We’ve just moved to Perth from Nothampton UK...currently in quarantine in the city! Looking at canning vale as an area to move to! What’s it like? We also have 2 kids 7 and 4...and love a drink! Apart from family here we have no friends which is going to be really hard as we had a great group of friends and a really busy social life in the UK! 

Hi reboz we are flying over soon....what are the quarantine facilities like? I'm so nervous with 2 kids.

We will also be south of the river at least for a while!

Due to move in July...the idea was to let the kids finish their school year.  I have a job in Oz to start 1st Aug.  Sold our U.K. home and currently in rental.  Partner resigned and will likely be on furlough for rest of notice period until end of June.  I’m a key worker so still working.  2 removal firms we got quote from now closed, the third has upped their quote by nearly £1000!!  We need to book flights that tie in with removals.  As it currently stands will have to do 2w quarantine on arrival in Melbourne then another 2w in Hobart (we are migrating to tas).  Currently thinking we will need to leave end of June to make my job start deadline but it’s really scary with 2 kids as well not knowing what the situation will be when we get there.  If they relax quarantine where do we stay if hotels all closed?  Airbnb’s shut so can only get a proper rental so how do we managed in an unfurnished apartment for weeks until our stuff arrives if shops are shut??

no point staying in U.K. now house sold and jobs resigned.......

You are probably paying for storage as there is a backlog at the ports...We just found out we need to pay 2 weeks storage... 

We were due to leave end of April but are hoping end of August now. It's so worrying with no direct flights, quarantine and kids!
