We originally lived in Sydney for 10 years and became citizens there before going back to the UK. We came back to Oz but this time to Brisbane last November after 14 years in the UK and despite the job hunting, depleted funds, living on one wage, kids up and down, and having absolutely no friends, I wouldn't change it for the world.
The job things frustrating though, 23 job applications later and still no joy. Things have def changed on that front with priorities being around tertiary qualifications and not actual experience as it was when we left. Have even applied for prior learning recognition to have that just bit stronger application - guess it's just a waiting game!
