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 :rofl: (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
 

Come on mate, Perth is the arsehole of Australia. If it were not for the mines in would be a ghost town scraping by off a few tourist dollars.

Re: Why 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!

Re: Why Australia
 

OOOOOOOOOOOooohhh that's gonna hurt some:eek:

Re: Why Australia
 

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

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. :thumbup:

Re: Why Australia
 

I don't work on a mine Pomster. 9 hour day in central Perth, $170k a year. Again, Cha-ching! I don't even work that hard and live in the best place in Australia. It's all f**king good.
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.
