WHY DON'T I LIVE IN AUSTRALIA?

I was just watching New Life Down Under, or whatever it's called, when a British family get to check out what life would be like if they lived in Australia. In every case, life would be better down there. Better weather, better parking, better value housing, better education, better wages, better transport system.

The place seems safer, bigger, warmer, drier, more fun. City living, coastal town, country. All of it. Better than here.

So I was thinking, why don't I go and live there. Have come up with:

a) cats wouldn't like to travel that far
b) too far from Paris
c) would miss varied UK architecture

Deal breakers. Perhaps I'll go on holiday to Sydney one day though.

Arsetralia has floods bushfires poisonous snakes, killer jellyfish in the sea (oh and sharks), even regional cities get Friday traffic gridlock, those bucoliccoastal towns have NO public transport whatsoever,and public transport in Melbourne city? what a joke - just Guugle 'Connex' and read the ranting commuters. and your cats? SIX months in costly quarantine if it survives the trip out here.

Sydney is just a beach - surely there is a sunny beach closer to you than Sydney?
