kerry267 Posted April 13, 2013 Report Share Posted April 13, 2013 Hi everyone, we're not in Perth yet but we're currently applying for our sponsored visa so hope to arrive in the next 3 months all being well! We are looking to live NOR when we get there. My husband is from Cornwall but I'm from Langley Mill and that's where we live at the moment. We would love to meet others who have been through the same experience or who are currently in our situation and even better if we are from the same place! Any advice along the way would also be much appreciated! Kerry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be great to share a light beverage with you all. We're aiming for September.

So anything you need to know feel free to ask. Do you have children? What jobs do you do? All I can say is try and enjoy it for what it is a bloody big adventure. To all of you at the start middle or end of your journeys feel free to ask anything, within reason that is lol.

kerry267 Posted April 13, 2013 Report Share Posted April 13, 2013 Thanks Jane! It's so helpful to have someone to answer the many questions we have and I'll definitely take you up on your offer! You have experienced exactly the same thing so you know what we're going through. It is daunting but we're also very excited to start the adventure! We're just applying for our 457 so I'm spending every waking hour researching everything else! We have 2 children, one aged 13 years and one aged 20 months so quite an age difference. I'm sure I'll be messaging you again very soon! Kerry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

helenhope Posted November 11, 2013 Report Share Posted November 11, 2013 Funny, funny thread guys. Hi to you all we are leaving Brisbane after 2 years to join you all in Perth. Should be arriving mid January for my little one to start pre- primary and we are from Wollaton. Would love a catch up if anyone is free around that time, cannot believe how many people are from that region will be a great meet up. Oh, and if anyone can help me I am still frantically researching schools but not sure which school I would need to live in Kinross or Mindarie. They are 2 beautiful suburbs but not found a school yet. cheers guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
