hay guys, Im planning on moving to perth from melbourne in about 6 months time. i just wanna find out peoples opinions on what they think of perth, whats good to do. good places to go? etc also if anyone knows if there is much work over there? (im a mechanic). are there many VLT's over there?.. so far all i know is that the weather should kick arse over melbournes. thanks,

You can work anywhere as a mechanic, the paper is full of jobs every week.

Plenty of jobs id say bro... and yes... My mate who moved here from Woollongong said the same... "weather in perth ROCKS" lol

yea mate no shortage of work mate

thanks guys. keep the feedback coming. good to know i wont be leaving my job for nothing. also i think ill be moving around the leeming area somewhere near murdoch uni anyway. im visiting perth for 2 weeks in 2 weeks so i guess ill decide for myself what the place is like. most important thing i guess is that there is work. anyone know a GOOD transport company 2 bring my calais turbo over with???

haha you'll be in my hood, i live in an estate on farrington road/murdoch drive, we'll be neighbours. as for transport, go with someone big and reputable like TNT, with insurance, you'd be devo if something happened to it on the way over

good places to go. Cottesloe and Claremont Hotel FTW

perth sucks dont come

plenty of jobs as a mechanic over here mate, one of the mechanics who left to be a service advisor was on 27 an hour in a brand new, clean workshop.

sounds like it shouldnt be a prob getting a job then. which was one of my concerns. hooch64- explain?? EVL 51R- yay neighbours! yeah im abit paranoid about sending it on a truck/train. maybe ill drive there lol how much is registration over there?

The irony is Perth was the best before every man and his dog wanted to come here.

hey mate, i bought my car in melb and got it transported here thru CEVA Logistics, cost me $900 ish thru a mate, but would be about $1200 unless u knew sum1, but they did a good job, only thing as with most companies is they have tools that offload the cars, so probly just be there when they do it. other than that all good!

dont drive it, probably do just as much damage, TNT have a car trailer service, you can pay extra for fully enclosed too

thanks 4 all the input so far guys. nah there's no way i would drive it. it was just a thought. my mind would be much more at ease if the car was fully enclosed but its a fair bit more expensive. but yeah generally id just like to get an idea of what people think of the city and surrounding areas. ill be making my own mind up soon tho. oldgold- truth is moving to perth wasnt exactly a plan i had made. id much rather stay in melb, but situations change. but i do get what ur saying.

i did the same move almost 3 years ago... j&j car transport cost me $900 did a good job. i think lexie used them for her car too...
