kealeyjay Posted July 10, 2014 Report Share Posted July 10, 2014 Hi, Not long left to go now! 13 days until we fly to Perth. we are starting out in Mullaloo for a month until we decide where we want to continue living Feels very surreal at the moment. Im having major issues with fitting everything in suitcases too lol. is there anything people would recommend bringing as i hear its expensive for certain things, so would rather bring them out with us? Also, if there are any others in our situation or want to meet out there? I will be coming over with my husband, little girl age 3 and little boy age 1. x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

louisef Posted July 26, 2014 Report Share Posted July 26, 2014 Aw - that was us at home a month ago - constant to do list ! We ve nearly been here a month now - and I allways a thought in the back of head -are we really doing the right thing ? it gets especially hard with the good bye do 's. We move into a rental in Mullaloo in two weeks /- our container should have arrived in Freemantle today : ) I dont want to jinx myself but it's been briliiant here so far - the beach in Mullaloo in just jaw droppingly beautiful with a foreshore grassy play area and public BBQ s - there are 2 lovely primary schools, the roads are really easy to drive around and you re spolt for choice with shopping centres - the place is so clean and the people so friendly and curtious - I love it ! The only thing that could be better is the weather - we ve had lots of rain and does get cold at night - so bring your jumpers and bed socks - my summer wardrobe hasn't had a look in yet ! Loads of luck with the packing and stuff to do - but it is definitely worth it : ) There's a Dome by Mullaloo beach if you fancy catching up for coffee when you get over and settled. Excited for you Louise x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aligard Posted July 26, 2014 Report Share Posted July 26, 2014 Great to hear your settling well and I bet your looking forward to seeing your container, it will be like Xmas day lol. Have fun and hope the weather gets better soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roadhouse Posted July 26, 2014 Report Share Posted July 26, 2014 Only one full day left in the uk now and I know it will be an emotional one. we are having a pretend Christmas dinner with the family and doing a secret Santa too Crazy I know but won't be joining them at Christmas for a little while so will be nice to have the full turkey doo and drinks as a send off :-). we are staying a night down Manchester so we can hopefully clear our heads of emotions and look forward to our long exciting journey the next morning.( one in which I'm not at all looking forward too, especially with all the awful tragedies lately it fears the life out of me) I don't like flying to start with so now I'm pretty much having panic attacks thinking about this. Anyway,got all packed and locked today and that is one big stress done. So, bring on the Xmas lunch and party games and then perth here we come ,yey see you soon perth pommies x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
