We are moving to Perth October 20th from Canada. Just looking into getting a short term rental at the moment and then looking to find something more long term. Have never been to Perth or Austalia before, so it should be interesting.
We are a family of four (two teenage girls), no animals (had to rehome them), looking forward to our big move.

Hi 'm an electrician and I'm hoping to be in ashby perth around the 10th of nov.
good luck everybody with there moves
We fly from Manchester 3rd November to Perth. We sold the house, got container organised - all we need to do is sell our car. We staying with relations in Ballajura. No kids, no pets - and cannot wait. No jobs - but will get them asap when we arrive - buy a car and look for private rental. Then purchase.
Have to say getting very emotional though!!! And I know it will get worse - but as OH keeps saying, we now have telephone, emails and webcams to keep in touch with BRILL friends and family.
Cannot wait - just want to get there.
Good luck to all that travelling soon towards GREAT weather, leaving winter behind and going into a great summer.
Yes they are booked in quarantine, the dogs fly out on the 17th nov we havent booked our flight yet but are hoping to go around the 18th/19th.
I just dont think I could leave one of them, plus I dont really have anyone here I would trust enough to look after one of them. My hubby has an uncle in perth & he said that there are loads of rentals at the moment because of the housing market & that so am hoping they may be a bit more desperate & consider us.
Your right it is so stressful, we sold all our big potted plants yesterday it now looks so bare in the garden & the realisation has hit home that we are going very soon! I know this time next year we will probably look back & think why did we worry, but at the moment I am one stressed lady ha ha.
Hope you have a great holiday take care chrissie x x
There's a chance we'll be arriving in November, when we got job offers in June that was when we planned to go but no sign of visas or employment contracts yet. Trying to stay positive, there is no reason to think it won't come through & we still hope to be there before Christmas
Location: Herts/Beds border to Adelaide hopefully!

Our chances of arriving in November have just improved, our contracts of employment arrived yesterday and our 457 visa application has been lodged! Fingers crossed for a November meet in Perth
