Thanks Flag of Convenience. Yes, the job offer seems to good to pass by, that's why we're so confused. We're happy and settled in Cairns (apart from the heat) and didn't go looking for this job, just had a call out of the blue from an old work colleague and the rest is history.

Thanks Bungo. I wasn't even considering moving to Perth, but I got offered a job out of the blue and now I'm rather confused!

Thanks for the advice, much appreciated. Yer, thinking that I might have to increase my drive to the airport.

Thanks so much for your advice and the information you've given me. Wow, those food prices are alot cheaper than Cairns! I guess we're just settled here with a nice house & I'm worried that I'll have a great job but my personal life may suffer. My husband is a renovator, he buys houses renovates them & then places them back on the market, do you feel that he would be able to do that in Perth? Thanks again.

Hi Christian, We're new to the forum and would love some advise if you can help! My husband and I are originally from the UK and have lived in Cairns, QLD for 7 years. I work in the aviation industry and have been offered a really great job in Perth. My husband is happy to move, he works for himself & just wants me to be happy in my job too (which I've never really been in Cairns). My concern is that all I've heard is that Perth is very expensive & the fact that we visited Perth 7 years ago for a week and didn't like it, doesn't really inspired me. I'm so confused, do I go for the Job and maybe risk loosing a relaxed lifestyle that I have in Cairns or do we stay in Cairns with no career prospects??? I've read that Perth is 'righting' itself with regards to the cost of things, is that true? Are there nice suburbs within 30mins to the airport that are close to the beach? Any information would be gratefully received, Thanks
