WA.... So what is it really like over there???

Ok well the decision has been made....

Just got off the phone from the new boss I've accepted the new position over there and I start in December...

It'll be too soon for me to pack stuff and drive the good old series 2 over there so looks like I might rough it there for a few months (its all 2 week on 1 week off stuff) and also see if I can buy a cheap car to get around in over there.... (landrover of course, what else????)

So maybe if any of the locals can point me in the direction of which the "good" realestate agents are in terms of renting and also if anyone hears of a any cheap rovers for sale in perth give me a yell.... saw a nice v8 disco for 3 grand in a yard there on the net....

Perth, here I come!!!

Congrats mate - when in December do you get here - we will have to get together for a beer.

You don't want your SII driven over for you in January do you??? (see my post in the courier service section).

If I see/hear of any cheap landies I will let yuou know.

They want me there by the first or 2nd week in december for inductions etc etc so pretty soon....

If I don't take the landy over with me in december I'll be coming back for it in feb probably and move all my stuff at the same time. A mate from sydney wants to ride shotgun for the trip over and I've promised him yes so great offer and thanks alot for it but I've got the landy sorted. However I may possibly have another car that may need transport, not sure yet have to see how it goes.

As for having a beer sometime I'm all for that, after all who could say no to beer???

Welcome to WA and the best bit of Aus apart from real estate prices worse than Sydney.

Just kidding, I am a South Aussie originally. WA is probablly the best state in Australia. If you want land you will be 50 - 200 kms from the CBD depending on what you want to pay.

I can sell you a nice little property for $900,000 just a little bit Nth East of Perth, practically a suburb, on the doorstep of the ocean (just a short drive). It is called Wiluna.
:o

I haven't yet bought a car over here, but from what I have seen they are usually a bit more than "over east" - maybe 1.5k more on a 5k car.
