Dear readers, it's a cultural myth that we have deadly creatures here. The majority of tourists actually make it home safely though we do like cheekily scaring backpackers about the dangers of OZ wildlife, especially the English ones and I do admit a few tourists in far North QLD did end up a tasty a tasy dinner for a salt water crocodile but they went skinny dipping at night. The poor croc probably got severe alcohol poisoning after that culinary delight.

I like the laws in OZ, but to be honest there are a lot of creepy crawlies than can kill a person there, and I am legally blind and cant' see them coming. Also, I feelmost at home in the forests, and most of OZ is desert. I am thinking maybe New Zeland instead? At least it is mostly green.

It takes 37 hours on a plane to get to you, love. And back, if I don't like it. I'll just stay here and read your posts.

I don't know why we're so obsessed with the government taking our stuff away. We don't do that here, we phase stuff out over time. Way back when, (the 70's), big smog producing cars had to go!!! The government was gonna come for our cars and force us to buy compacts and electric cars!! But that didn't happen. They phased them out by coming up with better cars. In the 80's they where gonna come for our refrigerators and air conditioners because of the ozone. Didn't happen. They're not coming for our guns. But all those idoits posting videos of them shooting up targets with their bump stocks and converted semi auto assault style rifles,....they know who you are now. Idiots

I think it would be a lovely place to live.

As I understand it even as a Computer Scientits I could not move to Australia. One needs to be a Millionaire to obtain permanent residence.

Visited Australia a few years ago. Loved it. People were so nice. Americans have a lot to learn from other countries. That being said, I'd miss NYC too much if I moved away.

Yes home is where you find inner peace

No we are watching in the us trump shot putt in syria. In lack of peeing russians.

No no no, it is horrible, great white sharks will jump out the plug hole in your bath and bite your head off, deadly brown snakes hide in your mail box, dead posties everywhere as a result, drop bears in every 2nd tree. @jules4169 wants someone to go to the Ekka with on his Birthday but its on the otherside of the river.
(mate, shhhhh, its a secret, look how many overseas athletes have done a runner since they got here, even some coaches. Getting people to have a look is a big mistake, they never want to leave)
Honestly people, sharks, lots of sharks, BIG sharks, and that's not the worst, our saltwater crocodiles actually eat the sharks, and they walk the streets of most cities, yet even they get eaten by the deadly brown snakes.
