Help - Moving to Perth - what to do first????
Hi all, we are a family of 4 looking to re-locate to Perth during the next year, certainly by 2012 is the aim. We visited in March and stayed in Somerly, Clarkson which we found fairly good location wise. Does anyone have any advice re the order of things, immigration is sorted as my fiancee and the kids are Australian citizens and I have PR. We have a house to sell in the UK and would need to find jobs out there, also a primary school for our eldest. What order did everyone who has made the move do things? Also can anyone recommend any decent suburbs and primary schools, we would also need a nursery for our youngest. Does anyone know of any good sites to look at for furnished rentals in Perth? Is it possible to organise a rental property from the UK so you have somewhere to go straight to on arrival? Can anyone advise on furniture costs out there as that is another debate, would we pack up the house and ship it or just sell everything before we leave? Soooooo much to think about, my brain is overloaded! Any help or advice would be most appreciated! Thanks :

Hi there and welcome to B.E.
It's my pleasant duty to welcome you to the forum and give you a point of contact should you need any help with the site in general. You can contact me here.
A list of all the moderators and helpers with their relevant countries including Australia can be found here.
Any problems, dont hesitate to PM me.
I see that you re-posted in Australia forum which is good and thanks for posting in the welcome inn.
I'll add my two cent's worth over in the other section.

We have a great bunch of people who post in our Australia Forums.....many of whom live in Perth...they will give you tips and advice on life Down Under. The link I have given you will take you to the main index page of the Australia Forum...at the top of the page you will see a list of sub forums. The top forum is the Immigration Forum...the Main forum is for topics relating to Australia and The Barbie is for general chit chat. Also take a look in the BE Wiki...you'll find loads of useful info in there.
Before you begin posting please take time to read through the Site Rules and any stickied threads or announcements that may be posted at the top of each forum's index page.
Alistairboyle and Kelli28 are the concierges for the Australia forums...so if you have any problems finding your way around our many forums please contact them.
For all other concerns or problems please contact a moderator or admin. Every BE forum has at least one moderator dedicated to that forum...Australia has 3...Cresta57, Monneypenny20, and Sonlymewalter.
I hope you enjoy your time with us and don't forget to shout out should you require any help.
