  1. Don't bother mate, phones are cheap enough here Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  2. Sounds about right on those wages :-) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  3. Oh and you don't get charged stamp duty if its below a certain purchase price :-) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  4. We are building in Baldivis now on 572sq.m. The total cost of land and build is $460k for a 4x2. If you are borrowing more than 90% then interest only may not be available depending on the lender. Amy questions just ask ! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  5. 7 Weeks in and no regrets other than leaving family and friends. Finished work yesterday and went straight to the beach with some fellow poms, that is what i call living!
  6. Don't worry we had three brand new flat packed beds, a dining table and 10 chairs all new and unopened and were not questioned or charged anything. My advice is if you have space pack as much as you can to avoid buying at higher prices here.
  7. We got ours through NAB (it was just easier at the time) and they could see our UK NCD online, the insurance databases seem to be linked.
  8. It's not just what they pay AQIS, it also the time it takes for them to collect the container, unpack it into their storage and deliver to your door and put things into rooms of your choice........for us $440. We used Schepens (who use John Mason). We got all our boxes but some bedding is missing ???
  9. After a big 6 weeks, I love it all....................when I find something I don't like I'll let you all know !

    Boxing Day

    Looks like it's going to be another 34c day here around Mandurah, WA so a trip to the beach at Rockingham I think for the kids to try out their new body boards !

    Sharks!

    Sharks don't like pale skin and red hair, you'll be right !

    Sharks!

    Latest research suggests safe distance from shore max 30m and max 5 metres depth, the $900k budget to try bubble curtains and strobe lighting sounds good. Not put off ocean swims, love the waves !
  13. Insurance is about the same as the UK so buy something small and you will pay a transfer charge and stamp duty (you get a bill a few weeks after buying).
  14. Anyone recommend a reasonable priced car hire company that will actually let you take the car from the airport rather than being transferred to their depot ??
  15. Thanks for that, now I feel REALLY old !! My first I think was Billy Joel's "Storm Front"
  16. Most companies will store but they take it back to their depot and put it in large wooden crates as the containers are leased as needed. There some cheaper self storage places that have containers in a yard though.
  17. Quite right Morena, I stand corrected, it does depend on your occupation :wink:
  18. I reckon: 1. Skills assessment through apporived body 2. Complete and send EOI 3. await invite 4. Complete IELTS 5. Submit application 6. Medicals and police check when the case officer requests them 7. WAIT !!!

    I've just signed up for scanmypost.co.uk so my UK relatives don't have to deal with our post !
  20. We did all our outside stuff and tools with it but certainly wouldn't use it on inside stuff ! We did about 2 capfuls to 5 litres.
  21. We (me the wife and 3 kids under 10) are heading out to no jobs - all part of the big adventure !
  22. Sorry to hear it's not the "dream" life you expected but to tell everyone else not to come is a bit OTT ! Let us make our own minds up when we arrive...................you make your own luck and we all make mistakes, for it is some moving countries !
  23. Great site link VERYSTORMY, found myself a job but in the wrong state.................dammit ! :wacko:
  24. <p><p>A bit late I know but Happy New Year to you and Dave. Hope things pan out this year for you both, I'll try to help you if I can when we finally arrive in Perth later in the year. Justin x</p></p>
