PROBABLY MOVING TO AUSTRALIA IN 2 YEARS....

[MrsBigD]

please tell me there is a mumsnet network over there!

DH is a Kiwi and loves Oz and I've been before and quite like it too. Ah the weather! Ah the beaches, the bbq's etc.

Also probably a nice place for our kids to grow up :)

So tell me... anybody from Australia on here! Most likely place we'll end up is Sydney

sorry to be nosey
but why are you going back to the UK? Are you out here on working visas?

Hi Suzy - yes - working visas. Dh is here as a part of his SpR training programme - he needed to spend a year at a smaller hospital to get general medical experience. We faced moving either 80 or 120 miles from home so we thought why not do it in style and move all the way over the world...It has been great and we will do it again but work commitments (more mine than his) mean that we must be back (and at my desk) on 1 August this year. Not sure that we would do this distance for more than a couple of years at a time - there's a lot of family stuff that we're missing out on at home and the boys miss their grandparents dreadfully. It's going to be a wrench to leave though.

Can I just ask if property is expensive?

Any one recommend A good area to live for kids near schools, hospitals and near the ship yards in Perth is it fre0

go to www realestate dot com, get the WA page up and choose Fremantle, your required number of bedrooms and be sure to check the box that shows properties in the adjacent suburbs.

Not knowing anything about your circumstances MrsTT, I would say the average family could be accommodated very nicely for AUD400k within 15 mins drive of the Freo Hospital or Murdoch Hospital and the Port.

HH that seems perfectly reasonable, carry on.

I actually kind of miss Kmart and Big W.

Well I can tell you there's a 25% off baby's and kid's sets this week at Target and 445g of Vegemite is only 5 bucks at Coles this week

You guys have put me in the notion big style. I am ready to make the move. must contact the agengy this morning.

You must you must
you know as a nurse you will be snapped up immediately don't you?

Put the wheels in motion and get here for October, spring time

Suzywong how long do u plan to stay in Perth?
If you have any photos could you send me a few.
would love to hear from you. [email protected]

Does everyone use skype to contact home in the uk. Free calls to anyone else who has skype if u are using it. Great saving. Worth a look into.

Forever!!!!

yeh - once you pommy bastards get over here we can't get rid of you I can say that as my dad and my dh and dd1 are pb's - although dd1 like me has dual citizenship!

See you have been having the nice weather - we had a week of rain last week - good when we had to be housebound due to dd1's surgery.... now back to warm sunny days.... love it

off to check out K-mart on Friday when dd1 is at kindy. I managed to get some good clothes for kindy at best and less for under a fiver - nice fleecy track pants and tops!!
