Hi all,
quite new to the site joined sometime last week. Is there anyone using this from Merseyside? It would be great to chat to some locals, not that there is anything wrong with the rest of you! lol
Hi Jan,
where about in Perth are you going to? We are thinking of Mandurah, Rockingham or Joondalup. Haven't quite decided yet still might end up going to Melbourne "not sure about the weather". The houses seem a bit more exspensive in Perth, does that reflect the wages?
Only started the process last week "very excited" still coming to terms with the fact that I have actually done something about it we have thought about it for long enough! We have never been to oz before so are going in blind, will miss everyone loads but i'm sure we will make lots of new friends!
Just let u know your not on your own, we r the Taylor family who also live in Prescot, we r just waiting to sell the house, everything else gone through, just spent 3 weeks in melbourne in April coz r Visas dates were 7th June - that meant we had to activate r visa b4 or on that date.
Anyway would love to chat to u and give u any info you may need, have u gone through an agent, if u would like one I would strongly recommend the one we used.
Hi to fellow Merseysiders! .. I am from the Wirral but moved down here to Essex nearly 2 years ago but still come back regulary, next weekend in fact!
My OH is an ozzie, from Sydney, and we are moving back over there next year. I went over last year for 4 weeks and loved it. Can I just say all this talk I had heard about the ozzies NOT liking us Brits was a load of rubbish! All the people I met were lovely friendly ones ..I think being a scouser helped coz we are naturally chatty friendly people! I remember we went to Lake Bareen (sorry if spelling is wrong) which is up in the mountains outside Cairns not near any big cities, and at a lakeside tearooms, which looked like something out of the twenties, we met a family from Crosby!
John my OH reckons that us scousers are EVERYWHERE! .. he just complains when we get together we talk so fast he cant understand us! One day at the Stanley Dock Market in Liverpool he stood there with a look of total confusion on his poor likkle face ..CONVINCED the Stall holder who was speaking to him must be russian coz he couldnt understand a word .... LOL!...he was just a scouser!

I totally agree with you u Curlysoo, recently returned from Oz last month, and we found that all the ozzy people we met and spoke to were so helpful and kind, they couldn't do enough to help u, cant wait to get back over there. Feeling the strain coz house still hasnt sold, people keep sayin soon, any time now, well we're still waiting.
