Default Was Australia your first choice?

To move to? If there were any other countries you considered, what made you decide to move to Australia over the countries you were considering?

Canada was apparently the families first choice then my mum got pregnant with me and it was put off and then they decided on Australia. My mum likes the fact that she wouldnt need her vacuum cleaner in Australia as there was no dust LOL

Why did your mum believe there was no dust? Australia must be one of the dustiest places in the world, I've seen some bad dust storms in South Australia.
