Great pics stevo,you should do it proffesionally.............Australia sure is beautifull and i loved the wildlife , even the dangerous stuff. If i could have lived like grizzly adams out in the woods id probably have stayed , but ive found a country that even supersedes Australias beauty, and its full of potential and some nutters really do live out in the woods............great .
i guess its horses for courses mate , and i honour your defence of your place, best luck to ya maybe you be able to teach the aussies a few pommy ways , maybe a few road manners too ?? never too late for them to join human race ehh.............lol

, loud (Thought you were deaf mate - not just dumb)
, arrogant people (Cause where always right mate)

ever ok some are great (and some are goregous in those bikinis) but the BLOKE attitude culture is pure comedy
(Streuth think I will pop up to Spain to see real brit culture or maybe to Hong Kong or Thailand where you have proberly been told on numerous occasions "you hep gd luva" "4 10$")

, and just try and get a job(most people do)

, 5 months and over 40 applications bugger all
- So you have sat on your arse and only got 40 applications off in 5 months? who you calling lazy????

, do i regret emigrating there ...... you bet, its got to be the worst, barren , bleak, boring , polluting , comercialised (Londons calling)

country in the world. oh and Mr howards workplace reforms are worse than something communist china could think up . Anyone else been very dissapointed with Australia, whinge away..................lol

Frankly I don't find the bloke culture any worse than in the UK. For every bluey wearing, Sheila loving fair dinkum ridgy didge etc etc worker over here, there is an England top wearing, lager-top drinking geezer in the UK. I've heard sexist comments out of the mouth of both, just that the Aussies are more laid back with it and no where near as aggressive(and actually, believe it or not, can often get away with it as 'charm' a result). That's what English women have told me anyway.

I should know. I'm a massive flirt and you get away with blue murder if you do it with a smile. But be a wanker and you get a heel in the balls

Worst polluting? When the USA alone produces one third of the world's pollution?

Yeah, right.

Actually Europe (inc the UK) produces twice as much as Australia, the Pacific and Japan combined. The league table is thus :

The USA & Canada
Western Europe (plus Germany)
Communist East Asia (China, North Korea, Mongolia, etc.)
Eastern Europe, Russia, and Former Soviet States
India & Southeast Asia (plus South Korea)
Australia, Japan & other Pacific Island States
Central & South America (includes Mexico and the Caribbean)
The Middle East
Africa

You were of course right about the USA and Canada who are by far the worst offenders.
