Guest Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 Hi Lou and Andrea I'm Jo (41), Stu (44) Hamish (9), Sam (8) and Leo (3) waiting for ENS 121 so hope to be out Jan 2010. We too are hoping to reside somewhere around Mullalloo (love it there!) we have a few friends in Perth but hardly any with kids sooooo would LOVE to meet others in the same boat with kids... Lou how did you manage to secure a letting so far in advance... have been looking on Realestate.com for rentals but everything is like available now... I'd love to secure a rental asap ready for us from Jan.... think we will stay with friends in Floreat for first couple of weeks whilst we look around... Have any of you managed to sell your house? we haven't had much luck... trying to go with the flow and resigned to renting. What about schools, have you made any firm decisions?

Guest Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 Hi Jo and Andrea, Good to hear from you both......I have rented a house for 8 weeks from www.holidaylettings.co.uk while our stuff is being shipped over and we look for a long term let. I wanted to livearound Mullaloo so just found a house and contacted the owner and asked if thet would do a deal for long term let and they said yes. As a result of that I was able to get the girls into Mullaloo Beach Primary school and they start there on the 19th April 2010. You are really lucky Jo having friends/family over there when we go we won't know anyone....well I suppose that's half the fun of it. We went over for a month last April to activate our visa's so had a chance to have a good look round. The kids are really excitied about going, we are renting out our family home but are lucky enough to own rentals so we are selling off one of them to fund our trip . The housing market in Eastboure(Sussex) is ok and house are selling.....well thats what they told me as it only went on the market yesterday as I have tentants in it. Keep me posted on how you are both getting a long it's really nice to hear from you..... Lou Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest burkecath Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 Hi Guys, I'm Catherine (32) moving tp Perth on 27th Jan2010, with hubby Matt (37) Louise (8) Katie (7). We've gone on a 176, OH (Matt) a joiner. We would love to meet and get to know people who are also in the same boat as us, we have a holiday let in Carramar and like you will secure a longer 12month let once there and can feel confident at what school the girls go to (we did visit last year - but mixed feelings now? if's and but's). We live at the mo in Swadlincote (debryshire) about 15mins from Derby. Realllllllllllllllllllly excited and nervous at the same time, and trying to think carefully about how and what best to organise first?! I'm on facebook "catherine burke" if you find it easier to link up? I loose these blinkin threads once I've looked at em (obviuosly i'm not using properly) Tips, conversation and ideas welcome :-):v_SPIN: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nats Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 Hi, Im Natalie(30) hubby is Chris(33) and we're hoping to be in Perth Jan 2010. I have a job offer at the Mount Hospital starting Feb ... just playing the waiting game! Sat the IELTS yesterday (was surprisingly difficult - fingers crossed) - hopefully I will have passed this then I can get my nursing reg from the NMBWA ... and then the visa can be processed! Im a bit concerned its looking less likely that we will be there in time for starting job in Feb. But met someone at the IELTS test centre yest and they seem to think its possible - so Im a bit happier with that. Can anyone offer advice on where to rent within easy commute of the Mount hospital and reasonably priced?? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest burkecath Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 Thanks for that! I didn't even give the holiday let reference a thought! Defo do that! Yeah, thats what we plan to do, check out what the porperty is like before we tie into it! My cousin plans on giving my OH some lessons, as he'll plan on taking that up (beginner/novice at golf) Is it the same golf club as Joondalup? think thats where he goes? No good to give advice for visa processes i'm afraid? all different legislations? We were granted our 176 on 22nd sept day before all the changes! FEW!!!!!!

Guest kyeandgem Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 Hi all, Kye 27, Gemma 25, Eva 18 months We are planning on moving in July/aug, we are currently waiting on our 175 visa which we applied for in June our agent has told us to expect it by end of Jan 2010 as the wife is on the CSL, but am doubtfull with all the info I read on POI. Not sure if anyone feels the same way but the more research I do the more I feel it sounds like the wrong time to be doing this what with the exchange rates, housing prices, I mean we are even going to miss out on the government housing grant. Ive been dreaming of moving to oz for a number of years now and we have finally got ourselves in a situation where it is possibe but it seems everything just goes against you.:arghh: guess its now or never though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biz Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 Hi, my husband and I are hopefully moving out to Perth in April 2010, I have been offered a job as an Anaesthetic Tech at the St John of God Hosptial in Subiaco, start in May. We are both very scared but very excited, medical done, house on the market and visa sent off to agency for processing. Just waiting now.

Its good to read about other people in the same situation as us Hi "Biz" thats gr8 you have a job offer - were starting from scratch! nervous and hope it isn't too long before he gets one! Good luck for the processing of your visa? and the house? We ended up dropping alot off the sale of our house - but to be honest, sounds foolish, but weighed up the pros/cons of what we wanted and didn't want the complications/tie of renting it out, more fortunate than some at least there was still a little equity to play with, not like some who are in negative! bless! GOOD LUCK :-) Catherine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got our visa's last week so just starting to look at areas to stay at the moment. Got friends in Tapping and they recommend there and Joondaloop and Carramar (they've offered to put us up but not sure how long it will take to get LT rental so might have to take a holiday let). I'm Michael (35) my wife is Dawn (35) and our kids Ross (7) and Ruaridh (7).
