Guest AE101 Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 Congrats to all who got visa's over the last few weeks. I havnt been on since we got our visa nearly 2 weeks ago. The celebrations went on for 2 days haha then we had our first wedding anniversery last week so we've been quite busy. Booked flights yesterday, we arrive in Perth on the 1st January (16 weeks + 3 days till we leave ha). The oh is clearing out the house already. We decided not to ship anything we will just sell everything here and buy new over there as we need it. Has anyone else decided not to ship their belongings? Also just wanted to say a big thank you to Chardy for starting this thread, would of been lost without it. Cant wait for a big meet up when we are all down under.:jiggy::jiggy: Aisling, Ste & Jacob x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had decided not to ship anything - most of our stuff is Ikea so we'll buy again over in Oz. We are thinking about sending over a few boxes mainly kids toys and books, but we still have to work out what we think is worth taking and whether we can fit into our double luggage allowance - we need a severe cull to do that tho :huh: Good luck with the house clearance - it definately feels good doesn't it Est x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you secured a short term rental yet im finding it hard to find anywhere. Its good to hear that someone is going over around the same time as us. Hopefully we can meet up when you get there. How old are your kids ? Jacob will be 12 in Feb.:jiggy: Aisling, Ste & Jacob x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest AE101 Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 Hi Est We are going to look SOR. Rockingham was one of the areas we want to look at but since we have never been to Perth before its hard to decide. There was one property in Waikiki that we might rent for the first few weeks, cant seem to find anything else. :confused: The oh likes the look of secret harbour aswell. Just want to get it all sorted so i can relax haha. Ill send you a pm with my email address to keep in touch. :smile: Aisling, Ste & Jacob x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thinkin Team 4 are getting a bit slow or maybe I am just gettin very desperate now!! Smiley (or maybe not:unsure:) Morning, I am with team 2, although I think our visa is a wee bit away yet. There has been minimal contact with the CO. I really have to get myself in a better frame of mind, and realise if its granted next month, that is all still fine! I am still waiting for my cyprus Police checks to come back, hopefully they might be in the post today! Just would have liked it sooner, rather than later.
