HELP!!!
not long to go now

i actually live in warnbro too. its a nice area, we have our little local shopping centre with 2 supermarkets (coles and woolworths), 2 pharmacies, a few clothing shops, hairdressers and opticians - oh and a shoe shop!

there is palm springs medical centre but i can never get an appt there, just down the road is port kennedy general practice, they usually have appts and they bulk bill adults as well as kids which is hard to find here. basically means you dont pay for your visit. most doctors charge around $70-80 but you get aroiund 35 bk when you go to medicare.
do you or your partner drive? buses are a pain in the bum here, i think its one an hour! we have the train station close by which is great for going to the city.
i think rental prices are around $350 per week for a standard 4 bedroom 2 bathroom house with dbl garage. depends if you live on the beach side or not. the closer you are to the beach the more you will pay.
dont bring tv's with you, we brought 1 and it wouldnt work, theyre not too expensive to buy. you can look at online catalogues for some of our big electrical stores like dick smith's or the good guys to give you an idea of prices. gumtree.com.au is a great site for buying second hand. your washer/dryer/fridge should all work fine though

its scary moving, and it will take time to adjust. the rockingham area has a lot of ex british citizens, most of my friends are british. generally the people are nice here, but like anywhere you have some rif-raf. good luck with everything - hope all goes well! oh and im here if u want any more info, i'll try to check in here more regularly, im usually in the girly sanctuary or general chatter
