Aus has so more possibilities than UK will take quite a few years to get fed up as so many things to do that you haven't done before.

Would take me the rest of my life to explore Aus think the danger lies in returning to UK style life of work work work....get out and enjoy the place that's why we came isn't it.

Oh! and wear a hat... .

I've noticed that a lot. Whilst we were only one car and I was driving hubby to and from work in Tweed Heads the difference in road surfaces between here and there was incredible and it's only 15 minutes drive. Obviously there are rubbish roads everywhere but to see such a difference at the border is kind of surprising, or maybe not

Only time we have noticed major problem with road surfaces in QLD was in the outback when they didn't have any...LOL.

Ok heres some of the things I dont like.

1. Hairy men with long pointed beards, shorts and full length socks drawn up to their knees (and white, I might add)

2. Hairy women with beards who dont attempt to have them waxed away

3. No style, no dress sense, no class

4. No appreciation of quality shoes and handbags - I have only seen one radley handbag, and that was owned by an english woman.

I could go on, but wont bother, I need a few more glasses of vino first
