R & E Posted May 16, 2007 Report Share Posted May 16, 2007 Hi AllI just received a job offer from a company in Melbourne, so we are packing!We will be coming over on a 457, but I'm sure the company will sort all of that. What do I need to know? What do I need to pack, and what stays behind? They want me there before August 2007, so this is a speed train that I can not stop (not that I really want to, I love the rush).Any comments, advise, help, encouragement (money), will be gladly accepted.Me, my wife (Esmarie) and 2 girls (Marine 5 and Nalani 3) can't wait to set foot on soil.Riaan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My seuntjie is 6 en sal dus learskool toe gaan.Ons kyk na Monash om te bly maar sal seker eers verseker weet waar ons wil bly as ons eers daar is.Ek sal dit ook baie waardeer as jy of Mara of enige een wat voel hy is "gekwalifiseerd" om te antwoord, vir ons sal leiding gee oor goeie voorstede. Ek kyk na Mount of Glen Waverley. Is dit goeie areas?Enige raad sal vreeslik baie waardeer word Baie leifdeMichelle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catz Posted June 1, 2007 Report Share Posted June 1, 2007 Ek kyk na Mount of Glen Waverley. Is dit goeie areas?Hi MichelleOns het baie goeie Aus vriende wat in Glen Waverly bly, en dan die een omie wat saam met manlief werk, is in Mount Waverly. Albei baie goeie areas sover ek kan sien en weet! Skole in Glen Waverly ook goed, die dame wat ons daar ken, het reeds by die een Senior School klas gegee so paar jaar gelede toe hulle nog "skills tipe" klasse gegee het!! As dit nie so ver van manlief se werk was nie, het ek more soontoe getrek!Sterkte Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michelle M Posted June 1, 2007 Report Share Posted June 1, 2007 (edited) Baie dankie vir die raad Catz. Dan gaan ek vir eers fokus op daai 2 plekke en as ons daar kom en is nie gelukkig nie kan ons na ander plekke kyk.Weet een van julle of daar enige ander goedkoper opsie is as daycare? Ek hoor dat dit kos so $265 /kind/ week en om dit vir 2 kinders te moet betaal is nogal rof.
