Welcome to Perth! Every bus you see in the CBD is FREE within the free transit zone, which is from the causeway where your hotel is, to Kings Park. Go out the door of your hotel onto Adelaide Tce, cross the road and there are bus stops directly opposite. Hop on a bus and hop off near Barrack or William St. Takes 5min. Same coming back, hop on any bus on the city side heading East, ring the bell at plain St or ask the driver to drop you at Fraser Suites. Really easy. You'll get used to the heat, it happens every summer, but it is not always 45deg C (120F) in summer. Chill out, relax. Best place in the world to live. You'll love it here and will appreciate the 'laid back' lifestyle.
We were in your position in Oct 2005, a little over 19 years ago. My girls were 7 and 2 at the time. It is really tough arriving in a heat wave, my heart goes out to you! Expect a roller-coaster of emotions, and that's ok. But stick with it. It truly is the best place on earth to live and bring up kids. Just take it one day at a time! I'm in Perth, if you get stuck with anything let me know on a reply.
From where you are, look for the CAT buses. They are free and do laps of the city so you wouldn’t have to walk into town. They go up Hay St which is next to the park out your window. And they have AC 🙂. Make sure you sunscreen ears. The best way to public transport to the beach would be train to North Fremantle, then it’s a short walk. There’s places to eat there as well.
Its a good idea to keep a 30 or 40 pack of those zooper dooper type icy poles in the freezer at all times , even in tassie when the grandkids visit a couple of times a year they go straight for the freezer to get one before they even stop to say hello 😂
Welcome to Australia! Just found your channel,as an Australian it's really interesting to see your experience of moving here. I have often thought about doing the reverse of you and moving to the UK! The heat here is alot, even for us Aussies who have always had it. Try and get alot done early morning or later in the day 🙂
Welcome to Perth - the best city in Australia. I hope you're settling in well and that everything works out for you. We migrated here when my son was about your son's age so I know what you're going through! Good luck.
Welcome to Perth!! A good hint I was given when I came to Perth was always carry a water bottle for hydration. Especially in a heat wave!! We are so lucky to have you here in our community!!
I've really been looking forward to this one, and I've even been refreshing UA-cam to see if it's up yet. 🤩 Hopefully, you'll all find a new normal quickly. In the meantime, don't forget to breathe! Lol 😊 Looking forward to the next one already now 🥰
@@mstmy7082 our internet speeds (or lack of) meant this took a whole 16 hours to upload 😂😂 i’m editing and scheduling in the next one which is a bit longer with it being our first week(!) and doing it asap so it doesn’t delay any longer haha 🥰
You picked a tough time to arrive with this heatwave, but it will pass and it will all get a bit easier. A car will make a massive difference for you all. Sick with it, i promise it is worth it. Ive been here 15 years and wouldnt go back.
Welcome to Perth! Make sure you take advantage of the free WA museums this summer (until end March I believe). Boolar Bardip (the main one) is not far from you in town and kids will enjoy it too. And its air conditioned. Two Freo ones are accessible from the Freo train station (and you can go to Bathers Beach at the same time). Lots to see and do :) x
🏴 🇬🇧 to 🇦🇺..A Big welcome to your new home in this Amazing state of WA! Use the FREE Cat buses guys 👍 & If you go out & are boiling hot when you get home...jump into a nice COLD shower to get that body temp down 👍 ..as a kid we didn't have AC at all, now I'm 60 & renting again, I dont have AC again so that's my tip for when your AC isnt cooling you quick enough 🥵 ..it does the job for me now 🚿😄 .,oh! having your video in 'flipped/mirrored mode' is really disorientating 🫨😵💫 ...we are downunder here but not back to front 😉😁 Ps on a cooler day, go down to the river to Barrack St jetty(where the Bell Tower is and where Rottnest Ferries are) & catch the river ferry across to South Perth, then it's only a 5min walk to Perth Zoo 🦘 Stay cool 😎🥶✌️
wtf no AC mate thats criminal these days ,they flip the vid so they dont get a copy right strike mate ,you can get v2nd hand air con on gumtree for $60 🥶
to save trips or even time you can do Click and collect orders at Kmart, Coles and woolworths you can get same day deliveries, go slow..take it easy especially in this heat! only 1 more month and it should start to slowly cool down. you guys got this!
43 is brutal ,36 an up aircon Netfix cold cold drinks,zooper doopers ,beach after 6pm ,tip-4 your new house ,start your aircon early if its an evaporative an buy those cheap $30 white fans for kids rooms(noise helps them sleep) and if you get pets big water bowl outside always.welcome guy's
Everything will fall into place, and you will just forget about all these teething problems! I had a melt down in the middle of Coles the first week we arrived, as I didn’t recognise some stuff…,,I laugh about it now! You’ll see, stick positively and you will settle down before term one is over!
