I love it here !
Well not been on this site for ages, and now been here for a year. Its a beautiful country but seriously when the uk picks back up i will be first on the plane.
Its as laid back as a man on death row. Pretentious OMG. I walk round the shopping centres and it has either got the biggest per centage of 10c millionaires or debt city.
Food shopping is fantastic i laugh every week. 300 dollars for a few tim tams and chicken breast full of hormones and fruit and veg covered in Cancer causing chemicals. Let me guess yours is all great!
Houses, bought one live in one and guess, would never buy another one. Its got the feel of something me gran knocked up after her first day at woodclass. Me pool lovely cut through the crap use it comfortably 3 mnths out of 12.
Education, depending on schools can be good. OOH, you probably will pay private for what you get at a good state uk school, if you are lucky. Teachers get paid well with no national curriculum in place, of course this is so they can be more creative, or sit on their arse with no targets for th 85k they gey paid.
Economy, is good and doing well at the moment. Of course that is what the t.v will tell you. If its as crash hot as they say then next week it will be on parity with the pound. NO NO NO! Australia is making money from selling its own land and selling it to china with the only development on how to dig bigger holes.
Crime, not good in terms of any big cities with the same problems with regards to immigrants. Many disadvantaged refugees being given asylum in Australia and bringing their problems and cheap attitude towards life.
Cars, you will pay a fortune for a car which you thought you had scrapped 10 years ago, but hey i am not materialstic,
WELCOME TO OZ!

Can't imagine how you can stand to live in such an awful place. Surely, as bad as it seems to be at the present, the UK must be better than where you are now!

Re: I love it here !
Australians are friendly… Absolutely. They are some of the friendliest people you will meet. This is best displayed by the shop assistants as they try to explain to you why you have just had a dozen dining chairs delivered, when, in fact, you ordered a fridge.
The houses are bigger than the UK. Generally this is true. Land is cheap and the cost of the Blu-tack and balsa wood used in the construction brings the building costs right down compared to the UK
Australians are good drivers. If your starting point is an Egyptian camel driver then you would probably agree. If you enjoy being undertaken by a 12 year old in a V8 then this is the country for you.
Food is cheap. Beef is cheap… other than that forget it. I think bananas currently cost $1467 each with cucumbers about half that.
Clothes are good quality. Remember TK Maxx at home?. Now do you remember the guy outside TK Maxx searching through the litter bin?. He was wearing better clothes than you get here.
The men are more refined than ever. Possibly. The rugby league players now head-butt women rather than giving them a playful kicking.
There is so much to see and do... If your idea of an attraction is the local pie shop, then again, this is the place to come.
That lot was my third post on BE... ahhhh happy days.
