I found it boring after a while and too conservative and that is why I moved away again! If you are looking for a quiet life with beautiful nature it is good! I was also shocked by the excessive alcohol consumption there! Lee, I used to live in Melbourne! Maybe I am just too much used to the cultural and historical diversity of Europe!

I'd like to know what area Selena was living in! I come from Queensland and we're incredibly relaxed there. I have found the more southern areas to be conservative with things like dress and expectations. It's like any other place - pick a rural area, get a rural lifestyle, head to the city and that's what you'll get. Is Australia a tough place for a minority to live in? In some areas, definitely. Like any nation the more rural you get, the smaller the minds seem to, but city areas are definitely more multicultural. That said, there are always the exceptions to the rules. Don't let the possibility of racists rule your decision. Come and see for yourself.

Don't believe that woman ! She distorts , exaggurates & twists my words to suit her own purposes ! Yes , there is a water shortage.. Yes, we are required to limit our use of water , but as I write it happens to be pouring & we have had the best rain in a very long time over the last few days. This country is one of the few on earth where people can live free of the sort of racial tension so common in many parts of the world.......where if you work hard you will be rewarded ....where the religious discrimination practised in many parts of the world is not a part of our way of life. Even Ghanouge would be welcomed here ....doesn't that speak volumes ! lol edit...You said what I could not say Webby...congratulations !

let's be honest here: I have to tell you that there is a lot of talk about racism against Arabs. So let's be fair: the sorts of Arabs who choose to migrate to Australia are nothing I met in Lebanon and nothing to be proud of. Many of them decide not to mix or adapt here, they don't bother to learn English and don't worry about educating their children leaving them to roam the streets in gangs ( I know, I have worked with these people) The concept of being paid unemployment is so huge that they milk it as much as they can. Insurance fraud? ditto. These people have hijacked the word Arab, because they make the news and we don't. Having said that, I can honestly say that in the 20 years I have lived here, I, nor my family, have never felt discriminated against or treated differently because of our origin. My conclusion is that if you intend to live in a country, you need to be ready to live its life, people aren't stupid, they can tell the difference between law abiding, tax payers " normal new Australians" and those who want it all without giving an inch.

I have no clue; but from what I am reading above, it seems that Australia is like any other place: you are not in your country, and you should be following the country's rules and way of life. Otherwise, how can you expect to be accepted by them? When in Rome, do like the Romans do! If you turn the table, how would you welcome an Australian that is not following or at least respecting your ways?
