If you want beer, check out Lambs Go Bar on Greeves Street just off Smith St in Fitzroy.
If you can't find a beer there to suit you then you might as well give up! It's a great little pub too.
Check out their drinks list

Good luck in your search! Lambs is a dangerous place - far too many things to try, and once you start working your way down the list...

Which makes me think the majority would be disgruntled immigrants because I don't think Aussies off to London or the USA for a few years for work would tick that box.

if I remember correctly from my Tourism studies here in Perth, permanently is when you intend to be away for more than 1 year.

According to ABS:
Permanent departures are:
* Australian residents (including former settlers) who on departure state that they are departing permanently.

Re: who is sick of Australia?
In recent years, for the first time in Australia's history, the numbers of 'native' Australians leaving the country outweighs the numbers of migrants returning to their place of birth... not sure if this is a reflection on Australia itself or just evidence of the greater mobility of people in a global economy.

A 5 minute walk to the beach every morning with the dog.
People stopping and chatting to you all the time and being so happy at 6 a.m in the morning.
Walking along the beautiful beach with islands in the background, plam trees and the rainforest as a backdrop.
Even dogs are chilled out here and it has rubbed off on my dog..he is officially a liad back ozzie dog now!
Being invited to BBQ's, boat trips or out for a meal on the esplanade.
Wearing shorts and T.Shirt for work and getting paid more for a 4 day week than I did for a 5 day in the U.K
Long, winding quiet coastal and country roads...terrible for motorbiking!
A traffic jam of 6 cars on the way to work, I must contact transport dept.
Laying by the pool on days off surrounded by palm trees and still feeling like I am on holiday.
Having the choice of city, beach, rainforest, barrier reef or countryside every weekend. How are you suposed to decide what to do?
Free festivals, free swimming lagoons, free yoga etc etc..not used to getting anything free!
Being able to reply on the weather.
Well, I dont know how much more of this happiness I can stand. better go back to U.k and be a whinging old pom...

Re: who is sick of Australia?
By a long way...
All experiences are welcome. I just feel sorry for the sods who could have done OK here if they had made better choices, or those who do not find what they are looking for on their return.
Australia is not heaven for everyone.
Some people do not think everything is wonderful.
Not everyone finds they have a better life once they get here.
Not everyone can just "go home".
It would be appreciated if people could take a step back and remember that everyones experiences are individual, and they are all welcome on this site. All we ask is that you are all considerate towards each other, and you all remember to respect the views of those around you.
