Re: Australia - what you need to know
Incidentally, had an interesting chat with a top Doctor in Melbourne today. Discussed the prescriptions that are available in Australia. Noticed that I can't get the creams that really helped me with my psoriasis back in the UK here in Australia. She said that Australia is 7 or 8 years behind with this stuff (they were using stuff in London when she was working there 8 years ago that is only just becoming available in Australia now) and that it is because the companies that make the stuff have a hard time getting things past the government's generally quite over-the-top stringent rules and regs. .
Made by a Qld Company. Cleared up my daughters problem, not free like in the UK, but it worked.

Thanks for the tip but I have a chronic condition. Things like that (over the counter stuff) works okay for people with a bit of eczema but if you have true psoriasis you need something much stronger!

Re: Australia - what you need to know
You mention that you used to not like Australia so much. Similar to my Aunt who has been here 30 years. It's interesting to note how people often end up going way too far the other way as a means of coping/compensating/sticking it out. Seen the same thing with her.

Re: Australia - what you need to know
This is the kind of thing that makes you look silly and defensive about Australia. Of course people know where Australia is but perhaps when they live there they begin to find that it's a pain to have to fly several hours to pretty much any destination.
Also, I wasn't talking about a comparison in flying time to LA. If you are not aware that the UK is near a lot more places than Australia is then you are fool. If you are aware of that, then you have to realise that you have no point.

You didn't say from Most places, you said absolutely everywhere.
Of course I am aware that the UK is nearer to a lot more places than Australia is. But if it was a problem to me I wouldn't have moved back here again.
Tell me where your everywhere is ? It obviously doesn't include LA then!
Back up your statement, instead of calling people who think you are wrong fools.
In the UK, we used to fly several hours to go on overseas holidays, what is the difference ?

Re: Australia - what you need to know
Not content with changing my words, you really are clutching at straws now.
You mention "going way too far the other way"... read my comments carefully.
I say I like it here, I know the best places to shop here, I have found an area with great weather, etc., is that really going too far ?
Would you prefer only the negatives of Australia to be heard ?
Do the positives really hurt that much ?

Re: Australia - what you need to know
If it was a case of 'coping/compensating/sticking it out' why did I come back.

It would seem so.

Re: Australia - what you need to know
Beg your pardon, I was confused there.
You don't think there are any negatives.

Re: Australia - what you need to know
Already seen a Doctor, one of Australia's best - probably why she was very balanced about the pro's and con's of Australia and wasn't on a relentless mission to cast Australia as the eternal good guy.

Re: Australia - what you need to know
But every time a negative is offered, you try to spin it as either untrue or as a positive. If you concur that there are negatives, why always seek to disprove them?

If people choose that course of life, they spend all their lifes energy just complaining about things, being negative and not enjoying life.
