Definately sounds good, especially as our children are so close in ages :-) We fly on the 27th Feb so will will be just settled (hopefully) when you arrive. We have a holiday let for 3 weeks n then flying to Adelaide for 2 week to see SIL. We are hoping that we can find a more permenant rental in Safety Bay or Rockingham Beach before then. Definately up for a morning at the beach when you fancy it :-) Have a safe journey - we did it last year when our son was 3 and our daughter 3 months, they both coped really well - we'll see what its like now our daughter is unable to sit still for 2 seconds LOL Est Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eweasel Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 Hi Gemma We went travelling around Australia for 3 months last year when I was on maternity leave, we spend about a month in Rockingham over Christmas n New Year and loved every minute. When we got home in March I think we were home for about 3 weeks n decided to go for the visa - now we are almost there for good :-) don't know anything about Safety Bay or Wakiki but i've seen lots of posts from people saying the area is nice and within an hour of the city. We did visit Mandurah and it was lovely right on the river. We aren't shipping anything - just filling up on our luggage allowance with Singapore Airlines - bless our son we've given him big box to start sorting out which toys n books he want to take (it sounds so awful doesn't it) Est soz forgot to add that we are Shropshire at the moment - not quite so cold n rainy ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't wait to be able to set a date to move to Perth...sooooo fed up of short cold windy days here. It's nice to read how these kind of sites can bring strangers together, forming friendships or/and for advice. Good luck to you all. xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest marandpar@iinet.net.au Posted January 13, 2012 Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 Hi Tracey My name is Traey too and i think you will be fine here as there are alot of Irish people here.just be prepared for all the rules and regulations they are so strict here my son says it is like big brother and i agre with him.We have been here a year and still finding it hard to settle we seem to take one step forward and ten back we just wish someone would give us a break.They are not very good at helping you are left to get on with it.They certainly do look after number one.

Guest CatBarry Posted January 13, 2012 Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 Hi All, I am Catherine, I am actually born and raised in Australia but have 2 N.Irish parents and have lived 8years in London so consider myself to be British. I have just returned from the UK in October and we currently live in the GoldCoast but relocating to Perth on 25th Jan. Even though I was raised in Oz I am nervous about Perth as its so far and I know noone there, have holidayed there twice and found it extremely boring. Am hoping to make some friends in the same boat, it'll be me, my hubby and 2 wee ones 5yrs and 2yrs. I am even more nervous as my hubby will be working away up north and be away for 3weeks at a time. We will be living in Southern River, couldn't really tell you where it is tho. Would just be nice to chat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
