smithinoz Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 Hi Lornarees, We are hoping to move out to Perth area in October (assuming visa is granted!). We are similar ages (I am 42 and hubby is 40). I am interested how you are coping with the FIFO situation as that is what my hubby will be doing. Thing is, I will be on my own so naturally I am a little uneasy about it. Everyone says that the companies can usually find a job for the wife, but I guess time will tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coping in Oz I guess it's about getting out there, getting involved, meeting up with people. definately get yourself a job, whatever it is, at least it will get you out of the house. This forum is great for meeting people, and arranging meet ups when you arrive. I lived there 4 yrs ago, and everyone is really friendly, and willing to have a coffee, especially the poms, as were all in the same boat, whether they've been there 5 years or 5 months. Were hopefully arriving sept visa pending, but would be happy to meet up, we to are same ages as yourself, and one well behaved 10yr old.

Shelly:biggrin: And you are one of the May team! :biggrin: Would be great to meet up. Hubby isn't keen on me working - he wants me to be available on his week off! :wink: So we shall see. I think he wants me to take at least 6 months off anyway. What does your OH do? Mine drives the big excavators and other earthmoving equipment. I am the main applicant for the visa though.

Mine drives the big excavators and other earthmoving equipment. I am the main applicant for the visa though. Yes, I'm in the May gang. Have been watching everyones thread it's moving really quickly isn't it, bit scary. OH is a paramedic but works for the UN in Africa, so used to him being away, but looking forward to a better rota. I agree with your OH wanting for you to be around, as it's awful when I have to go to work when OH is home, maybe you could get a job around his rota. I would wait and see, there is so much opportunity so do lots of different jobs, and shifts. If you don't work you will definately need a good circle of friends to meet for coffee/wine to keep you sane, isolation is a big problem really. Have you planned on a suburb yet, or will you wait til your there. Were still up in the air, looking for the best school for our daughter, but definately be SOR. Drinks in Little Creatures and Xmas on the beach is a definite to do as already suggested in our May thread. Shelly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smithinoz Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 Yeah we were hoping for SOR too. Trying not to do too much until we get the "he say yes" email. Then it will probably be a major panic. See you back in the May thread! x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
