One last thing is there ever any staff around at perth to help with luggage as going to have a lot and wil be dificult to manage with the little ones prob clinging to my legs by this point? Helen x

    Hi I am flying with Emirates to Perth in less than 2 weeks - how scary does that sound, still so much to do!!!!! I am flying with a 6 and a 4 year old on my own and just wondered what tips you had and what to pack in the suitcase and what to pack in the carry on?? Any essentials needed for the flight? Any top tips for entertaining the children? Any tips for the dubai changeover? Any tips would be appreciated. Going to rush off and do something as running out of time - arhhhhh!! Helen

    Hi Emily Thanks for the tip about jumpers and cardis - ive been imagining it being so hot the cases are packed with really summery things! Best have a little rethink i guess. space is at a real premium here especially as will have to manage luggage and children without hubby so trying not to take too much. Which is easier said than done once you start! Thankfully my and the children can't bear marmite - foul stuff - so not wasting any valuable case space on that! Fingers crossed for the plane journey - lots of good films for the little ones then? Well best be off as i still seem to have a list as long as my arm to do and its now the easter holidays too, so have 2 little helpers (not)! Would love to catch up when we get there, send me a pm with your details. Helen x

    Hi I am heading out in 2 weeks with children who are 6 and 4 - is that any good?? We are also looking NOR, my OH is out there ahead of us looking for somewhere to live. Would be good to have someone to meet up with as husband will be at work and not sure when I will get the youngest into Kindy ( i am confused with the starting dates). How are you getting on, any tips before I leave? Helen

    Hi Moving out in 2 weeks and have a place in year one for my 6 year old in school but am still confused as to when my 4 year old will start, his birthday is december if that helps anyone? Also if he does go to Kindy is it half days, two days etc? Are there any groups around to take my 4 year old too as we will miss our friends here and this would be a good way to meet people for all of us? We will be in the quinns rocks area (hopefully - husband is out there trying to find a house as we speak!). Finally daughter does ballet here just basic stuff are there any ballet classes or brownies around too. Thanks

    Hi I need some help please - other half has job lined up in Woodvale, so we are now trying to find a nice suburb with a really good primary school for our children 4 and 6. Schools are really important to us and we don't want to move them around lots so any advice would be really appreciated. Only so much research you can do online, really need advice from people over there! Thanks Helen x

    Hi just wondering if anyone can help me? Things are starting to get real now and suddenly wondered if the children, or indeed us adults, need any extra vaccinations/immunisations to emigrate to Australia??? Thanks Helen

    Oh this sounds so familiar - my OH and I are having this debate right now! He doesn't seem to understand why I want to keep all their first pictures etc in their treasure boxes. I have decided most of it will have to come with us, I'd rather get rid of other stuff that I could buy again than these irreplaceable things! OH rolls eyes LOL! I may have to conceed that he can throw away their birthday cards as I have kept all they have ever had!:wink: Helen

    Hi So I rang the Manchester clinic today to get an idea of costs and timelines and they told me they had appts available from the 9th Sept- excellent so no need to panic. Once I got off the phone, realised that we are down in Chester that weekend to go to the zoo and ie not that far from Manchester! So I was all prepared to wait for case officer to request meds/pcc before I did anything, but now I am thinking I am going to just book it as we are almost there and saves making two trips with the children. Advise please - it shouldn't be a problem to get them done before they are requested(other than that is the date visa is valid from) or is there something I am missing???? Also if I am getting the meds done do I also get the pcc done too now? Thanks for you suggestions folks Helen:confused:

    Hi Guys - so good to read this post and realise that we are not crazy, or at least not the only crazy ones!!! We are in a very similar situation, me, OH and two children (5 and 3), never been and have no family or friends there! For us it was now or never and we didn't want to look back and think we never even tried. Helen

    <p>Hi just wondering if you had heard about your wa ss yet? I know you applied a few days before us so I am curious! Let me know thanks Helen</p>

    Hi everyone - hadn't checked the site in a while and so pleased to see so many others heading out to Perth too. OH is the main applicant and he has had his skills assessed, passed his IELTS (phew) and we have now applied for WA SS - these seem to be coming fast now so we are keeping our fingers crossed. Then we intend to apply for 176 asap! 176 for us as we are keen to get going- mainly as have 2 children 5 and 3 and feel the younger they are the easier it should be (or that is the idea)! I am a bit panicy though as when you think about it there is so much to do! In a mixed state today as had some negative comments from MIL this morning!:arghh: Helen
