Visit Perth!!

I've been looking for pics in google images and Perth seems like a gorgeous place to be. You're lucky, mate.

You know, I was talking to this Italian friend at work and we discussed Australia as a place to visit, and maybe even work and live there... We've heard not so good things about inmigration laws, though. Is that true? it's difficult to get permission to work?
 
It is a fantastic place to live.

Hmm, I don't think it is any more difficult than the next country Lennart. We do have strict customs laws though and if you break them that can be an instant ticket back home. It depends what industry you want to work in, you obviously do all the applications and everything before you book your flights or come to the country. Cost of living is high though - so be aware of that.
 
That is true. Most countries I have visited ask something like that on the arrival form. If you don't lie about it, then there is unlikely to be an issue. They may check your bag though.

Except if you're still running from the law... Then you may prefer to lie about that. Not that I would know...

I don't have a criminal history, so it is good to know that my entry into Australia would not be barred on that basis. And I've had my luggage checked many times -- one more search is no big deal. ;)

Western Oz is great. Perth is a great city. Did some work with the WA Mounted Police and the SES Mounted Section a few years back.

Hopefully, this summer, I'll be getting down to Oz to ride with a number of Cavalry Reenacting units. We have a 4th and 12th Light Horse Brigade here in the us that competes in cavalry competitions.

The problem is if you lied about it and they checked your record, you would be deported immediately.

You thought that having a criminal record was required? :P

Is there any country in the world you don't train with? :P

You'd be surprised at how much I get around. :P

Just in the past 5 years I've competed in SAA (Skill At Arms) in cavalry competitions all over Europe; Tent Pegging in Europe, South Africa, and Jordan in India/Pakistan; assorted horse shows all the eff over the place; given equestrian riding and training clinics in over 20 countries. I get around. The best part is I get paid for most of it and what I don't get paid for is a tax write-off. :w00t:

I've studied equitation and horse training at six major European Haute Ecole riding schools over the years, worked with actual mounted military units in the Russian Federation, etc. It's a great life style.

Ironic joke. I have a PhD in History and Economics which is why I train horses for a living. And, Ironically, my mother always told me that if I got a degree in History I would end up shoveling horse shit for a living. She was almost right. :lol:
