Tried the fire service and kept running in to brick walls thats with 14yrs experience,a very long story. wife is a nurse and even she says that the money is poor unless you want to work nights or week ends,but at the end of the day we come hear for a better life not to work our buts off 24/7. education is questionable 15yr old has very little home work and is bored out his mind,he has been offered drugs and nearly mugged at the train station,(thanks to a scotish woman who stepped in). beaches are great and the weather nice but thats it. so we are cutting our losses and heading home asap we are both sad that things have not turned out the wife more so. but thats life one long journey. some times you make mistakes cheers to everyone for the advice i have received over the months and bloody good luck to anyone trying you will need it task :) |

Re: gan yem
This sums up what most people think of Perth. I have to say Perth is taking alot of bashing lately, people coming out of the closet and being honest. We all say the same thing about it....boring, lifeless, crap wages, expensive and so on...
Shame we weren't told all this before we left our homeland. Or should i say, shame people can't be more honest. |
Re: gan yem
:thumbsup: Hopefully I will be ganning yem with ya..lol.. We are in the states and I am hoping me and the kids will leave in June and the hubby will follow in August. I am assuming your from the North? Nothing like seeing that coast line when flying into Newcastle. I never get tired of seeing it.
Good luck with your move. |
