Re: What are the social and psychological nuances within Australia

All the supermarkets have a very good range of booze nowadays, normally 4 or 5 isles of it. Wine from around the world, ale, cider etc. They stock a lot of good independent labels as well as the...

Re: What are the social and psychological nuances within Australia

Re: What are the social and psychological nuances within Australia

Cool, keep it coming. I can vouch for "NSW and Victoria think Queensland is full of nutters". I was chased out of a small country town once by an angry drunk native, I think it was Cooktown?. ...

Re: What are the social and psychological nuances within Australia

OK got it, so anyone who says "Never confuse Queensland with Australia" is likely to be jealous of the good weather in other states and/or from Melbourne.

Re: 10 Years on - Reflections on a First Return Visit to the UK

Re: 10 Years on - Reflections on a First Return Visit to the UK

In my opinion comparing Australia to the UK will always be difficult. A lot of what is good about the UK is unseen to most e.g. good schools/universities, respect for rule of law, good job...

Re: Need some advice about possibly ping ponging back to Oz!

You've lost me. Maybe this will help:

1. The OP suggested she moved back to the UK for one reason only, economics. And now her other half is unhappy.
