Very nearly put us off - not because of Australia but some of the people in it. We decided before ever having seen the program but then again I think the deciding factor was frankly it was either here, Europe or Canada.
Europe since we have EU passports but really didnt fancy any EU state. Then it was between Australia and Canada simply because we could get Visas. Canada is too cold for us
I think that if you look fifteen years ago or so the British public had a "love affair" with the USA and it was all the rage to move there and do things "American". Once you could not get a visa if you tried, then Australia has seemingly taken its place. Its about the one place left in the world that will take the British....!
