Hi Gags
Hmmm ... yes you make some good points about australia and there are certainly downsides however I have to wonder whether a long rant about how crap it can be is all that helpful to other members looking to move? Clearly you have had a bad time of it and are relieved to be back in england - nothing wrong with that.
As we all know england has more than its fair share of bad points but it surely comes down completely to the type of person you are, how you like to live and what you hold dear in life as to whether you can endure the worst parts of australian life and not let them ruin the whole experience of living there?
Although you are entitled to your own opinion, i do think its a bit of a shame to 'rain on people's parade' too much before they've had a chance to experience it themselves.
PS. One member commented it would be good to hear from people who have been resident in australia for a while - I lived in melbourne for 3 years, then came back to england for 5 years as i fell in love with an english lad and we are now moving back to melbourne permanently in november so am happy to try and answer any questions people may have.
