: Who's going to Perth???
I leave for Singapore on Sunday 2nd October (Just checked in online tonight as it happens, and now filling in all my tax closing down forms - what a joy) and then onto Perth on 7th October. I am renting a place in Rockingham for 3 weeks then in Scarborough beach for another 3 weeks. This will give us enough time to scoot around to all the suburbs and decide where to settle. When we decide that, we'll either rent for 6 months or buy a place.