Welcome to Perth! 🙋🇦🇺🎉 Absolutely avoid trying to do a beach trip on public transport! I love the waist clips for jeans idea, I have that problem too! The kids enjoyed KMart, next stop a Bunnings, they will be fine! Watch the unhealthy snacks, you 1st need to hydrate! A big day done, hope you sleep well! 😌
Cheers to Perth ❤ Transperth bus public transport free buses are called 'cat' & go by colour ie blue cat goes to kings park. & check out water sprinkles that come out of park ground or cement grounds in city. Great for kids
Same as many people below welcome to Perth! It can be a bit hard to start with, especially with the young ones and when you first arrive as you are jet lagged and don't have all your belongings around you. Me and my family arrived from the UK in 2013 and I wouldn't go back now. It took me a while to settle but it's truly a great place to live. Food is a bit more expensive and there is less choice but that's one of the differences you get used to. Some fresh food is much more seasonal here compared with the UK. I found in some ways it's better as we just learned to cook meals from the base ingredients instead - which is probably better. One day at a time and stick with it and then one day soon it will all fall into place.
I've walked for 40 minutes from my house to Canberra city..and 40 minutes back with my 4 children. Every day on the school holidays. This is the reality in Australia. They will get used to it. And they will grow more resilient.
I would be more than happy to help you all out but theres ine problem. You arrived on the wrong side of the continent. 😜 Glad to see your all excited and happy to finally arrive. Your spirits are holding considering the stress and extreme heat. I know you and the family will do well living here from just watching your video. Can't wait to see how you settle in and get to be in your own place. 😎
The ham you bought there… they usually go on sale at Coles or Woolies for about $2.50 a packet. I won’t buy it until it’s on sale. You’ll get used to what to buy and when to buy it to get decent prices, but it will take a bit of time to adjust. Don’t worry. ❤
Woolworths and Coles have weekly Specials Catalogues, getting shaved ham or polony etc is good to get from the Deli section as its sold by weight and kilo prices. Another good place for Fruit and Veg is a Spudshed, and they use Uber for delivery.. We have 2 big Costcos in Perth too.
Welcome to Australia! Summer temperatures can be brutal but spring and autumn will be much more enjoyable. Summer tips: Stay indoors with air conditioning during the hottest parts of the day. Young kids can get heat stroke more easily than adults so I wouldn’t recommend taking the wee ones outside during the hottest parts of the day. Get up early and do things in the morning when it is still cooler. Do walks outdoors in the late evening once the sun has started going down. It’s best to just find indoor activities in the afternoons during the peak of summer - everywhere will be air conditioned.
Been following you guys since your first video related to moving to Australia. It's almost hard to believe that you are all actually finally here! Get rid of those baseball caps and get the whole family wide brimmed Sun hats. My old man is back at the Cancer Centre on the 29th for his 4th operation getting Cancers removed from the side of his face, ears and neck from not being protected by a wide brimmed hat........ certainly don't want to see any of you be in the same situation, especially your kids.😢
Welcome to Perth , it’s a great city but watch the summer heat it can be so intense, I’ve been living here since I was five years old and I’m 55 now , enjoy , you will be rite :)
You guys need to be kind to yourselves in this initial settling in period. Get an Uber. Don’t drag those kids around in that heat. Aust heat can be brutal so it’s ok to treat yourselves with an Uber, taxi or hire car so you can get all your settling in jobs done.
Well you're here so welcome. Jet lag is going to knock you about a bit, but you'll acclimatise in no time. Sunscreen should be SPS 50 rated, don't get the fancy coconut oils as they do nothing. The kids will probably get used the heat faster than you but make sure they drink plenty of water as they can dehydrate quite quickly. I guess you have your car by now so you can get around and see the place before the real fun starts.
Tips for hot Australian summers: never leave home without a water bottle, wide-brimmed hat, sunscreen applied, and if it’s sunny wear light coloured clothing. And remember that you can still burn on an overcast day. Stay out of the sun as much as possible and take advantage of shade, the pool, and air conditioned spaces. When I’m feeling too hot to cope, I think back to my Scottish and English ancestors who arrived here from 1830s to 1880s. I imagine the women wearing heavy black long-sleeved dresses, no aircon in their homes, having to cook meals over a fire, no cars, etc etc and the men doing hard manual labour in the heat. As a society we really have become soft.
