The 'PERTHIES' Thread......As requested!
 
Right as we all talked about it here it is!
AS there seem to be many of us migrating to Perth :D This is a place to chill, gossip or moan like hell about all things Perth/visa/spouse or child related, (edited for Ast). Progress reports, mini meet notices etc.
Hopefully we can build up some networks here to start us all off in Oz:p
Would be nice to keep in touch for those going to the same areas.
So here goes nothing.....shame it can't be pinned by the mods so it doesnt slip off the message boards...so keep posting folks?? :)

It was great to meet you all last night even if I did make a few faux paus (sp?)
OMG my brain is in such a whirl at the moment...sorry if I offended you last night Ast? I think what I said may have come out slightly wrong! Nerves get the better of me at times and I go too far the other way! I was trying to ask if you felt better as I know you had a serious bout of man flu! :(
Anyway, as I said it's a place to post anything Perth related that others may find usefull...I know there is already a thread for Perth Newbies...but we made a few good friends last night and it would be nice to keep it going :D

rachie,please i honestly have not got a clue what you are talking about are you silver knights wife?you did not offend me in the slightest no one did.it was fantastic to be around such positve people.i had a look and everyone in our big circle was smiling,the rest of the pub must of thought we were from a different planet.

i was only joking myself about the perth and moaning bit above,i know that all those people i met last will find perth evrything they are looking for and more.perth deserves people who are so upbeat and optomistic..

Hi all just wanted to say from Perth.:D

We have been here since October 2005 and are very happy and settled here. We live in the burb of Carramar, which is about 30km from Perth CBD. My Daughter goes to the local Primary school with is very good. My hubby works in the city and commutes on the train, which takes about 1 hour door to door. And I have the luxury of not having to work so I can spend time meeting friends for coffee and lunch!!

Also we meet up once a week at the Quay Café in Hillarys at 12pm for new and old expats to come along, it’s good place to meet new friends and get plenty of information about life here in Perth. You are all welcome to check us out when you arrive.:thumbup:

If anyone needs help or info please feel free to ask and I will try to help.

Yes much better, we have been able to reserve tables, they are child more friendly, even have a small toy box, the food is good and the service quick. Its helps that its family run so have been able to go out of thier to help us. Hopefully you will try to join us again one Thrusday.:thumbup:

Good morning 'PERTHIES', We are heading to perth and are currently waiting for a CO (October applicants, i run a spreadsheet) not sure if i can build a house or owt tho as i am a cook and currently driving trains here in Lincoln. I have just booked our meds at Nottingham which we are frontloading so please lots of fingers crossed for a CO very soon as my poor little head cant take much more:confused:

Anyway good luck to all of you that i havent spoken to yet in your endeavours.
