JoandJon Posted September 30, 2011 Author Share Posted September 30, 2011 I think there are millions of reasons too! :biggrin: But here's a few: wonderful sunshine most of the year, beautiful sandy beaches, koalas, clean sandy parks for the children, free barbeques on the beaches and parks, fabulous rain forests and loads more!!!:biggrin: Some of it's already been counted, but I've got to give some more numbers for... #47 - 48 and 49 at least!!

Petals Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 Wide roads, wing mirrors are safe here. Laws preventing people parking all over the place :laugh: in country villages. Climate I live here Being able to go to a Beauty Spot and hardly anyone is there and if they are they are not visible. Ninety mile beach Forgot the main one for me Rye Bread Take a number system instead of queuing. Salad sandwiches Barbecues and we can be certain of the weather at certain times of the year. Close to NZ to be able to visit very easily for a holiday if missing green fields. Cars last a lot longer and most people are not worried about what car they drive. As long as it goes.

Petals Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 From today's press glad that Aus is Aus and not a member of an EEC. EEC telling Britain today that if it will not give benefits to immigrants straight away they will take Britain to Court. Aus is in charge of Aus and that is the way I like it, none of this pseudo state stuff where a pseudo government makes the laws for sovereign countries.

JoandJon Posted September 30, 2011 Author Share Posted September 30, 2011 So that's #63 - not part of the EU/EEC #64 - Macadamia nuts #65 - Kookaburras!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petals Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 Got two Kookaburras in my garden and they sit on the branch over the pond, beautiful birds and not at all shy. In fact if you go to Mothers beach in Mornington and are having a picnic they will fly down and pinch your sandwich. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest59177 Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 23. Less reliant on university degree for employment - in my experience anyway Aussie employers recognise hardwork and experience in terms of promotion rather than the need for a degree equating to a rather lowly salary (with obvious exceptions) in the UK That can change depending on occupation and what you call a 'high' salary. If you are vying for $200000/- per year a PhD in the right field will do wonders... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
