Hello! Judith, Thank you so much for the info. It is great to hear you have two kids and that West Australia is a great place to be with great career opportunities. We do have some friends in Australia. I will definitely try to get some info about housing as well. I will make sure I register at seek.com, and hopefully we will be able to find ourselves a good job and be a part of your country! I will keep in touch with you. Thanks again for all the help.
