hiya my hubby is a chef

we originally wanted to go to perth as we have family there but found it too expensive. i may add that we have never been and our family there would loved us to have gone though our research on paper shows we perhaps could not afford to live there. our relatives live in sorrento and heathridge. can i ask as you have been on a reccie - how did you find the availabillity of jobs ? and salarys ? our research from the uk shows the average wage in perth and adelaide are the same though the cost of living/housing in adelaide is certainly cheaper. of course the chances of my oh landing an excellent job paying the right wage is likely in perth and adelaide we decided to go with average salary expectancy and live on the safe side.

i would love to hear your experience from your reccie though after much turmoil we are going to adelaide we fly on the 30th oct so i suppose there is no going back but would be very interested all the same.

thanks and good luck
