I have the opportunity to move to Aus this year. Not sure quite what to do as wanted to move elsewhere and that was how I was thinking until very recently.
NZ is still on the cards too as we can go there. I know i'll kick myself if I don't take whats on offer. England pulls no heartstrings for me at all. Scotland however does and always will. But then given the weather in Scotland compared to Aus - Hmmmm . The lifestyle in Aus is so laid back, people are friendly and not greedy, rocking up to a park with an Eski and a chilled WA white watching the sun go down is great. Catching Blue crabs off the jetty for tea. Swimming in the ocean with Dolphins - cool ! Perth maybe the most isolated city in the world but my is it lovely. I don't like cities but I loved it there. Also the way people are, more outdoor entertaining with friends, most excellent.
Sure there must be a downside - just ain't thought of it yet
Oh yeah - the bikers out there - welcome to the 60's guys - very scary!!!!!!!
