Re: Why Australia is Expensive?
Well I went for a night out here a few months back with the girls my wife had been to TAFE with and their partners... http://www.laundy.com.au/albionpark
Albion Park was voted in the top ten Bogan areas of Australia and that pub itself was described as "brutal". http://www.illawarramercury.com.au/n...s/1587309.aspx
I had a bloody great night.
....my wife just asked me to add that she, who wasn't drinking at all, was scared shitless all night long. !!
Just goes to show what half a dozen Carltons can do for your perceptions of a place.

Re: Why Australia is Expensive?
Hi All,
I personally feel that (in my opinion) that Australia is expensive(grocessory,garments etc.) when I compare it to US or UK?Why its like that.
The house rent in Sydney is comparable to NewYork or Los Angeles. The temperature in Melbourne,Sydney and Perth in Summers go upto 40C-45C and normally the rental houses doesn't even have ceiling fan. In US or UK when we rent an accomodation mostly we get furnished kitchen whereas in Australia normally rental accomodation doesn't have any refridgerators etc. in kitchen.
Australian market also lack famous brands/variety like Harrods', Marks and spencer, etc. etc.
Why we dont get quality rental accomodation in affordable price in Australia?

Aussies are only passive because they are so happy. Love it!!
What next? They are only rascist because they are so united in their Aussieness?
