piccolo Posted May 28, 2012 Report Share Posted May 28, 2012 Well we finally arrived in Perth on Sat night. So far, it's been just lovely! Weather is nice and sunny, not too hot. Had a great picnic in King's Park yesterday, few beers, our daughter loved running around. We met some friends of ours and just soaked up the view and the fact that we now live in Australia! Today, got our TFNs, got new SIM card and started looking at cars...we head to Bunbury on Thursday for a look around at some houses and for OH to meet his employer for the first time. Our excess bags arrived today so we've to collect them tomorrow. What a saving by the way on that. Can't believe that Emirates charge 50 euro per kilo!! It would have cost us 3000 euro but we got the excess baggage flown on Qantas for 460 euro. Highly recommend K International Freight in Dublin....they saved our lives the night before we flew!! So that's it....I'm delighted to finally be here in WA and looking forward to starting our aussie adventure!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kirsteen Posted May 28, 2012 Report Share Posted May 28, 2012 Hi Piccolo My goodness i didnt realise you were going so soon. Sounds like you have settled in on your first day, what away to start a picnic at kings park, think i might need to do that aswell.... We are heading to Busselton in August, Hubby got job offer down there, so we are coming over in August, not sure exact date yet, he has to do 4 weeks in training in perth before hand so not sure if we all going together or me and kids 4 weeks later. Let me know how you get on checking out Bunbury as its only 30min from Busselton. I was worried about going to Busselton as i had read it was for retirement age but the more i read the more it soudns nice. Would be good to keep in touch and hopefully meet up if you guys end up heading in that direction..

Guest annie Posted May 28, 2012 Report Share Posted May 28, 2012 you've been on my mind. Sounds like a good start. best of luck and hope you get a rental without any hassle. My OH was in bunbury today, flying visit to check things out. we hope to be there around october. Sounds like you will settle easily, youve been very positive so you will easily handle any minor teething issues. all the best. Might be interested to hear more about the excess baggage thing sometime later. all the best, annie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
