and if i ever won the lotto i would. beach house here six months a year. old castle/manor house in rural england for four and a bit of world travel on top.


as a single twenty something i did find it rather dull and a years backpacking was enough
now im older it floats my boat in more ways than a life in the uk

I'm OK with where I live now, at my stage in life, though it did take me a couple of years to get used to 'it' .... but if I was here and 20 then I would need to be on suicide watch.

Oz is not boring but unfortunately the people are dull uneducated racist and worst of all they cant handle their drink (In Queensland anyway)

Deutschmaster

I'd say that only boring people get bored anywhere

I think that most of the sensible replies are getting the same point across and that is that the 2 countries are the other side of the world from each other, they both hold different qualities and different problems and its wrong to try to compare them.

I personally love it here and am a big fan of Australia, I live in South East Queensland and there is so much to do here I never get bored. Having said that its tipping it down right now.

I do however miss loads of things from the UK. The pubs, cold crisp mornings with blue skies, countryside, culture and the football to name but a few.

I have read a few replies about Perth and without offending all the WA residents the place was beautiful, beaches are awesome but after 3 trips I did start to think I needed more. Being on the east coast its easier to access other cities and more places reasonably close to travel to.

Would you hve been bored in a different part of the country such as Melboune or Sydney?

Devlin

Boring, probably not, in the sense that I am not really bored wherever I am as I can find interesting things to do.

Dull - most definitely yes. Perth, Adelaide and Canberra are the most dull places I've ever spent time in in this world! Melbourne less so, although the 'burbs are pretty drab.

You only have to look at ex poms who spend half thier life on facebook to find your answer!

"the people" who are these people? A huge number of the people that you encounter in Australia are not even Australians, most of them are recent arrivals or the children of recent arrivals.

"dull uneducated racist: I lived in Bradford a few years back, talk about racist!!! The people of Bradford could teach the Queenslanders a thing or two about racism. How many city centers in Queensland have been torched during race riots?

"and worst of all they cant handle their drink" So you obviously have never experienced the joys of a typical British town center on a Friday night watching lager louts kicking each others heads in and vomiting in the gutter and young drunk females urinating on the footpath.

I agree with your point about dull and boring are different. I've been to some dull places, have somehow managed to entertain myself while there, then moved on.

BAY

No I don't.

If you do then you must be a boring person ... yawn

BAY

Whats your problem mate ? This just shows you up as being an uneducated fool.

Bernieboy

Queenslanders and brits are the one and same as far as im concerned.
