There is also anyother mag out called the reds guide to Australia but cannot seem to get it easily my friend has picked one up for me and hopefully should get it from her by the weekend will let you know what it is like and hopefully on online address to order from.

IMO Australia and NZ magazine is now of little use to immigrants and more use to those going on holiday to Oz/NZ.

Anyone agree?

Yes, nice glossy pictures and tiny generalised articles. Still, doesn't stop me buying it every time

Is it like the TV shows constantly going on about how low the cost of living is and how cheap the houses are?

It does seem to be more for those going on holiday.

You can buy it in Borders as well if you have near you.

Hence my earlier statement. When it first started it was geared at immigrants (emigrants?) and had quite a bit of useful info about suburbs etc. Now the immi/emigrants have been shoved to a few-page supplement at the back and the rest is full off guff about hotels to stay in, tourist sights to see etc. And yes, its all based around the all-powerful pound.

I guess there wasn't the readership to justify a big glossy emi/immigrants magazine.

We noticed the same. It seemed much better for the first few issues and there was a lot of information that seemed really useful. Now it seems to be more geared to those going on holiday and there is a little bit of information for people moving at the back but they seem to repeat that each month as well.

Hi guys just to let you know that if you already buy & read the Aus/N.Zealand mag don't bother with the red guides emigrating to Aus/N.Zealand 2007 coz it's written by the same people & most of the stuff in it is already in the mag so now I'm £9.99 down coz I managaed to find a copy & buy it! Ah well such is life.

There is also a Red Guide to Australia in WHSmith.

Some of the articles in Australia and New Zealand mag are handy but it jsut depends on you own individual circumstances.

Thanks for all the replies i bought the mag today some useful stuff but as the posts suggest it is geared towards tourists. But i will definately buy it again as any extra info is useful.

All to do with advertising revenue I would imagine. Still, I bet they sell loads of copies.
