Chardy Posted July 31, 2011 Author Share Posted July 31, 2011 Might have to join you on the beer front. been to a party today! sounds exciting, but the only parties I seem to go to these days have jelly and ice cream:biggrin:we're off to perth too. any ideas where in perth you will go? cheers jack Yep, we do a lot of those parties too :eek: Perth bound too eventually but not a clue where yet, depends on work I guess - don't want too long a commute to wherever I need to go to :nah: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mdeejacks Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 We had a lovely pub lunch by the river despite our 2 year old being very poorly:sad:, can't beat a cold beer on a warm day. A lovely breeze too just to take the heat down :biggrin: that's really funny we are the same. we get over 20 degrees and we start to struggle. should we really be thinking about perth:wacko: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know there a lot of construction work going on in Yanchep, so like Chardy said it depends on where I get a job, my OH will be working in city so we want good access to a train station, decent school etc... Have you decided yet where to go? John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jessiewessie Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 No one else so far or is it because the E-visa is down ?? Hi All, New to the board. My oh occupation same as your's. We lodged 176 visa through an agent on 24th June. Heard nothing as yet. Payment has been taken tho. Waiting for 1100 to be sent from WA and then get the validation of visa application. Hopefully hear sometime soon. Fingers xxx. Jessiewessie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All in the same boat aren't we. That's what we have been warned by our agent. Waiting game. I hope next week brings good news. Did you book your meds before before allocated a CO. Not sure what to do. Jessiewessie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope next week brings good news. Did you book your meds before before allocated a CO. Not sure what to do. Jessiewessie Hi No, we booked as soon as a CO was allocated. We thought it was going to be at least 12 month before we heard anything but visa's have been popping out all over the place, which is a good thing dont get me wrong. Definitly a waiting game. It really is taking over our lives. We havnt told the family yet lol. From the blogs on our "176 June gang" the meds are taking about 1-2 weeks to even get an appointment. Wouldnt recomend Birmingham but that is our option, maybe not someone else's. Hope this helps :-) Feel free to ask anything sarah:chatterbox: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers jack Hi Its worth looking at B & B's in Perth. The one we stayed in is http://www.seatrees-bb.com I personally think it beats rentals while your container arrives. It gives you a little rest before all the work starts. Its like living in your own rental with a pool but with no bills or deposits and the luxury of a Large house as most of the B&B's are set in acres of bushland, annex with a pool. So the house has to be large to accommodate. Have a look and let me know what you think. If you do enquire, mention our names (Sarah & John). there are a few others that we have looked at so if you want more info please let me know.

Yanchep just down the road where loads of new houses being built. It's about 20 mins to Joondalup shopping centre...beach 5 mins away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
