Default houses in oz/canada

dont know if this the right forum but just have a question. i checked out australia on google maps pretty much every city/ town and for some reason i feel that houses located in far away towns seemed to be little inferior to what we have here in canada. i mean no matter which town you choose in canada houses are beautiful etc but it not so the case when it comes to australian towns. would like to hear from canadians in australia and also australians in canada. i have heard people the quality of houses just drops on the oitskirys of the city and far away towns can someone proove me wroong or do cqnadians have regrets moving to oz

thank you

If you you're going to base your move to Australia based on the inferiority of houses in far away towns I would say don't bother with the move.

And your statement that noo matter which toown you choose in Canada houses are beautiful? Utter crap. I've lived in some real shitholes in my time in Canada.

Certainly if I had any regrets about our move to Australia it would not be because of the comparative beauty of the houses.

Are you planning on moving over or are you just making bizarre statements because you can? I've not been to Canada but I've seen some gorgeous properties in random areas, some crap as well but I don't think that's an Australian phenomenon.

Check out Berry in NSW. Come back and let me know when spot an inferior home.


*I note that some agents are claiming that Berry is 90min from Sydney CBD. I guess that they must all have helicopters.

Well there's one opposite the station which doesn't look the best - to me anyway, but Berry is a lovely looking village.

Scots come from Scotland. Scotch comes from a bottle.

Scotch works for me so I'm sticking with it.

The fact that it also winds the Scotch up is a bonus!
