My friend who is a Consultant OBS and GYNAE is thinking about moving to Perth in Australia
1. Is it better than other places in australia?
2. Are the property prices cheaper?
3.Is it better than living in England?
4.Any additional information?
1. No, its not better, all our capital cities are slightly different from each other. Perth is considered one of our smaller cities, very isolated with a small city surrounded by a large area of suburbs. The best features is it is a very pretty city, situated on the swan river with Kings Park looking over it. We also have wonderful beaches, I think the best in australia, as they go for miles. We don’t have the problems that queensland has with the nasties in the water. The weather is very hot, some say too hot
. It is a very layback city, more so than the eastern states, that is one of our charms. One negative is our isolation, it costs a lot to travel elsewhere for holidays.
2. No, Perth’s real estate is expensive, partially because we have some many eastern staters moving here for work.
3. It has some benefits, and some negatives. One thing I loved about england was how quickly you could go somewhere different, even for a weekend, and travel/shows are so cheap in comparison. Some benefits would be the outdoor lifestyle and the quality of housing.
4. The main reason people return to there native country is missing their families. It is really difficult to move, start again so far away from all your friends and family. If something goes wrong, it takes 24 hours to fly to england. If you decide to come you must first consider this. I am not sure if these jobs qualify to migrate here, we have very strict immigration rules and we have a list of jobs that are accepted, all others are rejected unless you come in on another type of visa, eg self funded retiree.
