Hello, we were in Oz for 4weeks over Christmas & the New Year. 2 weeks around Melbourne and the rest in Perth. We found the whole place to be brilliant, but for us Perth was the better. Maybe it was because we have relatives living there. Quality of life seems fantastic for my relations who emigrated 30 years ago. Work appears to be plentiful, particularly in the building trades, & the kids without doubt would have far better schooling facilities ( my relative is a deputy principle & showed us around her school), not to mention what they can do outside of school hours. My good lady was also mighty impressed but she likes her comfort bubble more than I do. Maybe all the constant bad weather, depressing news, & general malaise that surrounds the UK in most departments will give her the push that she needs.
My wife also works in social services as a qualified social worker, and my family in Perth reckon they are always in short supply so getting a job should not be as bad as some other occupations. I am also a CORGI engineer,but stick to the installation of gas fires & stoves. While we were there it seemed to me that even though they have hot summers they still require space heaters for the cooler months, so definately a market for me.?
Anyway it would definately be Perth for us!!
