Hi Claire
Yeh that meet up is a bit too far would love to have gone otherwise but I think he might kill me if I suggest it to him. LOL. We have the visa a 136 skilled as well. There seems to be a lot heading towards Rockingham. We have a 9yr old girl and 8 yr old boy coming with us, the older 2 boys are staying here.(Bloody eejits)I'm just at the last stage of decluttering now and going to start tidying up paintwork and then put this place on the market.
I will PM you my e-mail address for the Skype. Will try to get on here as much as pos in the next few weeks I love to hear how everyone is getting on.

For anyone heading to Rockingham area, I have posted a thread about us and been asked so many questions about it I have started a thread: NEW MIGRANTS IN ROCKINGHAM WA, 1 hour South of Perth

I am answering questions about the area and if any one can help on other local areas especially good schools and property prices please put them on there for all to read.

I have even had questions about the Peel region but am not sure where it is. If someone can give me a city name then I will know roughly.

Thanks

Angie:)

Can I join this thread. We are from Dublin going to Perth hopefully around October. If house sells by then. Hubby is a Plumber/Pipefitter. We have 4 kids, 22, 19, 9 & 8. 2 older ones are staying here and the 2 younger ones coming with us.
At the moment we are looking at settling in around the Rockingham area. Have went through a few weeks of not been able to decide where to go but decided to stick with Rockingham. I have enjoyed reading this thread, have been lurking trying to get through it before I decided to post. Would love to be able to meet up with some of you when we get to Aus. I know the kids will make friends when they get into school but I'm thinking of me.
By the way were oldies compared to some here, I'm 44 and hubby is 45 but whats age only a number feel as young as I did when I was 24.
Sorry seem to have rambled a bit, I'm putting that down to excitement of getting there.
Hope to chat to some of you soon.
Sandra.:D
P.S I'm on Skype and MSN as well if anyone wants a chat.



I'm a real oldie former plumber-pipefitter at 59 then......... but i only feel 29 so that's okay.:thumbsup:

Mandurah is in the Peel shire. For property prices your best bet is :- www.realestate.com.au

Thanks so much. I should know really but we just landed, rented, then bought a property. Although I should have seen the sign as we have been to Mandrah a couple of times.

No problems, it does take awhile for everything to sink in. Hope you are settling well.

Been here over 10 years now and we're in the northern sub's, Iluka. Don't go to any meets, just don't have the time to be honest.
