I can't really put it all into words.
I've got plusses for Aus too.. but they don't outweigh the negatives for me.
Plenty of people do like it here, plenty of people don't. Please don't let me put a downer on your already "feeling low". Australia may be what you are looking for, but it's not personally for me, we are all different, and want different things.

Thanks for sharing feelings you havent put me off we have to give it a go or we will always wonder its just the fear of giving every thing up and finding we dont like it but of course that goes for everyone.
I dont know you or your circumstances and if its feasible but Oz is such a big place cant you try moving somewhere else or do you feel the lack of diversity is nationwide? The suburb we stayed in in Perth was fine for families but we have no kids and I couldnt live there in a million years was bored out of my brain there but we travelled and found places where I thought yes this is me i want to be here I particularly fell in love with Albany stayed with some Aussies we had met whilst travelling I now it dosnt have the heat like queensland but we liked it. Then we found the only route we can get into Oz is by STNI so we visited Tas and loved that also.

We are ALL different, but we need to be prepared to go to where we will feel happy, wherever that is.
