Now I see why I can't find anything affordable in Zone 1!!! Lol!!!

Thank you all for the replies, very eye opening! I thought was a bit strange, houses are so cheap!!! Scot seen that the primary school isn't great so that's a no go for me! My son is 9 and one of our priorities is get a good PS! I've been looking around but everything near where my husband works (North Perth) is bloody expensive! I think he will have to review his commuting!!! I don't want to leave my home with 3 kids to be squeezed into a small old house just because is central! Arghhhh!!! Decisions decisions!!!!!

Hi guys, hubby is in Perth already and searching for rental accommodation for us when I get there with the kids. Still some time until we arrive in August but I want to get settled somewhere with a good primary school. His work is in North Perth and even though I love SOR it would be too far so we decided to stay north while renting, the suburbs I like are Wembley, Innaloo, Joondanna, Yokine and Bayswater as they have a lovely primary school. I've seen few nice houses in Westminster but reading through people say it has a bad reputation and high crime rates? Any help will be much appreciated! Thanks!!

Hi Pea, can I just ask, what visa did you get after the 457? Were you able to apply in two years? We are going on a 457 and from what I heard we could apply for a permanent visa after 2 years with the same employer? Thanks!

Hi Haley, I have a friend who got a short term rental on this website http://www.perthfurnishedrentals.com/index.html , my hubby went on his own last week and got a room on this site ww.airbnb.com.au until we arrive in august. Hope it helps!

True! And thats the reason we are moving from the UK, life heres been so hectic and barely seen the kids during the week and too exhausted at the weekends! We really want some quality time with them, thats our main priority!

Weedolly I haven't been there yet, just like it for some reason, probably for watching wanted down under but will defo seems like is not worth commuting. Thanks for replying

Thanks Druid I will have a look around I heard Mindarie was nice!

Ali he doesn't want to commute! I'm the one who's persisting but I guess it will be whatever is handier and SH seems a bit far!

Thanks verystormy, yes that's what I thought! I guess he will have to decide if is worth the commute

Hi Everyone, We are a family of 5 moving to Perth soon, our visas were approved last week and right now hubby is on his way from Dubai to Perth We decided that I would wait with the kids in the UK until I move over in July so our son could finish school in June. We have 3 kids and their ages are 9, 3 and 1.5 Any advice on school etc would be kindly appreciated as well as where to live with kids, I love secret harbour but it seems like a long commute as hubby will be working in North Perth. Anyway, I'm hoping to make some friends and we can all meet up soon! I'm sad to leave all my friends behind but looking forward to the new adventure. I better go back to bed here as working tomorrow MrsL
