I admit I do not know a great deal about Australia that's why I come on this site, to find out where to look for work, cheap places to live, instead all I get is that I am expecting too much, got news for you I am not expecting anything. The one thing I do remember about Brisbane, leaving a bar walking through the city centre, early morning just as the clubs/pubs was kicking out and there was hardly any police presence there, and no sign of any trouble, and this from a major city,and this was the case nearly all the time I was there.

I only left the UK three months ago and I don't agree with you one little bit. It's no different now than it has ever been. I'll happily walk through any town centre at night. There would be areas and estates I'd avoid in the UK just as there is here.

I can count on one hand the bother I've seen over the last 10 years. It just hardly happens but when it does you hear about it now and the the papers make it out to be some Rage like viral epidemic.

Mind I prefer bogans to chavs.

Lucky you. There are some areas of Brisbane I would definitely not walk through at club kicking out time -just as back home there are areas of Brighton that I treat in the same way.

You have made my point exactly, you would expect trouble from any big city anywhere on the planet, Brighton is only a small town just like Hartlepool and Grimsby,

I would think that many large cities/towns have places to avoid - there always have been.

Garry, I still want to know why you haven't booked your flight yet:)?

Hello Helen, I am hoping to fly out next month, I am still emptying my house, it is amazing how much rubbish is accumulated over a period of time, plus August being school holidays, the flights are quite a fair bit more expensive, and to be totally honest not too sure where to go either Perth or Brisbane area, still doing plenty of homework at the moment,
