I moved to Germany a year ago because I was fed up living in "rip-off" Britain, but I wished I had applied to go down under instead ( could possibly be there already! :-) ). Personally, I would like a better standard of living for me and my family and I feel that Australia would offer me this, along with some better weather!
I would be interested to hear your reasons!

Peter.

Because the standard of living is better than the UK. Better salary and cheaper to live etc. We live near the Black Forest which is absolutely lovely but very cold in winter.
You live and learn...

Isn't obvious? Any place but europe/uk has got to be better. As far as
Australia goes, it's THE place to be. The US would be a close second.
Boring and backward Europe/uk would be about in 160th place............
