My Friend Quits Australia after 100 Days
Was on 476, husband and wife. Tried Sydney and Melbourne. No job, high cost of living, so quitting.

It's a fine piece of work, but 100 days?! I think I could knock that up in a couple of hours.

Re: My Friend Quits Australia after 100 Days
Bugger... Misread the title too....
Having read the thread..........
Have come across several people who may appear to have not given things a "fair go".....
But the reality is that Some people quite sensibly realise they have made a mistake coming out to australia and move back ..... Good on them for recognising their mistake
But One, I remember, appeared to become quite unhinged by the whole process and went back to the UK very angry at the whole world.....everyone else was to blame for everything.... Which was a shame as so much had been invested in the move out here.... And this person had had a lot of help and support from various poms out here... Only to piss on them all in the process...... That wrankled some what .....
We brought one way tickets for a reason.....