Welcome to Australia, you'll be fine. remember you and your family are just going through period of adjustment. Just keep in mind why you moved to Australia. When you finally get settled into your new house you will get into a routine again. BTW no Honey Soy Chicken for Mikey.
Keep those woolies paper bags. Im not sure if you know we dont use disposable plastic bags in supermarkets, so you have to take your own. Canvas are best but those paper bags will do for now. Absolute priority is a car. In this state you cant do anything without one. If youre used to it and know how to deal with this heat you can walk around, but if youre not used to this heat (and its very different to the eastern states heat, because it will literally sear your skin and you can feel it), you cant really go anywhere. Go over to Victoria park car yards. Its probably the best spot for cars in Perth (Im not from that area - or those car yards by the way!). Dont shop in the CBD. The shops arent very good there. ps full brim hats are better. I know people feel "cooler" in baseball style caps, but if you wear baseball caps, even if you dont get skin cancer, in 50 years or so you'll start getting skin bumps that feel like scabs (but arent) all over the skin that has been exposed to the sun.
That is the WACA they can see, but they don't play Test matches there any more. They used to play cricket on the WACA before moving to Optus stadium. AFL used to be played at Subiaco Oval but is now at Optus stadium too.
Welcome tae Perth Australia😊 Hope you managed to see the Australia Day fireworks from your windows🎉 or joined in at Langley park. Please, whenever you get your car, never leave any valuables ( Wallet/purse, phones, laptop etc, loose money, jewellery etc,) wherever you go, even at the beach. Or at the very least, in plain sight. Same goes for your handbag or purse on a shopping trolley or pram👍 It’s also against the law to leave children under 12 unattended in the car, even for a short time, especially in summer,👍😊 Have a great stay living and working in Perth Australia, awra best😊
Check out weather for WA wheat belt for next two weeks so you and the kids are well prepared. Almost certainly hotter than Perth - low forties. Working in FE it always seems February start of academic year is always really hot. Hope your primary and secondary schools have good A/C
All of you need a broad brim hat, sunscreen is OK, the hat is total protection. Welcome home, may they be more Ups, and the downs not yoo bad, you all looked very tired.
I live in Perth and would love to show you around if you need!!! I can help however you’d like I am a 33 year old physio and counsellor and babysat a lot growing up so would love to help your gorgeous kids too!!!!!!
When you have a car highly reccomend you taking the kids to swim at hillarys they have a inner beach safe for little kids and lots of sun shades and a shady play area, and lots of places to eat, they even have an English lolly shop
Search out a wholesaler for meat, ie dorsogna in Fremantle. And if you need a car in the afternoon now and then please let me know, you break it you buy it.
G'day love, welcome to Ozz! Struth love you wanna get out of the big smoke ASAP. Charge like a wounded bull there! You gotta be jokin! Crikey you wanna head bush to real Ozz. Those city folk not the real Ozz. Bring the tin lids and hubby up north - we'll have a couple of emu's in the esky for ya - can't go wrong. Tin lids can take a ride in my 18 wheeler - they can ride in the trailer with the sheep and the dog - they'd have a screamin ball! Hey I could get the 22 out and bag a few roos for ya - nothin like an authentic Ozzy roo cook up washed down with a bevy of emus! Struth love you can bag a few roos for your self - take em back to pommie land if you want. Crikey me and me sheila can't wait - well deck out the sleeper cab on my truck for ya, I'll get the sheila to kick out the chooks - show you some real up north hospytallity!
Hi, Welcome to Australia!!! we need more families like yours !!!! thanks for the nice video and I hope that everything works out for you, in this country its a car based transport system and you really need a car in Australia to take advantage of the place, its been that way since the 1950's and now public transport is really not efficient. The best beaches in Perth are Rockingham beach for little children, and Hillarys boat harbour because those places have calm water no waves. The best doctor in perth is North beach medical clinic, Dr David Storer, the best super market is Farmers Market at Como, the best place to walk is Fremantle markets, the best museum is the Shipwreck museum in Fremantle, and also the Maritime museum, two different museums free within a short walk. Maritime museum is air conditioned. best long walk is in the Botanic gardens but is a bloody long walk, best cafe chain is DOME, they're everywhere and they're generally pretty good and not too expensive, best two adult meal is in the Casino smorgasbord restaurant it cost 80 dollars each so don't take little kids but its very good. best swimming is a day pass in the casino hotel pools but it aint cheap but you can spend a day and take your own food. This country is the best place for your kids to be in the world in my opinion. best dentistry is in Cambodia flight for 400 bucks, best holiday Thailand same price flights from perth, get yourself a medicare card for your family as soon as possible. Don't eat the food or drink the water and you will be fine, thanks for the nice video of your nice family. take serious heed of the sun, hats, sunscreen and long sleeves, because the sun is serious and sunburn is the same as being burnt in a fire, it really hurts. Kids need a swimming class immediately if they're going to live in Australia, don't forget that in that river near you there are sharks that can bit your legs right off, so don't swim in dark water in a river ever in Australia, shallow water beaches are safer. every kid gets sick here for a short illness, its a virus they're not used to, it passes, keep them cool, they'll be okay, stay inside on days, its sounds trite but its not, shopping mall at Karinyup is very good.
