  1. YIPEE Does,nt It feel good. See you over here, PS BRING MORE CHAMPERS, Laura xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx:)
  2. Just to add, You have to park the car in the direction of the flow of traffic, its illegal to park the other way. Coles english section also sell Colmans Mint sauce as well as English Mustard You must wear a helmet when riding a bike. You actually get arrested for J walking, my OH witnessed this in the city, just before he was about to cross the road. lol Ozzie TV is better than English and there is no licence to pay. When you see adverts on tv the actors are real people like Adelaide furniture and electrical, Ive been there and was served by Joe, lol Very catchy advert. Hey Joe how do you keep your prices so low, its second hand well you wouldnt know. Lol Play station, DS games that you buy here work on English. DVD's dont if they are a different region.
  3. Just to add, We were really happy with our agent, His name is Mick Breen and company name is Destination Oz, he previously worked as an immigration officer. His fees cost us about 1 thousand pounds I know it was a little cheaper than that but just rounding it up. He was efficient, we didnt have to keep chasing him and he had us organise our paper work so that when we arrived in Oz I had everything to present to the TRA which after looking at my evidence granted me my cert without an interview. Sorry to here of people being ripped off. Hope this helps someone as I highly recommend him. Lauraxxx:)
  4. Hi Guys, Welcome to P.I.A Just a short reply, I live in West lake Shores which is trully lovely. My son is in the catchment for Le Fever, Seaton and Henley High. All great schools to look up. He's at West lakes primary, we chose this area as the school looked so good. We made a great choice. The Kindy is also fantastic, they have four different class rooms, 5 teachers and lots of outdoor activities within there park. Hope this helps Lauraxxx:)
  5. Hi there, We bought Phenigan over the counter in Oz, I would suggest you try it yourself first. My OH had one tablet for children over 6, as he had really bad reaction to mozzy bites. He was wiped out all day and night. He swears he would not take this again, and would never give it to the kids. Lauraxxx
  6. Hi Rachael, I honestly don't know. i think we got it due to very low income, although i know others have claimed it. What type of visa do you have? perhaps you should put the question on here as your own thread. Hope this helps Lauraxxx
  7. Hi Guys, just thought of some more Rocking up means arriving Used like this Laura just rocked up. Ozzies call the slide in the park a slippery dip, thought that was quite sweet. Lauraxxxx
  8. Hi hayley,Conner Welcome to Oz, have you got over the Jet lag yet? By the way where is Woodcroft? Lauraxxx:wubclub:
  9. Hi all, I was sat here with my lap top thinking of the things that we learnt as the days passed since being in Oz, I thought I would share theese thoughts and maybe people can add their own. It may help you or me. Lauraxxx You can buy a 5 litre box of red wine 13% Paddle wheel not bad for $9.99, bottles are quite expensive. Certifying your papers officially can be done for free at West Lakes Library. You can get help with money towards your rent at Centre link if you have Perm/Res. You can hire great DVD's at the library for free. Cleland do a year membership for around $100 for a family You are not recommended to eat the shellfish ie mussells and crabs from the lakes, due to pollution. Coles sell a great spray that keeps spiders out of your house for at least 6 months for $10. Coles on the Torens Road Woodville sell proper English Marmite (MY MATE) $4 something. When you go to get an Australian driving licence they do not keep your old English one. Its cheeper to drive to the nearest train station and catch a train, than to park in the carparks in the city:)

  18. Hi Lynne, My son has similar problems, I can recommend West Lakes Shore school. Its not small classes about 27 in a class but they were so quick to assess him here and get him some one on one teaching they are very firm on making kids as independant as poss and my son is defo more organised than he was. Unfortunatly the situation is that he got a lot of help in each class in England and only 4 hours per week here. Private may be more im unsure. Hope this helps Lauraxxx

    7 Seater cars

    :( My advise would be to look in the classified ads in the advertiser. or look under cars for sale on here. I see alot of 7 seaters in used car sales carparks, these were too pricey for us at the time. If I were to do it again I would buy it out of the paper, we ended up with a lovely car and we paid $15,000 Which we are now trying to sell. Then we can go home. wah wah wah. Lauraxxx
  22. Excited as The Car and The house is in The advertizer today. Hope we get a good responce. Then we can go home, Laura:v_SPIN:
  23. How exciting, just about to start a fresh adventure. We hope you have a good journey. If you have a bit of time at a different country try booking into one of those lounges, where you can shower, eat and relax. We did this in Hong Kong and it was great for everyone. Lauraxxx
  24. Hi, hope this helps Vodaphone do 5kg per month for $39 Lauraxxx I feel its a good deal, they do tie you in like most companies for 2 years though. This also includes the wireless device.
