Re: [ozmidwifery] RE: Location, location, location
Hi Kirsten My email is [EMAIL PROTECTED] and I would really appreciate any info. We've never been to Oz, so it's really a blind move for us and the more we can learn from people actually there, the better and the easier it will be for us when we move out there.

I have three children (ages 12, 9 and3). We would ideally like an area that is not very large and busy. Perhaps in the country but not isolated. There has to be easy access to good schooling. We do like older properties with a bit of character but this not essential. The kids of course just want to rent a property with a swimming pool!! Is this a really tall order? I hope we're not looking for the impossible. We hope to move out later on this year and ideally we would like to get a property that we'd be happy to settle in for a while (or at least until my work visa runs out) We spend ages on the net looking, but there is just so much to look at. Fremantle area looks nice, is it? If anyone can gives me any pointers on nice areas or even areas best avoided I would really appreciate any advice, we can hardly wait to move out to OZ !!! Kind Regards Karen Crossan
Re: [ozmidwifery] RE: Location, location, location
In reply to Debbie Slater's email HI Debbie My email address is [EMAIL PROTECTED] . It is great to talk with someone who has already done the "impossible" and moved out there. Are you happy? It's such a humungous step and to move to an area we've never even seen, everyone thinks we're mental. Are your children happy and settled? You worry about the kids more than anything,ours are Becks 12, Mary 9 and Archie 3. I really would appreciate any info on nice areas tolive, schooling,cost of living, in fact anything you think would proveuseful then please send it.

Fremantle is nice, but not my cup of tea, personally. I live in the Western suburbs about 5 mins from the beach. Many 'poms' find themselves in the Northern suburbs which is about a 40 min drive max from the central business district in the 'rush hour'. Obviously the further from the centre, the cheaper the housing. Our first priority was to find the kids a school and then we rented and the bought near the school. Please email me offlist and I will be more than happy to help you with anything I can.

[ozmidwifery] Fw: Pearls of Wisdom
- Original Message - From: Lois J Wattis To: Laraine Hood ; Lesley Kuliukas ; Mary Murphy ; Linda Tully ; Susanjane Morrison ; Amy Sznicer ; Jackie Mawson ; Dean Wattis ; Denise Timmerye ; joanne fisher ; Denise Hynd ; Wattis, John Sent: Friday, February 06, 2004 3:24 PM Subject: Pearls of Wisdom $20 Dollar Bill A well-known speaker started off his seminar by holding up a $20.00 bill. In the room of 200, he asked, "Who would like this $20 bill? Hands started going up. He said, "I am going to give this $20 to one of you, but first, let me do this. He proceeded to crumple up the $20 dollar bill. He then asked, "Who still wants it?" Still the hands were up in the air. " Well", he replied, "What if I do this?" And he dropped it on the ground and started to grind it into the floor with his shoe. He picked it up, now crumpled and dirty. "Now, who still wants it?" Still the hands went into the air. "My friends", he said, "We have all learned a very valuable lesson here. No matter what I did to the money, you still wanted it because it did not decrease in value. It was still worth $20. Many times in our lives, we are dropped, crumpled, and ground into the dirt by the decisions we make and the circumstances that come our way. We feel as though we are worthless. But no matter what has happened or what will happen, you will never lose your value. Dirty or clean, crumpled or finely creased, you are still priceless to those who DO LOVE you. The worth of our lives comes not in what we do or who we know, but by WHO WE ARE. You are special - Don't EVER forget it." Count your blessings, not your problems. Never be afraid to try something new. And remember, amateurs built the ark... professionals built the Titanic! Lois WattisCommunity Midwifewww.birthjourney.com Nature Bkgrd.jpg
