Is Australia better than the UK?

I am currently living in the UK, bored of the moody moany people, the wet cold grey weather, and the rocketing house prices. So I have been considering moving to Australia as a long term option. I would like people who have had first hand experience to either help me out with any tips, or let me know the problems they have encountered. Also overall was it the right move form them and why?
Thank you.

It definitely must be, otherwise why would so many English people immigrate here?

i live in australia and have lived in the uk on and off for the past two years and i belive australia is a much better place hence the discession to live here
climate is much better though expect really hot days in australia
the house prices have already rocketed over here except for in tasmania and rurual areas really
the people are much nicer in general and the food is extravagent

Australia.... well, you wouldn't have the constant cold and grey weather that you would have in the UK. House prices are going up here though, at least where I'm currently living.

It is up to you to decide. Naturally the Aussies will think their country is better and I have to agree. I am Polish. I love it here. I do not miss the snow and the cold or the food. Yes it is hot and it is very dry, we live in the country. I am in what they call the CFA to fight the fires and the local people are lovely. They accept me as one of them. Yes sometimes I do miss the churches and maybe a bit of the traditional holiday at Christmas, but I have no regrets

no place is better when you are not contented. good luck, god bless. shine.

I'm an American, but used to have an Australian girlfriend, and learned a lot from her. Australia has warmer and drier weather, so you'd probably love that aspect of it. And the people are generally upbeat. Suggest you fly over there and spend a month or so... and then decide.


It's me ♥
Yes it's better :) I currently live in Australia and it's a great place!
Trust me.

I was born and raised in OZ and i can tell you its awesome, we have everything the best beaches, great nightlife, breathtaking country sites and its safe. I recently went all over europe and to london its was good but very expensive and over populated. Melbourne is your best choice has a bit of everything, nice beaches, europeon influences, employment opportunities and moderate property values.. Sydney is way too much hussel and bussel and the people are as nice !


Catherine
Come to Australia! :)

It might get a little hot in the summer.. But its all good.. we have beaches

Come to our great country The land Downunder
Look into it carefully we are not just next door like europe!
Think about where you want to live, as there are many gr8 places to live in our awsome country

Yes, i left the UK for Australia. When back there a few months ago and counldn't believe how moody everyone looked, everyone walking around looking at their feet and not smiling, and the rain as much as we would like some rain here i think it would make me sucidal all those horrid/wet days again.

Australia is really hot, if you like warm temperature then great go there! England definately is colder and foggy but thats just how it is. None of them are better. I kindof have to go eat but move or stay depending on work or universities there. Do some research!
Good luck! GOTTA GO!


Goonhilda
Well der!

It's warm, it has a great standard of living, there's heaps of jobs... You can actually afford to buy a house here. Come to Australia.

I would suggest holidaying here first and then decide. Or work here for 6months etc.

Some places are nicer and friendlier than others. Depends where you go. House prices are on the rise in city areas and most people can't afford now to buy straight into the market in the cities unless they had/have prior investments or a good paying job - not the average Jo.

We have our faults and problems as all countries do but we have our positives as well. I like it here but we aren't perfect.

I know some Brits who have moved here and loved it! And some who wanted to go back home asap - main reason being the weathers to hot!

Good luck on your decision!


But Why??
what do you think?????


Mister
Mate,

it's all up to you.

i bloody love it here!

think long term, think Australia.

i live in australia and frankly i hate it. i was born in europe, and when i went back for a holiday i saw all the advantages. everything is close, whereas in australia everything is soo bloody far away. you have to fly for 7 hours to get to another continent (asia).
i could go on forever.
everything here is overpriced, houses, food, clothes (especially if they are not made in china). there is a drought which has made the price of electricity, gas and water rise.
there is a busload of tax to pay each year and the education system is really bad. not to mention hospitals.
i really dont like the climate either, it goes from one extreme to another.
heads up, australian people aren't that friendly either, they dont even want to offer their seat on a bus for a pregnant lady.
crime is quite high and so are road accidents.
i dont think it was the right move and i really wish i was anywhere in europe right now.
sorry, the prognosis isn't quite good.
