Emigrating to Australia.......is it worth it???
My bird keeps on about wanting to move to Oz cos she travelled through there a couple of years ago......is it worth considering??? The only thing that i can see is better is the weather ...you will still have to work for a living and i doubt the wages out there are as good as what you can earn here...Are they???

I'm emigrating to Oz in about 8 weeks time, it is an awesome place. Do what I did and find an aussie bird on the net and marry her
you lot are welcome to this scrotty country - if theres any of it left after the immigrants have taken over!!!
All I need to do is flog my saff and buy a big spec 3 door or an RS500 to take with me and I'm gone!!

Thats exactly how the aussies feel about the brits moving over there, believe me I lived there for 2 years
Australia isnt the utopia everyone makes out, it has its fair share of problems just like everywhere else

It's not like they have tons of brits coming in on the back of a truck every day

I don't think you can just choose to move there and show up.
I think you need to have a job lined up before you go and it has to be one that they classify as a 'critical skill' that they cannot fill from within.

y2k rs yes your right it does have its fair share of problems the same as everywhere else,but its the country for me.
the way of life out there is SO much better its unreal.and i think its a far better country to bring my kids up in.they speak english in there schools

Mate, you are as much an immigrant in the eyes of the aussies as a Kosovan is here.
As a british kid living in Australia I experienced their significant dislike of brits first hand.
Going on holiday and living there are two different things.
I have been back many times since, even took a 3dr cosworth with me the last time so not dissing the place totally just saying you will experience some of the things that immigrants here face.

Well paul my family have never had experience of the hate??? And they been there 35 years.
I been twice travelling and i Me and wife are going for a month in Nov. This is to see if Lindsay would like to move out there, cos i have wanted to for 6 years now
Cheaper to live
More relaxed pace/way of life
Weather so more to do instead of being in house looking at the rain like now!
Wages are better in most jobs, i can go out there and earn well over 400 uk pound(1000's dollars) per 1000 bricks! And i can lay a 1000 a day easily! Down south in England is about that money but too expensive to live!!! Only comparing it to up here!
As for Aussies coming over here, its because they fancy a change of life..simple! Wouldnt do for us all to be same! Anyway let em come more work for us over there then. This place is a wank hole and ill be glad to see the back of it!

Initially we are moving to Melbourne as that is where Kate is from and she still has family there. There is a small chance that we may move to Brisbane/Gold coast area as housing is a bit cheaper. We've just accepted an offer on our house so as soon as thats sorted we're off, quotes for shipping (car and household stuff) and everything sorted already
where are you moving to Pops? and when you looking at moving?

well you said that alot better than me lee
but yes paul i can see where your coming from,i would say my trips weren't really holidays as such,i was living with my brother,so didnt do the holiday/hotel way of life out there.
my brother has been out there 5yrs now and as lee as said he's never had any thing like that go on,well apart from the usual pommie shite they come out with,but a quick kick in the bolloxs sorts that out
