Guest J.and.K Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 Hi there, I have a job offer in Balcatta but we're not sure where we're gonna live yet. We do like the look of the northern beach areas. At the moment we're in the process of getting a short term rental, we've looked at a few from Wanneroo to Quinns Rocks even Mandurah! Big place! Any suggestions on areas? anyone?:unsure: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest David1805 Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 Hi My job offer is in Subiaco at the King Edward Memorial Hospital. We are not sure where to live yet as in North or South of the river. I would like a house with a pool so am happy to live in a land a bit. We will try and rent for the first 6 months t just to get an idea of the areas. I think public transport is quite good. Hope it all goes well for you. David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any suggestions on areas? anyone?:unsure: We live in Mandurah and love it. Been here 3 months now. However, if your job is in Balcatta, then Mandurah is probably not the place to be, unless you don't mind travelling lots. You're probably looking at at least an hour plus each way.:no: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're not in a hurry to buy, but it is nice to own your own house.. Good luck to you all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest The Ropey HOFF Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 Hi, we visited Perth for a month in january 2006. it is simply a fantastic place, modern, spacious and breathtakingly beautiful, the views from Kings park over looking the Swan river will live with me forever. it is hard to comprehend what life is like out there compared to the UK. I feel even the areas less affluent are probably as good to live in as anywhere in the UK. Perth isn't like Sydney, once out of the city it is like huge areas of housing estates and small communities. We stayed near Rockingham which to me was perfect, but a city by status, leave it out, it was tiny. it is nothing like the UK. Helen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharron pickett Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 Yep, we are heading down under too, August 7th, very nervous, but looking forward to the slower life style as currently living in the USA. We are from London and Essex. We have 2 boys, so schools and area a big thing for us, its very hard knowing if you are doing the right thing, but only way to find out is by going. Never been there either and don't know anyone there, so its going to be tough at first. But this site really is a great place to start. Good luck, and if you can offer any advice to us, we would be very grateful Sharron Steve and Boys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest John & Lorna Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 Hi, we live in Skipton and as soon as our house sells we are moving to Oz we visited Melbourne in May and are not sure that is the place for us.

We are considering Perth or Brisbane. What made you choose Perth ? we are a bit undecided at the moment? Hi there, well i said Perth because it's nearer but my mate said "Nearer? Nearer to where?!"..... So i suppose it doesn't really matter where you go in australia, i mean if you prefer Brisbane then what difference does a few more hours make? Reasons we chose Perth, 1. It is not as far! 2. &Mums going to visit every 6 months 3. Employment in perth is good for us 4. What a nice place So for us it makes sense......................................Good luck deciding J&K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karlewi Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 Hi J & K We are also off to live the dream in Perth , we leave in November to start our new life. We hope to live in the Northern suburbs somewhere between Mullaloo and Mindarie. Having been there several times before we are really looking foward to the better lifestyle. Whilst we are very anxious about making such a huge step and our emotions are all over the place - hopefully this time next year we will be beginning to settle in and all this dreadful feeling will be behind us. If you want to catch up further, please do not hestiate to PM us. Good luck with your move Karen, Mick and Lewis xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
