From the month I spent in Australia last year, I will say that the east coast (where most of the population is) is very western. When I was in Sydney I felt like I never left home. Very multicultural and not very "Australian."

I had a friend who went there for a year doing just random odd-jobs and travel. Go for it!

I keep telling you guys, that you need to come to Queensland to get the best Aus experience. Have you guys looked at brisbane? I have spent time in all capital cities and it is the best. Seriously i can tell you why Sydney and Melbourne suck really bad, but last time i did, i got uber banned

I used to really want to go to or move to Australia until I heard about all of their great firewall issues and the extremely low bandwidth caps. If they fixed those problems, I would gladly go there but until then, I will stick with visiting the kangaroos at the zoo.

Please stop using ugly big Comic Sans. It's gross.

OP - I say go for it. If worse comes to worst, just do something horrible and get deported.

I'm sorry but I do not agree. Comic Sans MS allows me to perfectly express myself as the unique individual that I am. I do not need to conform to your predefined values of society. Anyways, why do you insist on bringing this thread off-topic? We should get back to telling the OP all that we can say about that little island with as little use of reference material as possible.

By the way OP, just about everything there can kill you. All the bugs, fish, mammals and reptiles are very lethal. As such, it is the local custom to kill everything in sight. Do not feel ashamed to whet your bloodlust by tackling the first Koala that you see. You would only be doing the community a good service and earning the respect and admiration of your fellow "mates" as they call them.

um fit in well?

People really arent that racist here. As long as you are respectful you would have no dramas in Aus.

I thought you were mentioning that you didn't like all the imigrants. I've also got the feeling from Reading other stuff that both Australia and New Zealand were rather consevative countries. But then I'm a tree huging pinko commie liberal so take that with a grain of salt.
 
I lived in Australia for a year ... just south of Brisbane ... travelled from the Whitsunday Islands (central Queensland) down to Tasmania. If there was one place in the world to live in for the rest of my life (and my wife agreed :|) it would be Tasmania.

What impressed you so much about Tasmania? I dont know why, but when I think of Tasmania I cant help but think of the Tasmanian Devil. 😱
 
I heard that in Australia when you flush the toilet, the water spins in the opposite direction than my toilet water. Does this mean there are terrorist or sorcerers living in AUS?
