Re: Beautiful scenes of the UK
Sounds obvious - You have to compare like for like, you can't compare most of Australia with chavs and slums, you can't compare a UK village with sand and burnt bushland, not all Australia is like that.
I find that like with like, or what I like about both, both countries are similar.

Exactly...thats why it is so annoying when people say they are coming here to escape high cost of living, better life-style, taxes, chavs, crime etc...all that is in Oz aswell...making them both similar as you say..except Oz is bigger and warmer (and boring
)

I came here for a better lifestyle and I got it. Just because you didn't is more to do with your way of life than Australia.

I know lots of Paul's. I may know him more by face than name.
You'd probably have to give me more info, but obviously not on here

Re: Beautiful scenes of the UK
All these pics makes me realise just what I had on my doorstep and used not to bother with most of the time!! How stupid was I?
I am so ashamed to say I've never been further north than York in the UK!!! Oh boy, if we do go back to live there I will be doing some serious travelling and exploring.
Even my die hard 'Aus is fab' hubby is beginning to see the error of his ways. He's getting sick of barbi's/drinking/beach/sun and being skint. He's acknowledged that travel and far away holidays are so difficult to do from here. Never thought I'd ever see him open to suggestions of making a new life back in old Blighty! I have another year and a bit to work on him!

Re: Beautiful scenes of the UK
I have mates here from Aberdeenshire and they reckon it's "Gods Country" up there. I would love to travel and see the highlands and tour Edinburgh, especially for the Tatoo.
