ali Posted February 18, 2013 Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 Just wondering if you'd visited before deciding to migrate here? We'd visited Brisbane, Sydney and Cairns but came to Perth sight unseen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danuty2002 Posted February 18, 2013 Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 I am not even there, but Perth is my destination... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fifi69 Posted February 18, 2013 Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 No hadnt been to Perth or anywhere else in Oz. From research we had it down to Perth or Brisbane that we thought would suit us. They both had pluses and negatives but Perth won on the weather front. Dont regret that decision Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nikkis2000 Posted February 18, 2013 Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 A lot of OH's family live NOR so he had been a few times before. I hadn't been until we went on a family business back in Nov. We started the application process before we'd even left even though it wasn't really the point of the trip!!

Mad Cow Posted February 18, 2013 Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 No, never been to oz before we migrated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAK Posted February 19, 2013 Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 We had been to Australia several times visiting family on the Central Coast, driven to Brisbane and Canberra but never been to Perth. I always thought we would end up in Brisbane. We never gave Perth a thought until OH decided to get in touch with an old friend and found out how much work was available here.

Yes I agree. We drove from the Cape to Port Elizabeth, and the drive from Perth to Albany was very similar. Wish the prices were the same in Perth as S Africa:biggrin: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
