this should be relative to where you are currently living, if you already living in a 1st world country than australia might not be the best option for you.

Look at yourself in the mirror. What do you think?

Would you be happy if you discovered that your established life in the UK unravelled down under or did not transplant in some way?

I would definatly recommend it. The lovely laidback friendly ozzies, the low cost of housing, the high quality reasonably priced food. Oz has excellent infrastructure and is an absolute joy to get around, it is also very accesible to the other parts of the world. Better job prospects here than in any other country in the world. Oz has not been hit by the G.F.C so it has a stable economy which is the envy of the world. Education which is way beyond any other system in the developed world with child care facilities which go above and beyond any parents expectations. Really reasonably priced cars which are a joy to drive with build quality which cannot be surpassed. Houses which are really well built for the environment they are in so you wont be cold in winter.

On a more serious note, the best way to find these things out is have a look around this site and others but dont take them to seriously. Try and think why you want to make the change and come over for a break and take a look. You will notice from my first response that the same aspects of uk life which annoy you are still relevant in ozzie life so it really is swings and roundabouts and it is down to personal preference. Good Luck.

The more threads you read on here, the better. You'll find some are very positive, some are quite negative, still more are treading middle ground. In the end you have to make up your own mind but by reading a lot of people's comments you should get quite a wide spectrum of opinins :)

Cost of living - Some say expensive, some say not

Finding a job - Some find it easy, some don't

kids education etc.... - yes Australia has schools. Some say they are great, others don't.

Cheers!!!!
..and I'm not being flippant. Should you move here then Australia will be 'what it is' to you and you alone.

Re: Aussie Migration - Recommend Or NO
 
If im truthfull i have been here five years and i would say it was good for a couple of years then prices have gone up cost of living is silly and the schools talk bull dirt with their polices.
Wages have not gone up with inflation but every thing else has gone up over the rate of inflation.
I belive the Brisbane/Australia is in a bubble and when it bursts then crap will get worse.
Best advise come over for a trip and see and talk to people that live here, also read papers etc to find out more
