Hi Jay!
We did a reccie in February this year in Perth and we absolutely loved it! We were really impressed with the cleanliness of the place, the realxed feel, the lifestyle, the city itself and the beaches. We stayed with friends in an area called Bentley which was close to the city but still quiet with nearby parks as well as hiring a camper van and travelling north.
We really liked Quinn's Rock, Yanchep and Fremantle as well as Perth it's self but it really depends on what you're after and jobs etc as you've already mentioned.
We also visited some friends who lived right in the city centre as well as friends who lived out in the Swan Valley - so got to see fairly different lifestyles.
You'll see LJ Hooker Estate Agents everywhere and it'll give you an idea what's out there.
We're just in the process on having our skills assessed but hope that this time next year we'll be on our way to sunny Perth.
I hope you have an amazing time in April - let us know how you get on and what you find out!
Nikki :jiggy:
