Guest Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 Ah, I'd love a white Christmas! I went to visit a friend today and I'd say she must have the last bit of snow in her front garden . It used to be a snowman. Very sad looking now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest murph33 Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 Hi everyone, I am also new to this forum. We are planning to move from Carlow to Melbourne mid 2011. OH also has employer sponsership visa pending. We are looking at Mornington as this would be near his work. Would love any information on primary school and school fees there as we have an 8 and 5 yr old. Do the fees vary depending on the visa. Also does anyone know would his sponsership visa allow me to work. Marie:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marie:confused: Hi Marie, we are moving to Melbourne hopefully next year on a 457 visa as well, You are entitled to work as well as part of your O/H 457, as regards schools as far as i can make out if your kids are going to state schools it's pretty much the same as here you'll have to pay for some books, their uniforms, after school activities, and a subsidy per child , just do a google search on "school fees for Victoria". Hope this helps. Noel & Becky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moved to cat 2. I have to say we are very impressed with the effeciency of the CO and system in general.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest macfamily Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 Hey there great to see an Irish thread at last! Just thought I'd throw my twopence in and introduce myself.....we're a family of 5 and moved to Perth last March. People have been telling us we were lucky to get out when we did and it's really making it very real reading these threads. Won't say anymore but those bankers and politicians need a good boot where the sun don't shine! We used Pickfords to move our stuff and found them competitive and very good. We only took half a container as we were renting out our house and had to leave it furnished (who can sell at the moment!). To replace furniture/electricals can be expensive here and you really need to shop around but in the meantime you can do the round of garage sales and buy from the "gum tree" forum which is a bit like the buy and sell at home so I wouldn't worry too much about taking absolutely everything if you need to rent out your house - it may be cheaper to get a smaller container and just take the essentials! It's so good not to hear the word "recession" for the past 9 months! Plenty of work here and also plenty of sunshine - Perth is beautiful with lots of fab beaches. Kids defo having a better lifestyle and actually like going to school! Be glad to answer any questions if anybody wants info on Perth. Don't give up.....it's well worth the wait.......
