So you'd be girth in Perth! Would you change your forum name??!! LOL

Never been to Oz. But when I went to Washington last year I very nearly didn't come back. Didn't have a work permit but found a job, and found a place for us all (3 of us) to live, and a school for Sophie. Only I couldn't do it to Anne. Although when I got home she told me that she wouldn't have been surprised to get a call. And then life got in the way again. We're back to the USA next year...

Perth > Sydney though is about the same as San Francisco > New York! It would be one hell of a trek for a rideout. I have never been to Perth/WA and even though I'm touring round Australia for the next 4 month, I'm still not going to make it to the West coast. It's a shame, because I have a load of friends here in Sydney who came from Perth and the West coast is supposed to be lovely. It is the most remote city in the world though!

I can only comment on the difference in lifestyle from London to Sydney as that is my experience, but I would say that neither city is a true reflection on the rest of each respective country in terms of cost of living!

I earn roughly half what I earned in London, though due to a combination of cheaper living and less monthly outgoings, I have ended up better off at the end of the month. The weather is awesome! Seriously, it is amazing what sun can do for your mood! Yes, it rains from time to time, but 80% of the time is sunny. There are some amazing roads and and places to go biking, though 2nd bike prices are generally more inflated than the UK and kit is generally more expensive. Petrol is cheap though as are trackdays

I miss family and have only been able to get back to the UK to visit once this year. Christmas in the middle of summer is just plain wrong, though a 3 week holiday in the summer for christmas is pretty nice!

Not sure what else to say; as others have mentioned, if you don't like it, you can always return, but I guess if you don't try, then you'll never know!

If you want to know anything else then just give me shout

Australia is brilliant. That is all

Maybe, but NZ is better - and I'm off there on Holiday @ the end of the week

Is that where they wear the silly long socks with the shorts so you can just see knee?

Cool - whereabouts?

Not oz, but I know someone that moved to NZ 6 months ago, they love it, he gets paid less but living is cheaper like others have said.

Edit - They joined the NZ police force
