Awesome place to visit, but I wouldn't want to live there. Not because I don't like it, but just because I'm not from there originally.

MIAMI - A leaping stingray stabbed an 81-year-old Florida boater in the chest, authorities said Wednesday, leaving its poisonous stinger lodged close to his heart in an incident recalling the one that killed Australian TV naturalist Steve Irwin last month.
Fire Department officials in Lighthouse Point, about 30 miles north of Miami, said James Bertakis was in a small recreational boat with two grandchildren Tuesday when the spotted eagle ray leaped aboard and struck him.

Thanks a lot for all your messages and interest.
Don't hesitate to come in Australia, the way of life is very good.
In france before to come i sold everything because i was pretty sure to stay there for a very long time.
After i think i will come back to spain, i really like Barcelona it's a very good place to live as well.

I don't see why people become Australian, and then go back to their previous countries. Being Australian should be a permanent thing, and dual-citizenship sucks.

Have been to Canberra, Sydney, Hamilton Island and Melbourne.
Would SO recommend Sydney (fantastic city with great nightlife) and equally Melbourne (I found it more cultural, but fun too).
Canberra was such an obvious new / government place although the ANZAC Museum was brilliant.
Hamilton Island reminded my husband of a sort of James Bond movie, where all is OK in the resort but you're not quite sure what's going on in the mountains ;-) The plus was the relatively short boat trip to the Great Barrier Reef, but we weren't that impressed.

I'd rather have the space, freedoms, and lifestyle, of Australia over a zippy internet connection any day. I can drive for 90 minutes from the where I live in our capital city and be sitting on a beach several kilometres long with maybe a dozen people on it. I can drive 30 minutes, or less, from the seat of our Federal Parliament in the middle of our capital city and be in the middle of untouched natural bushland. I could spend a lifetime exploring this country and still not see it all.
You can keep your megabit connections.

OZ Well not in my wishlist yet, I guess its not happenning country like USA, UK Italy etc. Do they have a unique culture or they are like USA?
They have less population and lot of desert too, Maybe their food is not much good and lots costly sorry Ozzies you will not get my tourism dollars soon London, Arizona and Singapore are more likely to get my tourism budget soon

I prefer to be European anyway because i can live and work in any country i want in the European Union, without any Visa.
And living in Europe is very good as well, you can visit many different culture easily all the countries are very closer.

I love sydney. I live in an Apartment in Pyrmont. 5 Minutes away from Darling Harbour.
Pity the only thing we are missing is cheap bandwidth. I pay $100/month for 24mbit/1mbit ADSL2+ (I'm 200m away from local exchange so I sync at max speeds) with only 100gb download limit
We Aussies get 2nd class treatment. $250 Per Mbit for bandwidth here!

I have always wanted to visit Australia as it seems to be a great place and I have heard so many great things about it.
I have met alot of Australians in Ireland and they come across as a great bunch of people. My Australian girlfriend was very pretty looking too.

A woman of twenty is like the continent of Africa - wild and untamed.
A woman of thirty is like Asia - hot-blooded and passionate.
A woman of forty is like the USA - overly-trained and too well-techniqued.
A woman of fifty is like Europe - decaying and falling apart.
A woman of sixty is like Australia - everybody knows where it is, but who wants to go there?
Australia has changed a great deal in the past 10 years. Sadly, not for the better.
