Re: 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
thank you

Re: houses in oz/canada
Seriously, this thread is kinda silly. What we're missing in terms of standard of living? Nothing. If it was that bad, we would have moved back.

Really? Where do I make sweeping, often ludicrous, statements about things I have no experience of?

Yellowknife was better than what? Yellowknife makes Edmonton look like a cosmopolitan paradise.

Re: houses in oz/canada
I mean no doubt australia is a good country and for people coming from developing countries it provides a good standard of living, but i just wanted to compare the standard of living with other western countires such as canada and u.s/u.k.
would love to know more, if there are shitty places in the u.s i m sure there are! but for people have lived in the u.s would they ever move to australia? if yes? why?
I am remember dorothy posting in one thread, saying she would not have moved to australia in the first place,( if you dont mind, may i ask why). i also know that u.k was your 1st choice but is australia giving you what you thought you would have in the u.k(except for the climate).
Thank you all once again for your brilliant answers.

Re: houses in oz/canada
i came across this other forum and they havve a thread i hate australia. mostly brits complaining that oz is no way like uk and some even feel they just moved to vietnam or iraq. wonder what the brits/ canadians make of that?
i would not mind moving but dont want to feel like just moved to iraq especially if it meant to give up what we have in canada.
are there more towns like coorey in oz? i did chexk out the shitty canadian towns but i have to say even thought they might hqve broken bouses but nothing asbad as coorey. on the other side berry in oz was really beautiful. wonder if 90 % -95% of oz is like berry when u see in person.

Re: houses in oz/canada
Don't be daft."give up what we have in canada." If you enjoy living in a fridge for a large part of the year then stay in Canada. What do you believe you have in Canada that you don't get in Australia, excluding frostbite of course.
If you think Berry is the exception rather than the rule.. then check out all the towns along the Illawarra coast... Shellharbour Village, Minnamurra, Kiama, Gerringong, Gerroa, then it's Berry, then Shoalhaven Heads.... just keep going down the coast.
