I voted $1.2MM as that is how much I managed to transfer over 2 years plus the sale of my house in WA, at an average ex rate of $1 to 60p. Its enough that I don't have to work, but sadly still do for an Australian Oil Company. Maybe one day I can give it all up.

I'd go back for a $1m plus as then I might be able to afford to buy somewhere and not work AND then I can come on hols to Oz and see something of the country, which is why we moved here in the first place and NOW never go anywhere because we are working all the time to afford to live here thanks to the weak pound, sky high housing and cost of living rises!!!!

Whinge over.......

If it were a few years time I'd be interested in Turban's boat! We've thought about it a few times especially after living in a Marina in the UK (on land ) although I'm not sure how the kitties would adapt to it! My friend used to take her cat on their yacht, he had his own little hammock...how cute!

$1.4m we'd discuss it but still stay. Can't put a price on what we have here.
