I work wit ha lot of Aussies here and most of them LOVE Enlgnad, well they love London anyway. Most of these guys earn a hell of a lot more than they would in Oz though and so can live the London lifestyle.

Like DP says though, home is home and so the ones that dont marry someone English will all go back im sure.


What are you implying? That DMPM can't get a bird, so he's packing his bags and going home?! Wink

I can understand that a Brit going to Oz will miss their friends and family and won't get to see them much at all, but England has NOTHING on Australia in terms of lifestyle and I'm not being nationalistic.

- Better wages
- Cheaper rent, food, fuel etc.
- Better weather
- Better food
- In Melbourne I am less than an hour from some of the best surf beaches in the world, 3-4 hours from a range of ski resorts, surrounded by National Parks etc.
- Cosmipolitan, mulicultural cities that are cleaner and safter than any in the UK

etc. etc.

Rant over.

I'm out of here in 5 weeks. WOO HOOOOOOO!!! Grin


It's a bit provocative to come onto a website (which is essentially British) and start ranting about how great Australia is. Not exactly surprising though!!!

Out of interest, there are a few points on which I disagree with you but we could go on all day about those. The interesting comment was the "better wages" statement - which even more strangely tops your list.

Oh, wait, you'll find me one or two examples of a job in which the Aussies pay more. Woo hoo!!

I can only talk from personal experience. I will be earning more back home than I do here. The type of work here is better though.

OK, I find that I get paid quite a bit more over here than I did in Oz.
