G'day Richard,

This is the third time I've tried to post so I'm not going to rewrite everything all over again! Have you ever been to Australia? What is attracting you to us? What are YOU seeking in the way of life in a new country?

My suggestion would be to make a list of what you want and what you don't want and take it from there. If you've never been here before, I would recommend you come down for a visit to see for yourselves if this is where you really want to be. A sort of 'try before you buy' concept! All the online research and glowing recommendations in the world are no match for personal experience.
