I went back in 1988 (the Bicentenary year) and stayed until 2002. Lived in various suburbs of Sydney. I had a sign-writing biz for ten years. Got married, bought a house and had a daughter.
What a wonderful place Australia is, and such lovely people.
I hope you contribute more, keezoy. Perhaps you could compare some of the issues being discussed here with corresponding issues in Aussie. Good on yer, mate!

Anyway, we all adore our home countries for better or for worse
(I’m just saying that- I would leave if I could but I can’t)At least we won the Rugby

Re: Do you ever
Australia is hard to get into now as older people.I understand with the way of the world's finances...They cannot afford to keep us if we get real sick for instance...
I have family connections still with Australia my Mothers's Sister and her Husband went on the cheap passager's ships of the late 50'
Thread..I do avoid some threads if I feel..not for me..but then I might change my mind...so no real rules for me..do it and regret or enjoyed that.. Tis my way..

Edit - Just in case ayone is thinking of bothering to read through this thread, I'm adding this edit after the first 30 mins of it running and advising you that it's going nowhere in particular and can easily be considered as friendly and unwieldy. Not really worth the effort of making sense of it, 'cos it hasn't so far and probably won't
One idea, I came up with, was to write a thread with really boring content..
That might make everyone feel better about theirs!
