Coz.....I want my kids to stay kids for a little bit longer - My Brother in law lives there - after going to the Gabba and the Suncorp - live sport has never been the same since!

Kids have much more of a chance there - son wants to be a sports physio - daughter wants to be in the fresh air more and do more outdoor stuff!!! Loads of Pro's and not too many Con's.

Coz..... I don't want my hubby to go off to some war torn country and get involved in the politics of it all - coz, after 21 years in the UK Armed Forces, he's had enough - coz......Australia has as much to offer as you want to make it!!

Because it has one third the population, and 120 times the land mass..

I am fed up of feeling like I am always on someones knee.. living in Flat-land, and it's only gonna get worse. All the big buildings near us are being turned into flats, and all planning persmissions for flats are being granted because the council will get more tax from big blocks of flats on small plots of land.

I also wouldn't mind living in a country that has a justice system that works?

2 years for a drunk who threw a great grandad to the pavement, breaking his ribs and killing him, for just getting asked to stop urinating up against a shop window. I love this country.
