Hi Ginger, I'm a Perth-ite born and bred. We are currently looking at relocating to Hong Kong for a bit, but I saw your post in here and thought I'd offer my knowledge, so any issues concerns, feel free to ask. In terms of good public schools and good areas to live....depending on your budget, the best suburubs tend to be the Western Suburbs (near the coast) but they are also the most expensive. One thing about Perth is that it's very spread out, so you can certainly get some lovely areas, but they are a fair way out, so it depends on where the job is City ?? or elsewhere, and budget. Two of the best public high schools in Perth are Applecross High School and Rossmoyne Senior High School, both of which are not far from where I live. The areas around here to get into these schools are Applecross, Mount Pleasant, Ardross, Melville, Shelley, Rossmoyne, Como, South Perth. As I said though, these are some of the more expensive areas in the city to live.
In terms of furniture, there are plenty of storage facilities around to store your things if you just want to rent a furnished property instead of moving all your furniture around all the time.
Anyway, if there are any specific questions you have, feel free to message me and I'll help you as much as I can.
Regards
