Re: Why Australia
Cos I have lived in England, Scotland, Northern Ireland, Hong Kong & Germany and my family all came to visit.
So we went further afield to get some peace and quiet
(Definately need a tongue in cheek smiley here!)

Re: Why Australia
USA - Like California but can't get in.
Canada - Like it but shit winters
NZ - Nice but don't want to live in a 3rd World Country.
France - Nice but no jobs. Same for the rest of Europe.
Belgium - Nearly moved there and was going to commute through the tunnel. Came here instead.
South Africa - Fantastic if you are single. Not the place to raise a family though.
Western Australia - Western, 1st World, great economy, great jobs with high salaries, prosperous, secure, modern, beautiful, great weather, materialistic, great infrastructure, fantastic opportunities.
WA got the vote.

Re: Why Australia
Tried the US, hated it.
Applied for PR in Canada, ridiculously long waiting time
Got offered a job here and figured it was a better place to wait for our Canadian PR than our crappy life in England.
Here we are, Canadians now ready to process our application?? Dilemmas????

Re: Why Australia
Canada - Too cold in winter
America - Too weird
New Zealand - Too expensive
Greece - did consider it but there wasn't any work for my OH, I can't speak Greek (well none of us can
).
Turkey - Just didn't like it
France - Too many french people
Spain - Too many English people
They are the ones that were on our list along with Australia.

Dream on Jack. If it was not for retirees, SE Queensland would be f**ked. Fact is Jackson, the mines are there, carrying the rest of Australia at the same time giving people like me huge salaries. Cha-ching!

With South Afreeka as a backround I suppose Perth would seem like a dream. Enjoy the mines and when you are not working 12 hour shifts in the middle of nowhere you can.......Live in the arse end of Australia.

I suppose it all depends in what you want out of life and where you have come from and are going....

Being a Saffa at least I won't ever be confused with that most detested of creatures, a Pom. Now that would be a bitch.
