Bc is correct. The AU forums are now Garry and Beoz and Zulu posting (even Ozt made a comeback for a while). I can go months without checking. There is also a lack of UK migrants agonising about...

Re: The world of automation

Re: Australia - As good as it "looks?"

My view for many years is that AU is so expensive in terms of the real estate is that simply it is too risky for many migrants.

People need good reasons like nearby family, obsession with surf :-)...

Ballarat better than Pakenham in real terms. Admittedly Paky is near Berwick and Beacy and established SE.
