bianca87 Posted January 10, 2016 Report Share Posted January 10, 2016 Hi all, We moved to Adelaide September 2013 on 190 visa. Not been the top of our list we always said we would give it ago but it is just not living up to our dreams. After much deliberation we have decided to pack up the family and go..... AGAIN!! So my question is, have any of you moved interstate and do you have any advice? We're hoping to make the move May(ish) We have 2 children Louie 6 & Lottie 4 thanks in advance, Bianca ?

verystormy Posted January 10, 2016 Report Share Posted January 10, 2016 Hi and welcome to the forum We moved interstate. We were originally in Sydney. What are you looking for from WA? The move is expensive if you use a removal firm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bianca87 Posted January 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2016 thanks for you replies... Adelaide just seems really small. After 16 months we feel as though we have done/seen everything. I feel it's best suited for 50+ And retirement. It's very laid back (which I don't mind at times) but we've started to get bored. Were a young family and looking for a young suburb, we like to do family activities but also socialise with friends for drinks ect. Didyou use a removal company?

verystormy Posted January 11, 2016 Report Share Posted January 11, 2016 Yes, we used a removal company, luckily it was paid for by my company as it was about the same price as shipping a container from the UK. I would ensure sure you do some research about Perth as it is often regarded similar in many ways to Adelaide. For example, although Perth itself is very spread out, the vast majority are just suburbs. The city centre is actually very small - you can walk across it in less than half an hour. I have never ever been to Adelaide, but actually got the impression it is bigger than Perth. And obviously we are even more isolated.

Anne Posted January 12, 2016 Report Share Posted January 12, 2016 We lived in Adelaide for a few years & many more in Perth. We originally moved here for the same reason as yourselves. I prefer the climate in WA & have decided to stay. But you will be just as bored with WA after a couple of years! Mostly suburbia with a very long drive to the closest cities. Best to come for a holiday first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bibbs Posted January 12, 2016 Report Share Posted January 12, 2016 I feel that Perth is a little bit more lively. But only a little. At least from Adelaide the flights to the rest of the east are shorter. If you are looking for a massive change, I doubt you'll find it.
