It doesn't help when every third post is the work of one 'person' logging in under multiple names.

I know that sometimes when I had a bottle of wine and there is a snake in my house, I felt like I`d live in a nice thatched cottage in Devon.
Until I hit a frosty heathrow airport and had to sit of fag burned seats and pay £8.00 to park the car for 13 minutes!!! :scared:
Anyway - go and have a go, keep you uk passport and see. But if its not for you - please only "warn others" with constructive facts rather that personal winging

and
there is a hoon screeching his tyres up and down the road outside, the phone bill came this week, and its nearly Monday morning....just like Brighton, wonder why I left
By the way, yes I'm homesick, but that doesn't mean I don't like it here

Indeed, just coz some of us miss the Uk, doesn't mean we don't like Oz.

Unfortunately, you just can't win. If you are happy you are simply branded a member of the rose-tinted specs brigade.

I would hope people could see through the BS and make their own minds up?

If America are struggling I am sure we would struggle with the huge distance involved between the nearest regional centre -Townsville? - to get supplies and manpower in place although there is a major base in Townsville.
You're joking! Forget Townsville and head up the escarpment to the Tablelands! Herberton, Atherton, even Kuranda would provide a lovely safe-haven.
