Hi

I am selling my polo.

Its a perfect car for a recent mover to Aus, a new driver or someone who wants a little city runaround. I have loved owning it and I am only the second lady owner. Its the only car I have owned since moving to Melbourne and it has never let me down.

My partner Andrew is best to contact, details on the carsales ad below.

Thanks

Hi all,

 

Just wanted some thoughts on making the move from Perth to Melbourne and wondered if anyone had done it.

 

We arrived in perth 6 months ago and to be honest, we have found it utterly boring, backwards, full of chavs and bogans, a nightmare to get around if you haven't got a car, too hot, barren, rubbish shops and ridiculously expensive. (However, the beaches and parks are nice). We don't see a return to the UK as an option and want to give Melbourne a go. We are coming out to have a look around in March to see what we think. We are looking for somewhere that just has a bit more soul and things going on.

 

Has anyone made the move before and found it to be better (I know this is completely subjective) and also what are the employment prospects? I am working as an RTO manager in Perth and from what I can see, there are plenty of similar jobs out there.

 

 

Any thoughts would be much appreciated.

We moved from Adelaide to Melbourne just over 2 years ago. I have never visited Perth but have been told it is very similar to Adelaide ( just as you described in your post), we never settled in Adelaide despite making really good friends and living right on the beautiful beach. It felt like we were old before our time....

We lived in Manchester in the UK so was used to things going on all the time, bars, restaurants, gigs, events, a mix of cultures etc etc. We visited Sydney once and Melbourne twice and just fell in love with Melbourne. Its a fantastic city and thoroughly deserves the title of most liveable city in the world.

Yes Melbourne has its pros and cons like anywhere but from what you have said I think it will tick the boxes. I will say this though the driving here is mental and I do miss the quiet Adelaide roads!!!

Good luck with your move.

Welcome to Melbourne! I love this city!

Hawthorn is a really nice place to live or even Kew.
