Re: who is sick of Australia?
Probably the wrong forum to ask that question but, yup, am utterly sick of it and have been for years - boredom set in a while ago and even the sunshine gets to be a downer when you have nothing else and you scour the bom site for storm cells every day just to get a few drops of rain. Unfortunately stuck here until the end of my days so if you have a chance to escape, do so now before you get to a point of no return.

Re: who is sick of Australia?
OMG yes!! I hate the place
The people are just too friendly - who do they think they are talking to you when you just want to be left alone.
The weather is too predictable - I hate being able to predict that it'll be cold in winter and hot in the summer. Makes life just too easy.
There's nothing to do here - it's so boring being able to nip down to the beach, or have a BBQ with your friends at the drop of a hat. I don't want to be able to go the zoo and get in for free because I have red hair. I don't want to watch the RAAF show, or go to the Royal show every year with the kids.
The food is really crap - who wants to be able to grow their own veggies in their back yard, or be able to pick a fresh orange or lemon off of the tree every morning.
Customer Service - now don't get me started on this :curse: who wants to be asked how they are when they go to the supermarket? I mean don't they have better things to do like talk to their mate at the next till while chewing gum!! Or totally ignore you and hope you'll go to the next checkout. Also I hate the way they pack your groceries for you - do they not like to see if they can scan it through faster than you can pack it over here? they just arern't normal!!
What is it with this country, I'm going back at the first opportunity.

With one or two notable exceptions it is shite.
