Myself and my 3 children are moving to Perth in December.
We moved to Singapore for hubbys job from the UK in July. Singapore though fun is not what we want for the children. It has been one thing after another - schools issues, health care, housing - and the opportunity for us to reassess our situation has arisen.
We already have PR visas which expire in 2018 so we need to head down under soon anyway - Singapore was going to be our Asian adventure for a couple of years but the novelty has well and truly worn off!
We have chosen Perth because it will allow hubby to travel down regularly, the flight time being only 5 hours and no time difference. Hopefully this will be a short term solution 8-12months. It does also allow us a lifestyle similar to where we lived and what we had in the UK but in a bigger place with better weather. That said I do know it is not perfect and that everything is subjective.
I lived in Perth in 2002 for 6 months but the Perth of then is not what it is now - much didn't exist then!
I am looking at living slightly north around Hillarys/Ocean Reef.
We need a good primary school, a sense of community, close proximity to all amenities such as medical care, shopping, the beach, sporting facilities - driveable is fine.
If anyone on here can provide me with current feedback +/- on my search that would be brilliant. I know it will be tough. Constructive feedback will help guide me.
Thank you.
