Atchy Posted March 10, 2012 Report Share Posted March 10, 2012 Yeh mate i have been looking far north as well, clarkson etc. I did think of looking south but thought it might be a nightmare getting in on a morning as i have heard traffic is very slow through Perth at certain times. It does seem as though you get more for your money down there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Id say you will, best bet is to ask sarah allen from the relocation firm n see what she says,, you would hate to get to aussie passport control n have them not let you in as there isnt valid insurance on your file, i went with bupa, found them the best value for money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fly out next tuesday. On the clothing sizes I just looked at a tape measure and converted inchers to cm's. I hope thats right otherwise I'm going to look a bit of an idiot. I think the boot sizes are the same as UK. I've moved from Fremantle and for the first three weeks I'm in Applecross but move back to Fremantle when my family get here..

Applecross was that your choice, is it closer to the school seeing as you are not taking the hire car pal. Did u air frieght your tools i would have preferred to stay at Fremantle for the whole time but i'm there for the last week with my family which is good. I'm not airfreighting anything over just to save some money. i live on the Isle of Wight and the freight company logistics of getting my stuff to their depot and packed into a container costs a fortune as they've got to make a few ferry crossings so most of my budget has gone on that. So instead of a large family app in Fremantle I will be in a one bed appartment in Applecross. It's still bloody lovely and I can't believe my luck. All my tools are going by sea and I've changed and got car hire from day 1 as trying to work out bus timetables and routes was a nightmare. I go from being dead excited to very nervous and know I won't sleep much monday night but as soon as I'm on my way it will be great...
