Hi all
Well me and the family are off to perth in 5 weeks for a 3 week holiday/look around.
The wife was born in perth the mother in law lives there. ( how nice )
The wife has just got her Australian Passport as she has not been back since she left @ the age of 2 . We have obtained the kids citizenship by decent and have got them Australian passports too so its just me that has to be convinced as i can get a transfer within the company i work for We have rented a house in Kalleroo would be great if some one could tell me what its like i.e area , weather , pubs and any think else that would be some help. Thanks for reading.

Hi Jase,
were in a similar situation to you except its me thats from Perth originally.
Just need to renew my Australian passport then do same with the kids as you have done.
Mrs will also be getting the spouses visa. Hoping to be there by august this year.
Was it straight forward getting the kids citizenship once your wife got her passport ?
Anyway in answer to your questions ;
Im not 100% sure what Kallaroo is like but i know the property in that area is quite pricey, so it must be fairly nice.
Its not far from Hillarys wich is lovely with a nice harbour and beach.
We went to seaworld there while on holiday last july and although it wasnt cheap, it was a good day out for all the family.
You also arnt too far away from Joondalup wich has an enourmouse shopping centre with cinemas etc.
Im sure you will love it and decide to move pretty soon.

Nic ( the wife ) got kids citizenship first then went and got all three passports together as she had not held one before. You can get forms off www.citizenship.gov.au download form 118 fill in and send with original documents plus certified photocopies it only took 1 week from sending but at a cost of £90 for 2 kids. You will find it easier than Nic as she had to send form to births,deaths & marriages in Perth to get her name changed as they wont except English marriage cetificate!!!!! That took 3 weeks and a cost of £84 .To get passoorts you need to go to the London ebassy in person and you need to make an appointment. Hope all goes well for you, if you need any more help let us know.

Hi
Sorry that I am late in replying, I lived in kallaroo for 3 years. It is great. You can walk to the beach (Mullaloo Beach) and the tavern. There is a tavern at the shopping cntre at Whitfords which has a really nice atmosphere. You are close enough to Hillarys, plenty of taverns and resturants there.
Lots of nice parks in the area and good schools. It is located at 25kms from the City centre. Public transport is good and all the ammenities that you would need. You will like Kallaroo and Perth.
Enjoy your holiday.

regards
Sunny
