If you get a motorbike around there be bloody carEful..'P' platers come out of nowhere doing totally the wrong thing havent ridden a bike since..my ex Partner and i nearly died on it there..never before...even in London

also the port doug road has numerous deaths and incidents and the road down from kuranda at the bottom

Not to mention the wet

a bit irrelevant but worth mentioning...

..theres a local croc at cape trib

good choice by the way...congrats :-)

Hi never said That. Sorry if seemed that way. People like you or i would never steal. Anyone i know would never steal. I just said i was the victim of it alot there..but i was in chch nz too as it happens.and perth and rockingham.and broome..more so in london .even in notting hill someone walked in at lunch when the door was open in summer

Another thing to mention is i added up the thefts in london once after eight or so years there including campervans cars multitracks laptops motorbikes and people opening door attempted burglary in the middle of the night it totalled 19,000 pounds. Its some type of people living there.people say aus is 'safe' but not sure it is with the amount of sharks crocs irakuni..not redbacks etc i have seen in my industry. Everytning here wants to kill you...

miss the good music venues etc little did i know the aussie i met there and cornwall was from a remote outback farm town at the time...

Ktellis i think u will do better in melbourne..stick at it

Wow writergirl thats pretty much how i have felt for two years thanx for that.had heaps more fun there actually.sadly my partner wanted to stay in aus as she had a sick mom and lots of aborigine family connectioms and is from an outback farm anyway so now i'm a free spirit just cant make my mind up.lucky yum for u u r both going.not being able to do cool stuff with myfam here isthe difficult Thing.on saying that i am sure i will regret it a year later so need to tread carefully

Knextyear i am going to move to the gold coast or sometning...somewhere where the flignts are easier than northern w a..

i grew up in london & live in a small town in oz & used to think the same way as you when i was here the first time. i dragged my husband back to london only to realise what an idiot i had been & how horrible my attitude had been to the people around me.we moved back to oz but this time i came with a different attitude & my experience this time has been the total opposite. we live in the same small town we did last time but i dropped the condescending & moaning attitude & got to know the people this time & have learned things about their very interesting & well travelled lives i never knew before because they are happy to talk to me now i'm not horrible to be around. the only difference is me. maybe you should think about the vibes you give off or do yourself & the people around you a favour & move on.

Thanx booma

had a lot of weddings in europe lately havent been bqck six years due for returning resident visa been a nz resident for 15yrs thats indefinite here they seem to want more money again... thats the situation at the moment.yeah i suffer serious homesickness now :-) i havent been clever enough to arrange going back every year or whatever got too involved in the aus lifestyle..islands diving kiting etc myself....and its bloody miles away compares to easy europe flights and flights from broome etc are ludicrous. Thanx again

P.s then she told me you could just walk into kmart and get a gun and i realised OMG america really is that bad !!!  :-)

Think about if you had met an Aussie in London who kept comparing London unfavourably by comparison to Melbourne or complaining of homesickness - you would probably give them a wide berth and the same works in reverse.  Not saying that you are doing this but a positive outward outlook goes a long way (even if you are secretly having regrets).

Also, it doesn't have to be forever (I hope).  Have you and your partner discussed what will happen if you don't manage to settle?

ThatsThat was clever snifter !!! Really sorry about that as said before...

i was referring to this..above...grey sky..

had an american friend for a while who kept being on instagram and going on about how brilliant california is.my thought were...well why are you here ? all the best to her

sorry again

You're obviously not mixing with the right Aussies. I have loads of Aussie friends and none of them talk about boats or cars or anything like that. Most of them have been travelling a lot - quite more adventurous than me I would say. Nothing wrong with saying you love your country. I actually like the way they are proud of this land and don't constantly put it and other fellow Aussies down all the time - constantly looking for things to moan about. Sorry, but I think if I met you I would give you a bit of a wide berth too (I'm not an Aussie by the way).

Ozzie    ... just looked at yoir posts.u have been here since august this year?? Really?

Read this in two years   :-) :-)

..no offence

Well where did u find them? Not in remote locations small clicky inbred towns i guess....?

This is a  v sad post  i am v v sorry to read this.

If i were you i would find out about the ruining his career part if a complaint is made...thats very admirable of u .lots of women actually do that for no reason through vindictiveness when there was never actually anything of the sort ..happened to me once. She also did it to another chap a year later. Probably more too! .in reality she was the alchoholic and bully

however if he had any sense or emotions he would realise what is happening is wrong

Goodluck .i really meanthat. Sounds like a shiyt terrible situation and i hope you found your way out of it.

congrats for PR on your own xx

Hi

best thing going is amaysim type AMAYSIM ... ;; 40 a month prepaid unlimited international aus texts and calls ten gb..its on optus network which is good everywhere except for in v v remote places

if not go telstra 30month 3gb calls etc

Dont go vodaphone unless yr in melbourne or something? Get amaysim sim on optus/unlocked network or telstra if v v remote and just let yr contract evaporate

Just an idea..

They are trying to attract more people to gero now and things theres been alot of tourist etc activities lately but it has a long way to go..i agree..it could go and be better but sadly alot of the people in gero themselves havent got a clue from what i have seen.

The first thing I would consider is jobs. Research job availability for your occupations. For example, Perth is in a severe economic downturn at the moment and jobs can be hard to find. 

 

Yyyyyyyeeeeeahhhh!!! Dont go to perth!!!!!

I would hate that. I know of lots of english nurses and school teachers that do remote for visa requirements...however also know of lots of aussies that love it and do three month stints remote hospitals for the 'money'... unless your in it for the 'money'(or visa purgatory requirements)... bugger off...sorry for the word..and go somewhere you like ...life is too short

goodluck

Do thebeaches dude beenand lived cairns allthough mostly was on yachts there...trust me you will regret it if u dont.however....if u r a party goer live in town..
