Thompsons Go Aussie

The Thompson's story resonated with us so deeply it's fair to say they were the deciding factor in our own decision to try and make the move from the UK to Australia.

Jazz and Martyn made the move from Cambridge to Perth with their 4 children on a 189 permanent residency visa.

They are very active on Instagram and offer great insight into family life in Perth.

Some Information About Western Australia

Western Australia, Australia’s largest state, is renowned for its vast expanses, stunning coastline, and mineral wealth.

Perth, its capital, is a modern city with a relaxed lifestyle. The state’s economy heavily relies on mining, particularly iron ore, gold, and natural gas, driving global exports.

Its remote regions offer unique biodiversity, including the ancient rock formations of the Kimberley and the biodiversity hotspot of the Southwest.

Perth has been historically attractive to British expatriates due to its climate, lifestyle, and economic opportunities.

We are so grateful for the Thompson’s content and thoughts on Australia. As a family, it’s both inspiring and reassuring to hear from people in similar circumstances, who have been brave enough to make the move across the world.

They were also the first people to encourage us to consider Perth as an option to relocate to, as we originally had our hearts set on Brisbane and the wider Queensland area.

Their YouTube video with Ross @thatjohnstonlife oozed positivity and almost gave us permission to let ourselves at least try this whole process out.

Over on Instagram, Jazz is a guru on all things schooling, days out, activities to do with the kids and just general top tips for the move down under. She is also a midwife and sonographer so any nurses who are considering the move or who are in the process of doing so should definitely check out their page.

As a family, they have embraced every day they have had so far in Australia and relish the opportunities they now have right on their doorstep.

The mantra of ‘we worked really hard to get here so let’s enjoy it’ resonates with us, even at the beginning of our visa journey, and serves as a reminder to be patient and keep moving forward one step at a time.

The reels and photos of their morning coffee and walk along the beach before the day starts is something which really appeals to our souls!
