Guys

I need your help and advice once again!!

OH company are now basing him in Perth, after orginally he was to be based in Melbourne then at the 11th hour they decided Sydney would be better, as that is where they are HO is, after we explained there was no way we could live there on his salary and pay to educate three children as we are on a 457 Visa which was free in Victoria they have had a little re-think which I have to say will not be confirmed until next week and suggested Perth he flys out in a few weeks I will follow in November.

I carried out lots of research on Melbourne, with loads of help and support from everyone on this fantastic site, I had the perfect place to live with great schools near the beach and in within our tight budget even had the quote from the removal company for our possessions

The problem is now I know nothing about Perth, the company are leaving it up to us where we live as OH will travel around with the job anyway. I am looking to live near a beach but I suppose excellent schools are definately at the top of the list I have an 11, 8, and 7 year old they would so love to be able to walk or cycle to school something that is virtually impossible where we live in England, and be near the beach. Please could you help and advise me on great areas for the children with excellent schools etc I have budgeted around $3-$400 PW OH salary is only $70,000 PA so I know things will be pretty tight. Actually my head is really starting to spin with all these changes that have been thrown at us I just so hope it will all be worth it :-)

I really do appreciate you taking the time to read my thread and in helping in anyway at all possible!!!!
