Hi just wondering if you’d managed to find any more info on this subject? i moved to Perth 3 years ago on PR but left some stuff at my parents in UK as I didn’t know what my permanent circumstances would be. I now have a few old bits of memorabilia - cds, DVD’s, photos etc, plus a bike and electronic drum kit that I wanted to ship now that I have a place to store them. The drum kit was purchased about 8 years ago in the UK for £3k. If there is a time limit for claiming as personal effects and assuming I’m well past that limit, how would they calculate the tax due? I wonder/hope they’d depreciate it and then calculate. DoHA are pretty inconclusive and just say it will be assessed on its own merit. Any advice greatly appreciated Thanks. Matt

Thanks guys, appreciate the comments. Re the work situation, when I first arrived there appeared to be loads showing on seek etc but it seems like that has changed massively. I'm on a skilled migrant visa but was hoping to take a bit of a side step... but now willing to do pretty much anything!! If I don't get anything soon, I guess I'll just have to watch every single Euro game!! Thanks again for your responses. Matt

Hi All, I'm relatively new to both Perth and the forum. Moved here in Feb and before I get a job (desperately trying but prospects not as good as had hoped) I'd like to enjoy the European Championships 10th June - 10th July. Does anyone know where the best places to watch the games will be, particularly the England matches? I'm thinking the casino may be the best (and possibly only) place to watch the games that will play at 2am WA time. I enjoy the uk tv footage and have a reasonable set up at home to watch the matches but wondered if there might be somewhere to watch with other football/soccer/England fans for the atmosphere? Appreciate any thoughts. Many thanks Matt
