‘Life Down Under’ - 04-09-2008

‘Life Down Under'

For the 1000's hot footing it Down Under to live in Perth every year, it can be in the search of a better job, a better life or just the chance of a sun tan. It can be a daunting decision to pack up your life, leave your family and make the move. Not knowing what to expect when you get here can often be the biggest nail bitter of all, and sometimes the reason used for not making the move at all.

Many people I know, including me I might add, move to Perth without even coming over for a nose around first. Some, like me again, have never even set foot on Australian soil before coming. While this to some might seem like a crazy thing to do, for those who have, the chance at a better life is validation enough for such an otherwise impulsive and risky decision.

So if you're thinking of packing up your sunnies and heading south and your knowledge of Aussie life is limited only to your in-depth knowledge of the neighbours of Ramsey Street and Summer Bay, then here is the inside scoop on what life can really be like at the bottom of the world...

Just to state the blindingly obvious and save any possible cyber bashing, everything I write about is only based on my opinions, experiences and life here in Perth and yes, although the odd thing about this place really does make you scratch your head in disbelief, on the whole, I can't think of a place that I would rather live.
