Hi All.
Just noticed this discussion. My wife and I were in dilemma over which country to choose. Having lived in NZ for a year, ten years ago, we then visted Oz on holiday. Both are great places to live and bring up goods and as for natural beauty, I feel NZ wins hands down. However,the disadvantages of NZ are, lower wages, more expensive real estate?,fewer numbers of health professionals than Oz and very much quieter. Also a lot of Kiwis tend to leave NZ for Oz in search of higher wages. If the wages were higher, I would go back tommorrow and Christchurch would be my choice. However, we are now settled on Oz due its higher living standards and better infra structure. Hope this helps.

Best wishes to all.
