Although we didn't end up in Oz, we did leave the UK for similar reasons, terrible weather, rising prices (no inflation according to the government ha ha ha), crime and no quality of life. Both my sons were mugged at knife point and the youngest one at 1.30 in the afternoon, almost outside our house. Obviously crime is everywhere, but we now feel so much freer and happier and it was definately worth the upheaval, especially as we had to pull the kids out of school half-way through GCES's and college courses.
