After many months, much paper work and loads of prayers, we've finally made it to Perth!
We spent our last week in South Africa visiting Stephan's parents on their farm in Standerton.
On 2 May, we started our journey to Perth which comprised of:
Lugging around much luggage
And lots of sitting around.
After a 12 hour plane trip, we finally landed in Perth, where we started the last leg of our journey to my parent's newly built home in Clarkson.
The first couple of days were spent recovering from the trip, while Stephan impressed the in-laws with his cooking skills.
Most of our time these past few weeks has been spent filling in application forms - we needed to open bank accounts (which proved very easy without FICA to worry about), apply for Medicare (State medical aid) and convert our SA driver's licenses - which thankfully, from last year, can be directly converted without a practical test!
Although public transport in Perth is very good, we still needed to buy a car, and as you can see it caused much excitement:
We've also applied for many many jobs (I feel like I could write cover letters professionally), but more about that, and some sightseeing next time.
For now, greetings from Clarkson!
