It's got everything you could wish for and more. Do you yearn for a night at the opera? The bright lights, the city, the clubs Or a small country town miles from nowhere With a servo, a store and two pubs? Would you rather a snow covered mountain Where the air is so fresh and so clean Or to gaze at the sky from the desert Seeing stars, as they’ve seldom been seen To dine at the finest of restaurants Or relax on a tropical isle Maybe a trek through the jungle Is more to your liking and style? Should you search every far away country With the risk that your search is in vain? No, the riches are all on our doorstep The mountains, the jungles, the plains There’s a magical mystical nation Where there’s still lots of space left to roam To the rest of the world, she’s Australia To the luckiest ones she’s called home.

What's it like to live in Aussie? - fairly low population (21 million) - great transportation system (particularly Melbourne and Sydney) - great beaches (Gold Coast!) - fresh food - fresh air (NOTHING like it, just breathing the air is a treat!) - great health care... if you have health problems or thinking of old age, going to Australia is a good move. Public hospitals are often better than private ones - clothes are quite expensive - makeup is expensive (Aussie brands are cheaper outside of Aussie!) - cigarettes are expensive (a way to discourage people from smoking) - foods that are bad for you are expensive (ex. soda) - lots of things are more expensive in Australia than in the States!!! - limited brand selection (in order to protect Aussie industry), you will NOT find Hersheys in the supermarket - laidback culture - great if you're the type that easily gets stressed - warning: shops close at 5/6 pm except for 1 day a week (9 pm Thursdays in Sydney; 9 pm Fridays in Melbourne) - great food variety (from all the immigrants that are there) - very unique flora and fauna - generally cool save for winter and summer (extremely hot) - hardly any poor people! - education: Aussie citizens can study on loan from the government and start paying back only when they are working and at a certain salary level. Great if you have kids and don't want to worry about the money for their education - the FLIES are crazy at certain times of the year I love Australia despite a lot of things there being more expensive than in other parts of the world and the stores closing so early! It's a wonderful place to live.
