Ive spent a lot of time in Auz...Have you been? if not, and if you havn't spent any time there then with the greatest of repect DONT DO IT

I lived there for several years, its not all its cracked up to be.
Dont get me wrongt, its a fantastic country, but the grass isnt always greener. I was fortunate, racing motorbikes, we had quite a life there.
when i packed that up and money came a bit shorter you suddenly realize how expensive decent properties are, Wr had an old farm house and 4 acres of land, we used to have to keep suitcases packed by the front door, incase of bushfires. we were surrounded by bush, snakes and spiders, everything wants to kill you, and thats in the city now as they have encroached on the bush.
you get used to it to a point but you are always wary. where we were in victoria we had no rain as such for 4 years, and the heat is pretty bad in the summer seasons.

I realy urge you not to watch steve irwin and neighbours and think its all wine and roses, go there spend some time there,#before you make the biggest desision of your life. being an Auz passport holder, let me tell you, whatever is putting you off the uk, there is just as much of it in auz.

thats all assuming you are deemed suitable for residency by the govt.s testing

good luck