Australia is not cheap at the moment but there will be a change soon but the life style is way better than the uk more things to do out side amazing weather beaches you got the Great Barrier Reef when you get settled travel around Australia plus make sure you kids wear hats all the time when it’s very hot I love the hot weather going to the beach and much more it will take a while before you settle in there are a lot off Britt’s here Swedan Canada Germany who moved here for good

Welcome to Perth! The start of the rest of your lives. The end of your 10 year quest. The kids will love the lifestyle. Keep the posts coming.
Its a good idea to keep a 30 or 40 pack of those zooper dooper type icy poles in the freezer at all times , even in tassie when the grandkids visit a couple of times a year they go straight for the freezer to get one before they even stop to say hello 😂

Welcome home. You will have to adjust to the heat and slower pace, it just takes time. There's no rush.
Everything will fall into place, and you will just forget about all these teething problems! I had a melt down in the middle of Coles the first week we arrived, as I didn’t recognise some stuff…,,I laugh about it now! You’ll see, stick positively and you will settle down before term one is over!
Welcome to Perth! 🙋🇦🇺🎉 Absolutely avoid trying to do a beach trip on public transport! I love the waist clips for jeans idea, I have that problem too!

Hope the kids thank you when they grow up, best move for their futures getting out of the uk!
Welcome to Australia, 1 tip- wide brim hat is a must, especially for the kids.
Wow those views are incredible and hope you’re all doing alright.
The last heatwave the UK had to deal with was back in the 70s so can’t relate 😂

I'm happy for you. You look very very huppy.
You don't need to walk all that way. There are regular free buses that go right past your building into town...
Welcome to Perth ! ❤
Welcome to Perth , it’s a great city but watch the summer heat it can be so intense, I’ve been living here since I was five years old and I’m 55 now , enjoy , you will be rite :)

You can shop at Aldi...Find the shops in Perth..
Cold meats and salad is what some Aussies have in the really hot weather.
Welcome aboard. The good stuff starts now.
allways remember to slip slop slap guys our sun here is brutal, we have a no hat no play rule in schools here
Welcome to Perth.. Its pretty warm atm :)
You have to take the kids the zoo. Had plenty of shaded areas with all the trees.
Well you're here so welcome. Jet lag is going to knock you about a bit, but you'll acclimatise in no time. Sunscreen should be SPS 50 rated, don't get the fancy coconut oils as they do nothing.

Welcome to Perth. Use the free buses. You are here at the hottest time Jan/Feb. Take it easy and make sure you wear a hat and carry water
You can get sunscreen from Kmart
You can get a free cat bus from the city! Down to Adelaide terrace. 😊
Perth heat is brutal still not used it after living here all my life.
Your Late ..my great grandfather and great grandmother arrived in 1880
As convicts or cops? Bad luck either way
@brinjoness3386 are you jealous .
Awesome location is that the WACA oval ? The big sporting ground where they play cricket and AFL ?
That is the WACA they can see, but they don't play Test matches there any more. They used to play cricket on the WACA before moving to Optus stadium. AFL used to be played at Subiaco Oval but is now at Optus stadium too.
You can get a free CAT bus from East Perth to the city centre.
Welcome tae Perth Australia😊
Hope you managed to see the Australia Day fireworks from your windows🎉 or joined in at Langley park.
Please, whenever you get your car, never leave any valuables ( Wallet/purse, phones, laptop etc, loose money, jewellery etc,) wherever you go, even at the beach. Or at the very least, in plain sight.
Same goes for your handbag or purse on a shopping trolley or pram👍
It’s also against the law to leave children under 12 unattended in the car, even for a short time, especially in summer,👍😊
Have a great stay living and working in Perth Australia, awra best😊
Australia is the best place ever
Check out weather for WA wheat belt for next two weeks so you and the kids are well prepared. Almost certainly hotter than Perth - low forties. Working in FE it always seems February start of academic year is always really hot. Hope your primary and secondary schools have good A/C
I wasn't going to post until the video finished BUT.......... PLEASE close that Fridge door AND FREEZER!!!!! Arrrggghhh.......🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
BTW love your posts and am looking forward to this new journey you are on! HUGS and WELCOME!
