I arrived in Perth on 7th October and my family arrived on Wednesday 13th. Just picked up our new car today so we can start hitting the suburbs. We are renting in Rockingham for the next 2 weeks (from where we can visit all of the southern suburbs) and then moving North to Scarborough beach (to do the Northern ones). After that we will select the area we liked the best and try to buy somewhere. A lot to do in the next 5 weeks I reckon! Loving it already, although the house has been really cold the last few days what with it being the coldest morning in 11 years and the house overlooking the beach and picking up the howling wind from the ocean. Saying that, I wouldn't want to be anywhere else!

Trying to wind us scousers up . Well it didn't work. Pick on someone else

Golly, in no form was I trying to offend anyway - just merely stating the facts - people from the Liverpool area do work, I went there for a football match so I know.

Believe me I like scousers - just wouldn't lend you any money.

We're heading for Secret Harbour hopefully next month ( if the house sale goes through smoothly ) . We visited three years ago and fell in love with the place. If anyone is interested there is another site for Perth people ( mainly SOR ) www.emi-great.com , they have regular meet ups and are a friendly bunch.

Another lot headed for Perth here . It's all been rather sudden. Hubby was offered a job (within same company) last week and they want us out there by January :scared: . Needless to say, I have no idea where we'll live (although Hillarys & Scarborough look lovely) but it has to be relatively close to CBD as that's where Hubby will be based.

We'll be in Perth for a week at the end of November for a quick reccie, but it seems quite daunting to fit such a lot into such a short time. I'm off for a glass of wine to calm my nerves . Hubby will be working in Oz while I pack up and sell the house, organise the kids and ship the dogs. What is it they say about a woman's work?

Good luck to everyone in the same boat. Hope your move goes well. Maybe see you out there .

That seems to have took you all by surprise . Have you known about it long?

Have you always wanted to emigrate or have you no choice, because of you hubby's job?

Good luck anyway, and if you need any help with it all, just ask

we are off to perth in august, had a look round but prefer the north of the river hilarys and sorrento down to carine. hope to rent first, and give us time to find the right place and area.

In total we've known for 3 weeks . It's a mixture of everything really, wanting to, job offering the opportunity etc. It's all very exciting - the timescale is a bit worrying though, I'm not the most organised person in the world .

Thanks for the offer of help - it's much appreciated. Whereabouts in Perth are you? I'm still trying to learn the geography .

I'm still in U.K (North-East) Hoping to be out there by May next year. Am nearly at the point were I will be sending off my visa, so Have basically done everything I need to in the application process.
