I have been back in Perth for less than two weeks and I have secured a full time job. Since leaving Perth two years ago, I have been in contact with a colleague from my old employment through Facebook. She has been keeping up with me & and knew that I was back in Perth [...]
Who Hates Land Agents
March 27th, 2010, 1 Comment
One of the problems when looking for rental properties is that most of the time you have to deal with real estate agents. We went & looked at a rental property yesterday which looked alright on the website it was advertised on. We looked all through the property & then had some questions for the [...]

Well we left QLD on Wednesday, and after rather a long flight (5 hours with 2 kids cooped up in a small space is a long time), we arrived in Perth to welcoming friends & family. We are staying with my sister and Brother-in-law temporarily while we look for our own place. At least this [...]
All Packed Up

We had the removal team in today packing up all our household items, to ship to Western Australia. We were prepared more the packers this time. In previous moves, the boys simply turn up and start packing things up that are there; not necessarily organized into groups & rooms. This time was different. We had [...]

I had an old Sony Ericsson phone that had just done it’s last days; the flip screen had had it and it was out of date. We have been looking to change mobile carriers for several months as we were not happy with our previous prepaid carrier, and so I thought what perfect time to [...]

Proud Aussies

The Australian flag seems to be more than just a flag. Obviously it’s used as our national icon and is recognized all over the world; but I’ve noticed something about it that I’ve never seen before anywhere. It is everywhere. People dress up in it, wear it on their feet, have it waving from their [...]
The Joys of Moving
February 3rd, 2010, 3 Comments
The whole process of packing up and moving is a very daunting task. You have to work out how much stuff to pack for use while you’re waiting for your goods; organizing professional movers if you don’t want to do it all yourself, or are moving great distances. You get to the point of living [...]

For most Australian’s, Australia Day is a day when they celebrate being an Australian and living in this great nation. We see the Australian flag big and small being flown from everything and anything, people dress up and buy things with Australian colours and some people even get a tattoo for the day. For me, [...]
