Fine. But that is specific to your job rather than a general trend of Australia being better than the UK for salaries.

avocados? pick em for free off the tree in me garden,...... as for the kids.. try a Nintendo Wii... about $400... keeps em occupied for hours all year.. and no fuel costs or damage to the envirnoment (we're doing our bit to save the world) .... want kids to have sporty active lifestyles? Buy a fast moving disobedient dog ... take them to the park (there are plenty of those) let the dog off the lead and make them catch it

Why is ginger so expensive? $30 a kg in the local fruit&veg shop and $ 25 in Safeway
Fresh Herbs (coriander and mint) - $ 2.50 each for a tiny bunch
