Hi Vicky,
Yes Perth is where we are heading i think we are going to try south Perth first and see where we go from there.
I've never even thought about jobs yet, i should really but we are just going for it.
Am i right in thinking your heading to Perth as well?
Good luck with your plans.

Hi Ian - nice to hear from you!
We too will be renting, I'm checking flights for 27th June! Been checking jobs for OH for weeks now and it looks dire! Contemplating whether to leave it for a while or try elsewhere, but it doesn't appear to be better anywhere else at the mo!
Anyway, I'll just have to work full-time
Good luck with the selling, cleaning etc. and hope you have a good flight, let us know how you get on - do I recall you too are heading to Perth?

Fear not there is plenty of Strongbow here in Perth. OH is a cider drinker and he is coping just fine.

Glad to hear things are working out for you, you sound like you're making a real success of it, good on you
Yes, seems yonks ago since we were all checking for our visa grants, hourly! Think most people are out there now, or the last remaining few are nearly there!
Oh, did you manage to sort out tenants for your rental in Currambine? Looks a nice suburb. We're not exactly sure where we'll rent yet.
Hopefully I'll be going to the meet ups so may get to meet you one day!

Think initially will do agency work, them hopefully refresher course at KEMH in Nov, so that's NOR, but hopefully if we stay I would like to work for the RFDS, and they are based at Jandakot SOR! So we're not really sure where to head! Got a good friend who lives in Baldivis, and also good friends in Merriwa, so many decisions!!
Good luck with your move, may get to meet you one day!

Re: September 2007 Applicants
Hi everyone, sorry not been on for ages now, but we've finally
booked our flights and we leave on 24th June.
We are busy cleaning things and selling other things, not the house though that still hasn't sold so we will be renting it out and hopefully sell it in a year or so.
We haven't booked our removals yet but think we are going with Robinsons, have any of you guys used them? What were they like?
anyway better get back to the cleaning.
Ian...

yes we used robinsons, they were great...didnt have any probs with them.
we did only use them the uk side tho...as the company paid for the shipping and they used wridgeways an aussie firm for the aussie side.
but from my experience, i would recommend them!

Re: September 2007 Applicants
No lisa we live north east of adelaide xx but I'll keep a look out for them next time I go down south
Ian the only shippers I wouldn't use is FOX they bashed our stuff about lost a new mattress and the packing was awful could claim some of the damaged stuff off our insurance but Fox have never replyed to our letters or said sorry

A belated congratulations on the wedding, you looked lovely
Well we never quite made it to Oz. We moved to Canada before we got our Oz visas as I was offered a job and we've never left. We validated our visas around this time last year and a couple of weeks ago we got our Permanent Residency visas for Canada!! House back in UK is STILL not sold 2 yrs later, despite dropping over 100,000 off it
Glad to hear you have settled in well and good luck with the house move
