fifi69 Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Welcome to the madness that is PIO. Cant help with visa or carpentry questions but might be able to help with questions re Perth. Are you planning to do a recce first or just jumping straight in ?? Have you looked at any areas yet? What are you looking for out of the move?? Anyway good luck with the visa process. Perth is a lovely place to live. Fi x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daughterK Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Hello! I would advise you have a look at Fremantle too. It is smaller, friendlier and on the outskirts it is cheaper than Perth, and it isn't far way from the city by direct train or road. More of a community than other suburbs and more of a european feel. You can get great bread and home staples that you will be used to in The Netherlands. My husband is Dutch. In most of Australia a Bakery is nothing like what you will be used to! Nor will the cheese section be :-) In fremantle you can find these things more easily. I think it may be a softer landing for you there. Good Luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone carrying out a trade are "tradies" I am sure you are getting the picture now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
