woody123 Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Hey Jules, when it gets closer to the time perhaps book your medicals for 2nd half of April so at least you can get a slot and hopefully your new baby should have arrived! You could get police checks done now and have them sent to CO. I hope all goes well and I am sure if you just keep your CO updated they should be ok. Lucky we aren't elephants! xx Hi Lucy, Yes lucky we aren't elephants, its hard enough remembering everything anyway but having baby brain aswell, it's a nightmare! I've called and spoken to the clinic we are going to use already and they have said to call back early March to get booked in for April, so hopefully should be ok. I start maternity leave at the end of Feb so I should be a little calmer in March and have more time to deal with stuff....unless the baby arrives early!

Hi Sarah yes i quite understand that lol how are you feeling nervous or really excited , both im sure have you sorted out jobs yet !!! susan xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarab Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 We will both be officially jobless after next Wednesday for the first time in our lives. We have been looking in Perth but the general response is "get in touch when you arrive". A few weeks off to relax, explore & enjoy Perth is our plan. We have house-sits organised until July (a few gaps inbetween where we need to pay to stay somewhere) takes the pressure off though. I'm definitely excited just dreading saying goodbye to friends & family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewaltons Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 hi gang just wanting to know who you chose for your shipping and what a rough cost is starting to look now as we fly on the 28th of june and need to send it middle of may ish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucysdream Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Hi all, well it will be ten weeks on Saturday until we go on our one way flights. We are just waiting for our import approval for my OH's car so we can start the shipping process. Not sure what personal belongings we will take but I still need to sort through the house. As little as possible really. I sent our passports off Monday for the visa labels to be put in as I thought was a good idea, I got a post office card today as we were at work so that should be them ready to collect tomorrow. Leaving party is all booked for 1 week before we go. I too have never been unemployed and for years now I have worked full time and part time behind the bar, as well as going to college part time. I am looking forward to unemployment in truth...who would have thought :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bensdad Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Well we've been here 3 months on Tuesday next week. We love it best thing we ever did. Be prepared to wait up to six weeks for work. They do drag stuff like this out over here! Good luck on all of you starting out on your voyage. Any questions feel free to message me I will try to answer them.

SineadFoley Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 hi gang just wanting to know who you chose for your shipping and what a rough cost is starting to look now as we fly on the 28th of june and need to send it middle of may ish Hiya we are flying out on the 1st of June, had a look at crown, ace, ras etc for removals - found some of them v expensive! Are going with ACE came in at 3300 for 700 cb ft full pack and unpack only extra is $400 for customs on the other side (in Perth) Crown came in well over that amount as did the others. Have heard good reports about ace on here the odd one saying they were a bit late but everything arrived in same condition it was packed in, which in my opinion is the main thing!

tdk43 Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Our packers are in at the moment, and we fly out on Friday. We have Crown shipping our stuff, so hopefully all arrives ok. Looking forward to experience everything for ourselves. X Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chardy Posted February 28, 2012 Author Share Posted February 28, 2012 Cheers. A family whose kids go to the same school as ours just had their stuff packed by John Mason. I think it was just under £3k for a 20ft container. Looked well packed going by the photos ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdk43 Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 Hi everyone, just wanted to let you know my first impressions of Perth and how we are getting on. We arrived last Saturday, and we're picked up by the car hire company. They had a really large Mercedes car thing, with tons of space for luggage. Our hire car was in the garage of the short term rented house. My first impressions, was that the suburbs north of river in Perth were a lot larger than I had imagined. Over the first few days we met up with friends and drove around getting our bearings. On Tuesday we registered at Medicare, and husband met up for a job interview. Got some food shopping, and looked around Joondalup. There seems loads and loads of shops, supermarkets are fine. We have bought a new car on Thursday, collect it from the dealer next week. Everyone seems friendly in and around the place. Have not looked into a job for me yet, will do it next week. Need to also sort out a school for my daughter too. Went to Hilary's marina, it's very pretty, and you'd think you were on holiday. Money doesn't last too long when using British pounds. Lunch for 2 adults and one child $50 dollars, but once we get wages in dollars am sure it will all be good. X Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
