chiara Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 I posted this on another thread, but if you're curious about the rental situation, read this, it tells it how it is in all its grizzly detail - and just to add, Hilary's would be up in the 700's surely? http://www.chroniclesofatrailingspouse.com/2012/07/house-renting-nightmares-and-postal.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shellybr Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 Depends you can get houses from $420 up to $1000+ a week. Depends what you look for. If you don't mind living in the older side of Hillarys were Mawson Park, Mall, Coles and the school is then you can get a reasonable rental if you want a brand new down by the beach you will pay a bit more. You probably won't get a pool but eh the beach is 2 mins down the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are likely to be more helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest sineadb01 Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 I'm new to this and it all seems very daunting :twitcy: In application process so still quite some way to go, hoping to move to Perth next summer, (me 38, hubby 38 and twin boys 5) my niece and her fiance are moving also ( both fully qualified architects with masters - he is already there since June and she is following with their 3 yr old daughter in september) so atleast we will have some support when we get there.. Rob (my hubby) is building surveyor but does mostly litigations and project management, seems to be plenty of work out there for that line of things.. We have 5 year old twin boys so I'm going to start doing some research on schools and good areas to live etc.. Any advice greatly welcome.. Good luck to everyone :biggrin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest koalabear Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 Hi All, Jus trying to establish are there many Irish people here heading for Perth. Thought is would be a good idea to get a thread going for us all. We are a family of 3 hoping to hit Perth late 2011 or Jan 2012. (Age 30/Age 29/Daughter Age 4) Was wondering if there are many others from Ireland in the same boat and was wondering if there is enough of us to arrange a big group meet up somewhere over the next while. Anyway include your details and chat soon. Cheers:biggrin: Hi, ya i am hoping to get to perth in the new year, my partner is there since july, he needs to get sponsored so that me and our daughter can follow over, so realistically im thinking it could be march/april before we get to go over. (age 27/age 26/ age 2) he has a job now and has been made permenent but now he needs to wait for his trade recognition course and for the sponsorship process which i have no idea how long it takes...

Anyway include your details and chat soon. Cheers:biggrin: Very many Irish where I live. Next door neighbours are from Donegal. Two houses behind me are Irish, a bloke house sitting the "other side" next door is Irish. I live in the Inner City and last year we had for the first time the Irish Festival for St Patricks Day, which consisted of a parade followed by a day of entertainment and sport at the local oval. Bob Goldorf gave a speech.I hear Irish accents all the time around here. There is an Irish pub down the road and another ten or so minutes walk away. I can't speak for other areas by there are certainly a lot of Irish in this area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meadette Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Hello, we are on the verge of taking the plunge and applying for our visa. My husband is a stone mason and we have two children 9 & 5, i am 37 he is 42 and was looking for some feedback from families who have moved. How are you finding it is the cost of living manageable. Would really appreciate some information on how you all settled in. We are looking a Perth but the Visa process is very expensive so I do have some fears... better the devil you know and all that... would love to hear from some of you...
