Nice video. Another good thing here is that there’s so much to explore in Aus, especially Queensland where you can see the Gold Coast, Cairns, Hamilton island, Port Douglas, Airlie Beach, Townsville, Sunshine Coast and the Great Barrier Reef. I’m from Sydney and I went to Gold Coast recently for a trip and it felt like a different country because of the tropical climate up there. I definitely think Gold Coast is a great place for a family vacation as it’s got a pretty skyline and lots of theme parks such as Movieworld & Dreamworld.

Our family move to Australia in 1981, when I was 4yo. I've made the most of the opportunity and work as a geologist in the iron-ore industry in WA. It's fair to say I earn significantly more than any of my of our cousins and obviously I never would had these opportunities had we stayed in Malaysia. The only thing that is missing is not growing up with relatives, but it's not too expensive to take flights. Weather in Perth is pretty superb for about 7-8mth of the year. Peak hour traffic isn't to bad as well either.

There are a huge number of Brits and Irish living in Perth. Its well known that there are more British born people in the northern suburbs of Perth (near Joondalup) than anywhere else in Australia. Why? Hot dry summers. Perfect beaches. Large houses. Less congestion. You get to a Perth beach easily within 15 minutes or less, as Perth stretches/sprawls extensively north and south. So you can be 3 suburbs from the beach in Perth in cheap housing, but only 10-15 minutes by car. Near major train route into the city and freeways. Laid back and relaxed and lots of trees and parks. Very well planned road, transport and infrastructure.

I went the other way, giving up life in the Melbourne suburbs to take the family with small kids to rural Scotland. We went intending just 12 months. Been here 25 years. Here are my observations. 1. At some stage the initial new and exotic becomes old and normal. 2. Despite the best of intentions your friends in the old country move on. 3. Individual things like house size, tax, wages, healthcare etc are not as important as the overall; on balance where are you leading the better life? 4. The easiest migration every is UK AUS but be prepared for the endless, gentle non-aggressive racism (call it banter.) . 5. Be prepared to find new friends and hobbies. 6- the most important - give it a go. We've had horrible experiences, but we've also learned German, lived in Switzerland, learned to sail Yachts in Greece, skii'd in Austria, taken cheap holidays over to Florida, and despite moving the kids around the globe they were just fine and are happy adults. Would not have done any of this without taking a leap into the unknown. Finally - we can always "go home." :)

Disclaimer - came from recommendations and i have no issues with people moving here, that being said, study thee town you plan to live in. Be aware that every year we have bad fires and bad floods, and the more houses that get built, the worst the flood gets. Just a month ago, half my town went under water due to the newest houses had changed the path of the flood waters. Plus depending on the town, the more houses, the more stress farmers have on trying to keep all / most of their land. Also keep in mind, our towns and cities are not really built for a constant high amount of traffic, take Sydney for example. There are towns running out of room to expand. Yes our country is large, but 90%+ of it is unlivable. I don't live in a city so that could be why my views sound "harsh". Most towns cannot keep up with the growing population and demand for more jobs and more buildings, i've seen so many new houses being built straight into flood zones where that would either make those houses get damaged/destroyed or severely change the path of flood waters, causing harsher floods. So yeah, if you plan to live here, study the town and be aware, because most housing developers don't warn you about the floods. Plus, prices are increasing like mad man.

I’m from Italy and only lived in oz for 2 years especially in a situation with covid. For me Australia is the best country. Job, lifestyle, safety etc etc as you said second to none and I can tell you in Italy we are a bit spoilt! You have to work your ass off if you wanna get the PR but it worth it

Your videos are great! Always wanted to move to Australia so this gave me a lot of reassurance. Do you know when the freedom of movement will be implemented for brits? The deal between the uk and aus allows people aged between 18 to 35 to stay there for up to 3 years under the working holiday maker and youth mobility schemes. I’m just curious if you know anything about it as I can’t find an update on it anywhere

I moved from Auckland to Christchurch a few years ago but it didn't hit the spot although great for the kids, we were interested in Brisbane but settled for Christchurch. Now I'm suddenly feeling drawn TO Australia. Just not feeling it in NZ and Ive lived here my whole life. I just resonate better with Australian culture and even my Aussie relatives. They're nicer. My partner's job is 25k more for the same job here in NZ. The beaches, forests and mountains are beautiful here and that's all I'm really going to miss. I'm not use to Snakes, Sharks, Spiders and Crocs (thought I've read they're up north) but I'm sure we're fine if we swim between the flags? Lol

I've got my working holiday visa and I'm looking at heading over shortly. I just finished uni and I'll be going alone, very exciting but also very nervous! Since you went as a family our situations aren't very similar, but any input on how to socialise and meet people or advice for people going solo? One of my worries is just being lonely once I'm there. Very informative video thanks!

Im 7th gen Aussie, and count quite a few convicts who had the good fortune to be sent here, in my lineage. Im writing to assure you that not all australians work in a trench, labour on road construction, drive a truck in the mines etc. If youre worried about understanding the local slang the little that is used in everyday places is easy to grasp. If youre going to be wearing a suit, or smart casual clothes [ casuals] to work then youll understand 95%. Yes I use a few, not because Im lazy or poorly educated but normally because [ as one person has pointed out] Im telling a funny story, and the vernacular suits. There are millions in this country who speak regular english , sometimes with the aussie accent yes.... and its "no probs". I would like to point out that the stress and accent is harder to read, it's been said that "mate" can mean many things indicated by the manner of deliverance and content. "Duffer" is friendly, bloody drongo, less so, and so on. I see this as no different from the way feelings and ideas are expressed in other english speaking countries. Our slang is fun but you dont have to master it. If youre confused about ordering a beer-just ask-!

Just wondering whether it’s feasible on an annual salary of around $100k?

Alan I was born in the 50s here in Aus. I made many wonderful Italian, Greek friends in my teenage years, still friends with an Italian girl and her husband after all these years. Married I had a few Italian, Greek, Macedonian and English neighbours, all friendly funny, welcoming and funny. The English girl was so funny, loved the heat more than the locals. We’d all swap recipes. But I learned ever to joke to an Italian about food lol. Dear Italian lady across the road said she was making pizza for dinner - I said ‘jokingly’ as us Aussies do, “send one over my way” She did, she took me seriously. Oh she was a dear soul. So I mixed quite easily with people from different countries moving here, I still do, with people from other countries coming here now - the diversity of food restaurants is fantastic and I love hearing about their culture, how and why they came here. Some wonderful, some really heroic stories they’ve told me.

When gallant cook from Albion sail'd, To trace wide oceans o'er, True British courage bore him on, Til he landed on our shore. Then here he raised Old England's flag, The standard of the brave; "With all her faults we love her still" "Britannia rules the wave." In joyful strains then let us sing, Advance, Australia fair. While other nations of the globe Behold us from afar, We'll rise to high renown and shine Like our glorious southern star; From England soil and Fatherland, Scotia and Erin fair, Let all combine with heart and hand To advance Australia fair. In joyful strains then let us sing Advance, Australia fair.
