marsbar Posted August 20, 2006 Report Share Posted August 20, 2006 HI,Another south african family in Perth.!!!! We arrived in May and we have eventually settled down. I cannot believe where time has gone to. It feels as if it was just yesterday that i was on this forum asking questions and reading all the information on immigration. We are finally here!!!!! We are currently renting in the Northern Suburbs as we have not yet decided in which suburb we would like to settle down.We are very happy here and my only wish would be that the rest of my family and friends could be here with us as i constantly worry about them living in S.A. Both our little boys (2 & 5) have settled down and the eldest seemed a lot happier once all his toys and familiar things were being unpacked. As for the little one he has no clue as to what is going on - little does he know that we have just moved to a new CONTINENT!!!!Look fwd to helping anyone with any questions....Mariette Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly Posted August 20, 2006 Report Share Posted August 20, 2006 Hi MarietteNice to see you on the forum. I'm on here while my hubby watches the English footie on TV. Pity the picnic in Mawson Park was rained out yesterday. I'll ring you in the week, and maybe pop in for a coffee.Ruth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before u realise it, u will also be here on this side of the ocean. As for the family u are right - i am hoping that when they come out they will be able to see why we made the decision to immigrate and why we say we do not think we will return to a country where lives are no longer valued!!

MarietteI feel the same way too, Mariette. I worry about their safety and miss my mama the most - she's 77 and even though she's very healthy and active, I wish she near me so that I could see more of her. And I worry about my sister and brother and their children and their families. But we knew all that when we made the decision to leave. Its the choice we made.
