Peanut allergy is well documented here in Perth. The schools and child minding centres are well aware of the seriousness of it; and appropriate action is taken so as to prevent a repeat occurrence of a tragic incident.

Unfortunately; it had to take the death of a little one to bring it all out into the spotlight.

Must admit; prior to seeing it on the TV and reading about it in the press following reports about the tragic death.......... I wasn't aware such a condition existed.

I'm pretty sure the schools make mention of peanut allergy in their enrollment handbooks and such conditions have to be registered with staff.

I suffer from hayfever but other than from when there is an excessive amount of pollen in the atmosphere; it doesn't seem to bother me as much down-under as it did in the UK?

Getting back to your question about Carramar......... well we love it in Carramar.

We built a house in Golf Links Drive in 1997 on the golf course estate, we sold that and moved onto a 5 acre block about 5 years ago.

When are you due to arrive?

Sing out if you need any help re real estate matters or anything else?

Hi,

My childrens school (Leeming WA) takes peanut allergy very seriously in that no child is allowed to take any preanut products for lunch.recess etc., in case a child with an allergy accidentally comes into contact with it. I think most schools int he area have such a clause.
