Mums & toddlers

Hi,

We have been offered a job in Perth and we are going to take it - due out by the 10th March.

Does anybody know if there are any good baby and toddler clubs or things to do in the Perth area while Michael is at work?

Thanks, The Mitchells

You will need to know the post code but there are plenty of things to do in Perth, don't worry.

This is brilliant - thanks.

We only decided we were going to Perth last week and with 6 weeks to go I feel v. unprepared and haven't been able to do any of the research I had planned to do (I have a 2 year old and a 6 month baby). Yes I think we must be mental.

Good new is that my husband has a good job to go to. So thats one worry off the list :0)

Cant wait to get out to Perth and a more outdoor lifestyle (I live in Scotland just now!).

What are your views on the best 'family' subarbs to look at?

Thanks again

P!

My advice is take a short term holiday rental and have a good look around. I like north of the river as it is close to the city, beach with good facilities to hand. You may not like it, you may prefer the hills or south of the river. Just keep an open mind, you can't research everything and have a good look around when you arrive.

Good luck with your move.

Hi,
We are hoping to go to perth early next year, although we are going out in may for a 3week rekkie.
I am a nurse, husband works for 'ford' motor company. He has a degree in mechanical eng, but specialises in aircon. He is having problems getting a job in perth, can you believe it.
I would move there tomorrow if I could!
Goodluck
Michelle

Hi the Mitchells,
been here 6 weeks-not found any toddler groups etc but my daughter has just turned 3 yrs old-so if you fancy meeting up at all we can have our own mini toddler group!

Hi,

For us location was set by where we got work as I was working shifts initially with an 11pm finsh and I didn't want an hours commute after that. I work in Armadale and hubby's office base is in Malaga - so we're just sor in Leeming. For us it's a great location as we're only 10 mins from the city by train and 20 mins to Freo. Have a good look around when you get here, work out how long it will take hubby to get to work (in rush hour traffic) and it will help you decide the areas you want to live.

Have a look on Australia migration - suburb profiles, accommodation, schools, real estate, jobs in Perth, Adelaide, Brisbane, Melbourne, Sydney, Canberra, Darwin and Hobart which has a map of suburbs and average house prices - again it'll give you a bit of an idea of where you want to be.

Ali
