Hi there ladies,
Hubby has just signed a 2yr contract with Woodside & we relocate early Sept. We have one little guy (2) & another on the way (4 mo preg). Naturally, I am nervous! Just a few questions, hopefully someone can help me out โบ๏ธ
1. What is the hospital like there? Maternity ward? Brutal honesty please๐โบ๏ธ
2. Are the waiting lists extensive for daycare centres? What are the 'best' ones? I would only send him twice a wk just for that interaction.
3. Woodside take care of the house & utilities but we will be given a few to select from. What areas are best with a family? Which tick most boxes with obviously safety being of utmost importance.
4. My husband and I are both very social people. We're active & he especially loves playing sport- footy, cricket, fishing... You name it. We also both drink (obviously not me for now ๐) what is the community like over there in general- are they quite welcoming?
5. Are groceries & fuel really much more expensive there in comparison to Perth? Bearing in mind our family rely heavily in Perth on fresh fruit & veg. Generally market produce as we tend to be quite health conscious.
6. Are there many playgroups? My little man is hyperactive (sometimes I think that's putting it mildly ๐) so we will want to get amoungst the Karratha kiddies ASAP !
Thanks, and I really look forward to meeting some Karratha mummies!
