Tonight the Australian dollar has hit parity with the US Dollar ......... it was 2:1 with the pound just over a year ago, now it's up to 1.5:1 .... time to emigrate ?

[andlid]

[ATTAK Z]

would they let you in is the Q...

 

For Oz

depends on age (under 40 I think), qualifications, and points for speaking English .... all good

 

 

For Zimbabwe

I think it's better if you're black

[Beavis]

Oz is 45 iirc

[rtbiscuit]

Yes, looked at it a few years ago. I was looking for retirement residency and I met all the requirements but in the end decided against it. My dad worked in Geelong for Shell for 12 months and loved it there. Said The Aussies are a bit noisy and he was surprised by how often it rained in fact Melbourne is actually wetter than London. Great place to visit but some Aussies will give Immigrant Brits a hard time.

You won the Ashes what more do you want??!! As for culture you sent all your criminals to colonise...

 

That cyclone is pretty scary. I'm watching te news now and it's about to hit land at high tide. Swells up to 12m and 300kmh gusts. Not fair for the Queenslanders - they're still recovering from the floods.

 

Have them in your thoughts/prayers today.

Cyclone reported to be stronger and bigger than Katrina . Worst storm in Australia's history and exceedingly dangerous, BBC news are reporting 175mph winds when it strikes in a few hours time!!

Perhaps on the upside, for those looking to immigrate that are building industry associated, might be a bit of work to be had.

To try and appreciate the scale of Yasi... here it is super-imposed onto the top of the UK..... and most of Europe....

 

 

Reports coming in that towns have been completely devastated and some written off the map

Fair play Australia has only been in the news for the horrendous weather, it looks savage. The girlfriends' parents were telling me about the time they went over there about 10 years ago and couldn't get over why all the cars looked like they'd been punched, turns out they had hail stones come down the week before between the size of golf balls and bigger.
