    No sorry I'm calling BS British people do not move to be in a community of British people that simple is not true.

    Perth is nothing like Benidorm those comments are pretty ridiculous, I have been in Perth for 10 years now and love it. Enjoy your recce.

    No just get one place, Perth is small and easy too get around outside of the rush hour somewhere just North or South of the river would be a good base.

    Lights should be on all the time all year round to many dick head drivers around!

    Hated going to work when it's dark and coming home in the dark it's like you lose 6 months of your life each year!

    Nights will be drawing in now hated the UK short days just depressing!

    Secret Harbour is a decent family orientated suburb and would be a nice place to bring up kids, just a little to far out for your type of work, although plenty do live there and commute to the CBD. I think SOR is nicer but that is just my opinion, I know people who have settled NOR initially the moved SOR and vice versa. SOR has the nicer safe beaches for sure. Get a holiday rental somewhere fairly central initially and just drive around looking at places.

    Jeez if your setting yourself up to fail before you even get here why bother? Just stay put! If you must plan for it then less the visa process costs, the flights and container shipping are probably going to around a similar amount.

    Ball Bay looks stuuning bob, we are on track finacially to retire at 65 and want to do the grey nomad thing for 2-3 years after that i'd be quite happy to sit on those rocks with you fishing!

    Not just in Australia same happens in the UK and the rest of Europe. Not so in Asia though fortunately.

    Have to agree wife and I both work full time, have 3 (always) hungry kids and manage to cook a a decent meal each evening from fresh produce never ever understood the need for salt ridden ready meals. They have been in the UK for years now and are unfortunately catching on here not to bad in Perth but from what I'm reading on this thread seems to be just as bad as the UK in Melbs and Sydney.

    Well if the ACT's is officially the best it must be bloody good Perths bus service (and train for that matter) is fantastic then again I'm comparing it to the shoddy mess of public transport system in the UK which for want of a better word is pretty crap all round!!

    I've been told the beef is of a better quality as the majority of Australian cattle is grass fed as opposed to grain fed in the UK.

    Great post all rings true, have to disagree about the meat though I find it far superior here (WA) to the UK. One thing you forgot to mention is the average Australians inability to return a shopping trolley to it's rightful place even if it is just 10 metres away, I really don't get this and it annoys the hell out of me seeing them left everywhere! As already mentioned get your chocolate from Aldi.

    Same in Perth, I don't get a bus often but have been pleasantly surprised when I have.

    Perth weather has been crap this week I've needed the AC on driving to work at 6am horrible sticky humid, thankfully its easing a lovely weekend ahead.

    Cottesloe why? Waikiki/Warnbro beachs are much nicer!
  22. Sandgroper

    Not been a great summer so far in Perth, nice but not balmy, lots of high 20's day.............lovely weekend coming up though proper summer beach weather.

    As a family of 4 you will be paying around $5-600 a month if you go for full cover, tbh save your money use the public system and save the money into a savings account.

    Hard pressed to beat 2012? It pished down all summer shocking weather eased off a little for the olympics and a great legacy that left partitipation sport has never been lower in the uk!
