Canada too long to get a visa too close to USA.

New Zealand - would consider it if didn't want to remain in Aus, as have young family need support of family thus Aus is destination.

Europe - too bloody lazy to be bothered to learn a new language :p

Australia - Want to experience what it has to offer on a daily basis rather than a few weeks every decade or so. Have close family links so is the most viable option. They kinda speak English :thumbsup:

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 :D ).
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.

I prefered the shape of Australia - it's highly reminiscent of a complex hydrogen molecule.

Same could be said for Australia.... :lol: I went to see a house the other day and I saw the neighbour was out so went to ask him about gas supply on the street. What a nice bloke! Broad Yorkshire, so we had a chat about the footy, and I have to say, he was slipping... we'd been there a full two minutes before we got offered a cup of tea. :rofl:
Nice neighbours. :)

Um, why Australia? It was the furthest point away from my parents. :thumbsup:
