TheMackemSlayer Posted February 17, 2016 Report Share Posted February 17, 2016 Hey guys, just thought I'd post a little update on our move... So we departed on Saturday and arrived late Sunday night (flew with Garuda Indonesia and, despite some negative reviews, they were excellent), then began tackling things Monday morning - visited Visited the local ANZ to sort our bank accounts, got a car, sim cards and done some shopping. Yesterday we had a drive around in order to adjust to the roads here and applied for heaps of jobs, while today we've mainly just chilled with the kids and had a stroll along the beach. Tomorrow needs to be used to sort medicare and centrelink, although I hope we'll only be using the latter for a short period of time. Perth simply offers completely different way of life to England. I am head and heels in love with the place already. Bit of a long shot but if anyone on here knows of any work then please point me in then right direction. I have City & Guilds welding qualifications and experience in plasma cutting, as well as operating CNC drills and punches. Would happily take labour work for now though, provided the money is okay. Will post more updates as we go along guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Takeme2Oz Posted February 18, 2016 Report Share Posted February 18, 2016 Sounds great!! Well done for being so organised too!! I know you've said your flights with Garuda were excellent but can I ask some questions..... How were the stopovers? Was there enough to do in the airports for the amount of time you were there? How was the onboard service/food/entertainment? How much baggage allowance did you get? Thanks xxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benj1980 Posted February 18, 2016 Report Share Posted February 18, 2016 Let the fun begin! Don't expect centrelinks to be a quick 20 minute visit mind you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
