Re: Is Moving To Australia Still Worth It In 2017/18

The biggest factor I decided against Perth was the job front.

Australia does have a better work ethos that I can see. The homebirthing is incredible out there. I'm not shy in regard to long...

Re: Is Moving To Australia Still Worth It In 2017/18

A fair point. Is Sydney like London in the way though that you get paid more to work in that area?

All I know is I earn rubbish here. I would earn double in Aus at the lowest of my band.

But I...

Re: Is Moving To Australia Still Worth It In 2017/18

I didn't say the UK is cheap. Just cheaper in some respects. Housing appears to be more expensive. Well, where I am anyway (not London).

It makes it easier that I'm not in it for the beaches. I...

Re: Is Moving To Australia Still Worth It In 2017/18

Perhaps it could be a coping mechanism like you say. For me, I just need to do it. My career would benefit from it even if I don't stay. Life is about experiences. :)

Re: Is Moving To Australia Still Worth It In 2017/18

I agree. There is plenty to do in the UK! So that is absurd. We have the amazing British war museum (which I love)

Re: Is Moving To Australia Still Worth It In 2017/18

Quite a humbling post if I'm honest. If I turn up in AUSTRALIA and find it's not for me. At least I have tried it. Life is valuable so why not try. The UK will always be waiting for me, as will my...

Re: Is Moving To Australia Still Worth It In 2017/18

Aaahhh, I used to live rural. Gone are the days I only sat behind a tractor.

I'm looking at the surrounding suburbs of Adelaide. I wouldn't be able to handle the business of Sydney or QLD. Perth...

Re: Is Moving To Australia Still Worth It In 2017/18

Re: Is Moving To Australia Still Worth It In 2017/18

Haha, fair point!! To be fair I am not moving to Aus because of the beaches.... I dislike sand! I can't fully express my reasons, just a yearning I've had for a long while.

Re: Is Moving To Australia Still Worth It In 2017/18
