Default going off the idea!

maybe its a combination of things, maybe its because i'm exhausted after just completing a thesis, maybe its the lovley summers day we have just had, maybe its the negative posts on this site, maybe its old age (38), maybe finding out how hard it is to get a job in perth (the place of my dreams) or maybe i have just become disolusioned with the whole thing!
who knows and most probaly nobody cares!
as my granny says, "sleep on it and things will look different in the morning"

You have to narrow a view on where to go in Australia in fact the world , Perth is a hick city set in the middle of nowhere .
The rest of Australia looks down at WA , but if you think your life would be so perfect in Perth go for it .

They have trouble here chasing debt from state to state , back to the UK or the other way round no way.

You would do well in the ACT its full of goverment funded jobs , but its not what you are looking for .
Try the big city ,Sydney its not a cheap place to live , but it has the best wages in Australia and many jobs .
Then retire either in QLD or WA , after you have earned enough capital to settle down.

Well we could swop if you fancy Joondalup , but I have sorted out a short term rental in Kinver (Staffs) to tide us over.

They call them Public service appointments same as the British Civil Service , most are created just to make kingdoms for people to eat public money .
The ACT is the hub of Federial Goverment , any other country would have made Sydney its Capital not here .
ACT is famous for goverment jobs and Australias Porn industry , the one place its legal to make and sell porn flims.
Well my pads still up for sale in the CBD in Joondalup so hurry over , swamp views near what passes as the cafe strip and national parkland.
2 storie town house 3 bedrooms , 2.5 bathrooms, very cheap.
