Hi Guys
I thought it would be fun for us to list 5 reasons for us either living in Australia (for those of us who already do) or for us 'wanting' to live in Australia. I'll start the ball rolling ![]() 1. Sunshine (an obvious one I know but the sun makes such a difference to you overall mood - waking up to a blue sky almost every morning has worked wonders for me! ![]() 2. The beaches (again obvious I know) - it still takes my breath away when I visit absolutely stunning beaches in Australia and find that we are sometimes the only people on that beach........amazing......and soooo relaxing. 3. Schooling - the schools look very different where we are to how they looked in the UK (scruffier would be one way to describe them!) but the schooling itself I think is superior. They focus very strongly on confidence building,manners & respect in the early years which then turns the children into very confident young people. Excellent. 4. Quality family time - hubby still does a lot of over time here but when he isnt working we find that we do a lot more together as a family. In the UK we spent almost every weekend in either B&Q or Ikea (thank god they've still got Ikea in Oz!!!) but here we spend it at the beach or swimming etc etc etc ![]() 5. The Outdoor life - if I get bored here I just get my bike out and go for a bike ride - very rarely does the weather stop me doing it (unless of course its too hot!). I walk to the park with my daughter regularly and take her swimming with a picnic - what more could a girl want! Theres that my list done - sorry I've chosen all the obvious ones ![]() Your turn!

Hi Rach, Some great reasons. They might be obvious but they are great. I envy you guys that have packed up and made the move.

Yep its a real picture. It was taken on one of the beaches in Port Stephens NSW two weeks ago - I think it was Fingal Bay but I'm not 100% - we visited about 8 beaches while we were there and they were all equally as stunning!

I cant really pin point a reason we moved here to be honest. We were given the opportunity (I was offered a job) and so we thought we might as well go for it. There wasnt really anything in the UK that I was running away from, or hated, I just wanted to give it a go.
Glad I did although the weathers not all its cracked up to be. It rains more than I expected (yes I know we need it!) and in the heat of the summer its too hot for that 'outdoor lifestyle' that so many yearn for - its a case of stay indoors with the aircon on! Thankfully my 4WD has got aircon so not even the weather can put a stop to that!! TB |

Oh, five reasons from me.
1. It's not home. 2. The weather. 3. The beaches. 4. Really, really friendly people. 5. The attitude embodied in two expressions, "give it a go" and "it'll be right". |
