Hi Tracey Although not in exactly the same situation as you - we are moving to Perth next month and will be around the Safety Bay area if you fancy a coffee :-) (Est & Rich plus 2 aged 4 and 1)

Hi Guys Just wanted to say Happy New Year to everyone :-) Any news on arrivals? We are counting down the weeks now cant wait for 27th Feb to come round. Est

We are flying to Perth on the 27th Feb (we have a son aged 4 and daughter aged 1). We are in the process of getting rid of all our belongings we aren't taking (not shipping anything just taking what will fit in our luggage). We have not had an ounce of panic or stress with the whole process which only started in April 2011 when we decided to apply for 176. We are so excited about the move and although it is sad leaving family and friends behinds this isn't having much affect on our plans. just can't wait for the next 7 weeks to go by :-) Will be in Safety Bay initially and hoping to get a rental in Rockingham/ Safety Bay asap Est

Hi Guys I know this question will have been asked loads before but... We are arriving in Perth at the end of next month and have a 3 week holiday let in Safety Bay organised. We will be looking to secure a longer term let as soon as possible in the Rockingham or safety Bay areas but could do with some advice on which areas, roads etc are best. We are a family with to very younger children (4 and 1) and ideally with a good Kindergarden and the beach within walking distance any advice gratefully received Est

Hi guys Finally moved over to the PerthPoms forum. I have no idea who is where now as I've not been around for a while. Hope everyone who has arrived is loving it and all is well. Hope everyone else is well on their way with plans. We are much the same - got a leaving do to arrange in Feb and we have already booked flights to Adelaide, 3 weeks after we arrive, to go and visit my Sister-in-Law and family who have now been in OZ 4 weeks and by the sounds loving every minute. Est xx

Hi Whinging Pom, We are just at the start of applying for WA SS based on my husbands trade as a Metal Machinist. He also completed a 4 year formal apprenticeship together with a BTEC and HNC in Mechanical Engineering. If I could pick you brains for a minute could I ask if you used an agent or went alone in your applications ? We have just completed the TRA assessment request and based it on Pathway A as he has done the formal apprenticeship - is this what you did? Congratulations on your visa and wish you a fantastic move to WA - v jealous we have just come back from 3 months travelling in Oz and are convinced WA is the place to be :-)
