The peeps that left after a week and a half. The main problem was that it was not England. Things like car rego is done slightly different to the tax disc. That sort of thing. Sad but true. The upside is that they are now happier with England.

Re: Don't Come to Australia
I've been in Melbourne two months, my experiences:
1. Customs & Excise charge the earth for inspection and do not do their job. They are trying to charge me $850 for destroying a plastic bucket that they say contains "traces of chemicals" - it's detergent you morons!!
2. Job agents are the worst I have ever encountered, bad manners is just one of their traits.
3. Tram inspectors behave like The Gestapo and are racist, they bully old people and are afraid of youths who DO evade paying.
4. The train operators cannot even gets their clocks in synch let alone run a service!
5. An internet connection is the most expensive of any of the 6 countries I have lived in.
6. The Govt allow a duopoly for the supermarkets, therefore any item is twice the price it should be.
7. Every public official I have had to deal with wants money to do their job.
And I haven't even started on the cost to live here....
Australia - great place to holiday a nightmare to live, I'm off and so is my taxable income.

Re: Don't Come to Australia
Good job I read this post when I did, I was planning on booking my flight soon.
Oh well, at least I now know that I wasted my visa application, and will stay here in the UK.
Thanks for saving me the hassle.

That bit in the foreground is the start of a walk where you can walk through people's gardens. Start at the point you can see in the foreground and head off to the right. The land is owned up to the cliff edge but because of the Queens Chain the public have right of way. They do however try their best to make it look like you're not supposed to be there.

Re: Don't Come to Australia
With my truthful hat on I can tell you that the Mornington Peninsula is a frost free area. So it is unlikely that ice was seen on the rails at Point Nepean. I think Sean was having a dig at "our" seasons.
The peeps that left after a week and a half. The main problem was that it was not England. Things like car rego is done slightly different to the tax disc. That sort of thing. Sad but true. The upside is that they are now happier with England.

What more could I ask for