How did you arrange your accommodation/ housing? Is the apartment temp or your main residence?
Mikey is brave wearing black
all buses in CBD are free without smart rider. That means east perth to west perth
should also be northbridge but not sure where that edga e is. umm line of CAT transport I suspect. But not sure
All of you need a broad brim hat, sunscreen is OK, the hat is total protection.
Welcome home, may they be more Ups, and the downs not yoo bad, you all looked very tired.
❤
You're certified Sangropers now. Welcome, fill your boots.
thats not a heat wave its summer
Make sure to protect the young ones from the sun
Get yourself and the kids a few hats each and water bottles, Keep your body covered as much as possible as it very easy to get sunburn. 🙂
Be careful of the heat! And sun! So hot!
Once you’re settled & have a vehicle, you’ll be able to get groceries from Aldi again, it’s a lot cheaper than Woolies
Welcome to the middle of nowhere! : )
you need a car asap. especially in summer
I live in Perth and would love to show you around if you need!!! I can help however you’d like
I am a 33 year old physio and counsellor and babysat a lot growing up so would love to help your gorgeous kids too!!!!!!
And welcome!!!!!!!
This is the aussie way 👌
The city is a bit dojjy
You cannot make up your mind in 48 hours!
When you have a car highly reccomend you taking the kids to swim at hillarys they have a inner beach safe for little kids and lots of sun shades and a shady play area, and lots of places to eat, they even have an English lolly shop
You will always pay more if you want it delivered..
Happy Australia Day,l now you have every right to go and get drunk
You will always need hats and sunscreen. We have lethal UV LEVELS HERE.
I’d either go out early or later out of the peak sun. 43 is way too hot for anyone.
Hope you don't like it to many immigrants here now. Clogging up our roads and hospital waiting lists and taking our jobs.
Aldi is nowhere as good as in uk they don’t sell there cheap German brands like uk and very pore selection of most items
Please avoid woolies and coles where possible, iga cost more but they employ.
Search out a wholesaler for meat, ie dorsogna in Fremantle. And if you need a car in the afternoon now and then please let me know, you break it you buy it.
G'day love, welcome to Ozz! Struth love you wanna get out of the big smoke ASAP. Charge like a wounded bull there! You gotta be jokin! Crikey you wanna head bush to real Ozz. Those city folk not the real Ozz. Bring the tin lids and hubby up north - we'll have a couple of emu's in the esky for ya - can't go wrong.

Hi, Welcome to Australia!!! we need more families like yours !!!! thanks for the nice video and I hope that everything works out for you, in this country its a car based transport system and you really need a car in Australia to take advantage of the place, its been that way since the 1950's and now public transport is really not efficient. The best beaches in Perth are Rockingham beach for little children, and Hillarys boat harbour because those places have calm water no waves. The best doctor in perth is North beach medical clinic, Dr David Storer, the best super market is Farmers Market at Como, the best place to walk is Fremantle markets, the best museum is the Shipwreck museum in Fremantle, and also the Maritime museum, two different museums free within a short walk. Maritime museum is air conditioned. best long walk is in the Botanic gardens but is a bloody long walk, best cafe chain is DOME, they're everywhere and they're generally pretty good and not too expensive, best two adult meal is in the Casino smorgasbord restaurant it cost 80 dollars each so don't take little kids but its very good. best swimming is a day pass in the casino hotel pools but it aint cheap but you can spend a day and take your own food. This country is the best place for your kids to be in the world in my opinion. best dentistry is in Cambodia flight for 400 bucks, best holiday Thailand same price flights from perth, get yourself a medicare card for your family as soon as possible. Don't eat the food or drink the water and you will be fine, thanks for the nice video of your nice family. take serious heed of the sun, hats, sunscreen and long sleeves, because the sun is serious and sunburn is the same as being burnt in a fire, it really hurts. Kids need a swimming class immediately if they're going to live in Australia, don't forget that in that river near you there are sharks that can bit your legs right off, so don't swim in dark water in a river ever in Australia, shallow water beaches are safer. every kid gets sick here for a short illness, its a virus they're not used to, it passes, keep them cool, they'll be okay, stay inside on days, its sounds trite but its not, shopping mall at Karinyup is very good.
Australia is not cheap at the moment but there will be a change soon but the life style is way better than the uk more things to do out side amazing weather beaches you got the Great Barrier Reef when you get settled travel around Australia plus make sure you kids wear hats all the time when it’s very hot I love the hot weather going to the beach and much more it will take a while before you settle in there are a lot off Britt’s here Swedan Canada Germany who moved here for good
