Guest Katy and Rob Posted January 10, 2012 Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 Hi Guys, I cant Believe 2012 is here, This is the year we all move to Oz.. how exciting. We have started to get quotes on moving the dog and our furniture this month and hav sorted out things were taking and what were selling, it is all becoming very real. We have also been looking at properties and areas to move to. The is a Western Australia Expo on in london at the end of March, which i hope will give us more inforamtion on job for myself and my husband etc. I would like to know if anyone else has got quotes for furniture and who they got them with?? We have been given a great on from Eagle if anyone has used them please let know what there like. Or if you know anyone can you ask around. thanks guys Good Luck:wubclub: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jhogo Posted January 11, 2012 Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 Hi Guys! I'm new here, and while I am a member of POI, I wasn't a part of the June gang. I just wanted to say that I booked my flights two days ago and I arrive on 14th Feb at 1 in the morning! I've just finished uni in the last year and am flying out there to find myself a job. Absolutely cannot wait! Good luck to all you who are still in the process of moving or applying for visas, you have a much tougher time of it that I have, as I don't have a family to relocate!

eweasel Posted March 11, 2012 Report Share Posted March 11, 2012 Hi Justin and the June Gang Been looking for this thread but couldn't find it last week glad someone brought it back up the the front :-) We finally arrived in Perth on the 29th February and are staying in Safety Bay - right on the beach with a view of the sea from the decking - fantastic for an evening glass of wine or cold tinnie!!! Since we arrived it has been pretty hectic. Rich got a job in the first couple of days, and we were offered a long term let in Bayswater (15 minutes drive from his job in Malaga) but it won't be available until beginning of May - until then we have had to find another short term let NOR for April - not easy with Easter in the middle, but we finally got that sorted on this Friday. We brought a car yesterday, and inbetween sorted all our medicare etc etc etc - all this in 40 degree heat - not bad :-) It is as wonderful as we thought it would be - I just hope once normality sets in when Rich starts work it will be just as good. Love to all the June gang Est xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Katy and Rob Posted April 24, 2012 Report Share Posted April 24, 2012 :ssign5: Another little Update.. This time is is all very exciting, I leave my Job next week....ekk, and I then become a housewife lol. Our stuff is shipped the following week,and 4 weeks later myself and my husband are shipped out to start our new lives. I am very excited but very very nervous aswell. The Dog is staying till August and then will be shipped out.. I am very worried about her but I am sure she will be fine. So at the moment it is all systems go, boxes everywhere. Hope your all well, would be great to hear how your all getting on. Take care Katy x:wubclub: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LucysDream Posted April 24, 2012 Report Share Posted April 24, 2012 Hey Katy, I finished work last Friday, and we fly out next Saturday! We are only just starting to pack up and should be shipping ours next week along with the car. Saying that we are only shipping the car plus a handful of boxes so not much. We will also put stuff in the car. I am also a lady of leisure now, my OH finishes work this Friday so we will both be umemployed. We are having our leaving party this Saturday for family & friends, I have brought a load of Aussie decor. Good luck, Lucy x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Si T Posted April 24, 2012 Report Share Posted April 24, 2012 Hi all Just seen this thread. Been here six weeks now and move into our long term rental next Tuesday. Container arrived on Thursday so we are in the process of getting that cleared through customs. I started a contract after two weeks and have an interview on Monday morning for a longer term one with one of the big iron ore mining companies and there is a good chance that it will go permanent so fingers crossed. A get together and a beer sounds like a great idea. We have been staying with Trudy's aunt and uncle since we arrived so have had family around us but also need to spread our wings and make new friends. We are going to be living in Mindarie for at least the next twelve months so if anyone fancies getting together then just shout. Cheers Si Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
