I know 2 English nurses who lived in Brisbane for a year, both hated it. Some patients wouldn't even talk to them, asking for an "Australian" speaking nurse. WTF?

Re: Spring Hill Garden Apartments, Brisbane

Sounds like a nightmare. Get used to that "I don't give a toss" attitude. Almost everyone here seems to have it in varying degrees.
