I want to live by the sea, with a pool, good schools and ballet classes, no spiders or flooding, work opportunities for qualified herbal reiki massage regression head therapist. Where should we go?

I hear that schools in Australia are 50 years behind than the UK, so what year will my child be in if he was in year 7 in the UK? - Well it depends, if he goes to a Perth school, he will need to regress back to an embryo and be reborn.
Will my fridge work in Australia? - yes but not in Tassie or Perth
Is 1 week enough to decide if I like it or not and if I dont like it, should I move back whilst I still have jetlag? - 1 week is far too long, you should know within seconds.
Do they sell tampons in Australia? - no, you have to roll your own or if you have large genitals, you can use sheep.
What side of the road do people drive on in Australia? - it depends on how drunk they are, it could be the middle.
What language to they speak in Australia? - in QLD it is rather slow, but if you go to Perth, they speak 'Perthanese'
What happens if I die in Australia, will I be buried upside down? - No, your body will be cut into steaks and you will be thrown on the Barbie for new migrants to enjoy.
