odies Posted July 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2015 Trying to think of an update for you all 3 months in, seeing as I have done most normal tourist things here it's what we have been up to as we now live here. These are my personal thoughts been to leapfrogs for a meal and the crazy golf , really enjoyed the afternoon went to Yanchep national park, had lunch in the old hotel , saw the kolas and kangaroos. Not riveting been to Cottesloe, Scarborough,floreat had a drink in the famous tea house ,on the way back visited the English chippy in currambine, ok but nothing special. went to Belmont races , had winner and we all had a fun time took the train to Manduah saw the Dolphins ,would like to go for a short break there. visted Atlantis fairly new children's playground for a party, very unsocial for a party. Went to inflatable world for a party , loads better,went to the new pub in Carramar for a christening ,would not recommend. taken numerous walks along the beach fronts, all enjoyed. met up with Annjean for coffee and a natter, met up with Rob and Racheal at the Butler Dome,met up with Deb and a few other PP at the Moon and Sixpence, did a Mullalo walk with the girls , really enjoyed everyone. Done all the things to make you an Aussie all easy to do, I had to have a medical for my drivers licence , as I take some funny tablets, but no problems. got help from pp to get the car on the road, would not recommend bringing the car over. Given my tenants notice to move out, feel awful as she is pregnant, however there seems to be loads of rentals about. Will be better when we are in our own house. Hubby still misses the UK , he says nice for a holiday but not to live here , so working hard on that but I would say never underestimate the pull of your old life , even when you pinch yourself you live in a fabulous house looking out on the ocean.

Ashlenelouise Posted July 15, 2015 Report Share Posted July 15, 2015 I'm gutting the house top to bottom, numerous trips to the recycling plant. House is getting there should be pretty empty by the time we fly Tuesday. We moveout Monday. Still seems surreal xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steely Posted July 16, 2015 Report Share Posted July 16, 2015 Gone very quickly Steeley, how are you doing ? Just sending off the Police checks, then sit back and wait for a case office. Been informed likely November for this, and then the medicals, hopeful of a January move, but nothing solid yet, as you know the Parent Visa route is looooong and sloooow! Good to see your settling in well though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was $300 and used it all day today. Graham Patterson on Facebook if you carn't find Tech Shop boys on the internet.No need for foxtel or netflix now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

odies Posted July 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2015 Internet, no monthly subscription, a one off payment , it updates itself. I know we lost the cricket but hubby so happy to listen to the english commentators . I can not fault it and still at my sons and his internet is awful. spelt the blokes name wrong its Greame Paterson, it looks just like the apple box .

Guest Guest6235 Posted July 20, 2015 Report Share Posted July 20, 2015 Ok thanks. I like the ozzie rugby league on Gem i think it is etc so may miss that, we also only have vivid wireless at the moment so probably wouldn't be able to get it without an actual line. It's a pity you can't flick between that and normal tv so he could get the cricket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
