Yes it's something I've never understood either. I could understand it in the UK because there IS no space. I could understand it in Canada because of all the heating that's required. But Australia.....??

Our house is in an older, leafier suburb that does have some character but we paid a fortune for it and the 900m2 that we are told is a HUGE block is pathetically small by South African standards where nobody had less than half an acre.

They did originally. Only in recent years has Australia attracted the slightly more affluent Pom.
