Welcome Richie! Whereabouts are you living? Have you also joined Perth poms?

Obviously not then so ill go with my opinion with that they are fine, serviced by bus and rail links direct to the door, clean bright, well maintained, food court, play areas, baby changing, cafes restaurants and bars attached, smack in the centre with all other facilities.

Unlikely ill be doing that so if you could enlighten me?

Very well said!

Can people tell me why they think shopping centres are so bad? And how they are different to some uk ones? The design quality of shops? What?

Don't know if you fancy renal dialysis my wife works for Diaverum and they sponsor.

Fraser Island would definitely be at number 1 for me!

Great post, nice and positive we have been here getting on for 8 months and have settled just fine too, I wish we was paying your rent! Is it just the two of you?

Hi, i would at least contact to see, we did as only came over in October so no visa label as passport electronically linked to visa, would save you carrying paper around when coming and going!

Hi, we did it ourselves but was straight forward. have heard good things about Go Matilda and immigration to oz I think agency's fees alone are £1000-1500

Hi, I thought about $70 before we came out i think thats a bit cheap i think thats the minimum we looked round recently cheapest was $70 another $89 when we got here and lived closer to the city neighbours were paying $100 we have one in Kindy $82 and 18month old $79 If you have PR visa you get help there is an allowance not sure what is though think its quite a bit.

Hi you are with JM aren't you? They must of sent you info on what vessel it was when they took container and all confirmed. Anyway ours was MSC EVA so I just google that and you get shipping and vessel tracker sites come up. Incidentally we have been informed today container is here and due to be delivered 26th nov now not 4th dec happy days!!!!!!

Yes it's the same here think they make there own prices up-each company I know people have paid less

That's great thanks just thought it was set by govt. so they should all be charging the same.

Bump!!

Good site all makes a lot of sense and accurate!

Hi we have used John masons to ship our stuff their partner over here is wridgeways, from the quote i think they were going to charge approx $480 for aqis inspection which is ok not sure if I was told about plus Gst which is obviously payable but how come they are charging for this before it's happened and how do they know it's going to be that much? I was under the impression aqis charged per half hr Can't remember the fees now but say they were $125 per half hr and it took 1hr that's only 250 1 half hrs 375 anyway back to the point why am I paying before when they don't know for sure how long it will be? Or is it a set fee? We have sole use 20ft container.

I'd say that was about right, ours has just gone similar cu ft bit les though for 3,590 customs fees is approx but is right.

It is what it is and you don't really have a choice we are going in a few weeks about to transfer now yes I'd love it to be 1.9 2.20 or 2.50 but it isnt 1.52 now is better than 1.46 can't control what it is, like I say it is what it is at the time no regrets.

Hi, We are flying same day singapore airlines 18.30 from Heathrow, what flight you on? Have a look at Perth funished rentals thats who we have gone with- very good so far. I guess you have looked at the usual stayz and ozhouserental, there is also accomodation pages on aussie move. Good luck!

Brilliant! Positivity about Perth can't wait to get there in 8 weeks!

Anyone?

I know I'm being inpatient just want it wrapped up!

Bump!
