cs259cr Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 Feel like I'm getting somewhere now - most packing done now, didn't realise I'm such a hoarder. Also I think Boots may go bust now I'm emigrating, the amount of toiletries I have got is ridiculous - found out you can only register for tax file number once you are in Australia, it looks very easy to do - flights are booked, going with Singapore as they r giving us 40kg each. If you are going with them book online. Our flight online was 625 then we rang up to book and were quoted 900 for the exact flight, then they said they could do it for 700, so booked online. - opened account with NAB, no deposit needed and only took a few minutes Do that's where I'm up to, how is everyone else getting on?

Guest jonnylane Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 New addition here: Jonathan and Jo (28 & 25). We're hoping to be moving out to Perth around April/May 2011. I've been offered a job and support for a 457 visa (initially). I'm a medical physicist and Jo is in legal marketing but hopes to move into primary teaching. We live in Cambridge, UK at the moment and would probably like to live somewhere near to my new place of work. It feels like we have far too many things to think about but we don't even have a house to sell or kids to worry about! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

linziloo2 Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Hi, I'm brand new to poms in oz so hope I'm doing this right! My husband (35- electronics engineer), kids (5 and 3) and I (30- occupational therapist) are just at the waiting-for-visa stage. We lodged in August 2010 on a 176. We were led to believe 15 months processing time so that takes us to Nov 2011 when hopefully we'll start getting on with medicals and police checks etc. I agree it's a scary thing and definitely an emotional roller coaster! I'm hoping to keep up with this forum thing and hopefully make networks for when we finally get to Perth! Enjoy your recci in April. We were over last March and loved it (and thats when we decided on Perth- most probably the Northern suburbs). Good luck x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest jmorris Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Cant believe how many of us are heading to Perth this year.our friends emigrated last year, they emailed me today saying that they had just been for a bike ride round swan river then spent an hr in the pool. Headed to the beach after lunch, then headed to fremantle for a night out. I read the email by the fire, cold with no where fun to go. I can't wait to go now. See you all there soon Xxxxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Nando65 Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 All went well on flight, all kids slept right through second leg as it was our night time and woke just in time for breakfast and landing. We however did not, so when the kids were raring to go we were very tired. A few days of jet lag and we are just about back to normal. Absolutely loving it up to now, although a little stressfull a times, the joys already outway the small stresses that come with moving anywhere. We are just in the process of exploring and deciding our final destination. We were tied between safety bay for the beach and settlers hill for the community feel. But Rockingham town itself with the lovely beach has now also been thrown in to the mix. Looking forward to meeting some new people. Zoe Hi Zoe Just saw your post and thought we would get in touch as we put a thread up to meet with new friends from Pomsinoz. We arrived last Thursday and living in Rockingham, temporary accommodation. Wondered if you and the family would like to meet up some time, beach, or barbie, even a drink if you fancy it.

We plan to leave for Perth as soon as the house is sold.

Phil & Vikki Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 We were going to go to Perth first of all as that is where we know and had been before a number of times and loved it. However, we found that there were not many jobs advertised there and found that the likes of Sydney offered the jobs we were looking for. It is a shame as we will not be able to go to Freo and have fish and chips as often as we wanted and then watch the sun go down, but wish you all the best and hope that it turns out well.
