wattsy1982 Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 Hey Wattsy, you've got your negative thread. Why don't you let this one be positive. I was actually joking, it was a positive thing for her.....in a sad way. I can now see how the 'living the dream' comment may have made it look negative Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woken up sun shining, sky blue and mother's day life in Oz is good Hey, Now hang on a minute here please. My first comment on here was listing what I liked about Aus, in keeping with the thread. Then the cretin insulted me to which i naturally defended myself. Then the comment about the washing was an actual legit comment and since I have now also commented how i can see it looked sarcastic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kapri Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 The skies: Often clear blue during the day, or with amazing cloud formations. Fabulous sunsets - beautiful red streaked skies. The night sky too is beautiful, I regularly look at it and see shooting stars. The weather: days of sunshine but interspersed with heavy downpours of rain, which keeps everything green here in NSW. Being able to sit and socialise outside in the evenings. Amazing wildlife - parrots, lizards, possums, kangaroos, even the spiders! Gorgeous, sandy beaches. Welcoming people. Beautiful NSW countryside and lots of great places to go camping, for minimal cost. Sydney's harbour Fantastic vineyards and good, affordable wine. Trees that are green all year round. Houses with separate laundry rooms, plus being able to hang washing out all year. Makes life easier. Well observed speed limits in school zones.

Ausborn Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 After all my travels in last ten years things I appreciate about oz when I was away laid back approach to life. Coastal lifestyle and water sports open spaces weather for lifestyle really learned to appreciate quality of red meat, seafood and in season fruit. being a tradesman , I believe we are in a better place in society here. I see a lot of poms on here quick to call a lot of Aussies bogans, most of us are tradies not bogans. We drive work utes , were boardies, thongs after work and we get paid well to do the hard work most wouldn't last 5 minutes doing.We don't have our nose ten feet up our own arses and seem to be appreciated by our fellow folk here in oz. Uncrowded beaches the fishing, diving , camping that's on offer multiculturalism working better here than anywhere I've been in my travels. Casual dress sense. Walking out the house in my boardies and a pair of thongs. The positive attitude of Aussies towards Australia from being such a small( newly developed) country and over my generation we have watched the country form into something which most of us take pride in. Really should start toughing up on immigration though from Britian after reading some of the #### I've read on here this morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Celt Down Under Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 The scent of gumtrees. Several beautiful beaches a few minutes drive away. Cars that run on LPG with it available at almost all service stations. The crazy laugh of the Kookaburras. Rosellas and Lorikeets in the garden. Tree ferns. Compulsory superannuation. Melbourne trams. The weather. Free use BBQ's in nearly all parks. I could go on and on, but these are just a few of the things that I love about Australia.
