Yeah well it's just a bit of paper really, but hopefully I can con some
naive Pommies into thinking I've got half a clue

From the numbers of your countrymen fucking up projects here and
elsewhere, I'd say it works [1]

It seems to be a fair swap, I think I know as many ex pat Poms as I do
Aussie borns. They all think I'm mad for wanting to go over

I'd say so, tbh... but whatever, it'll do you good to see here - I know some
that have come here then liked it that much, and others who decided to go
back.

Here has far more 'depth' overall, if 'things to do' are your cup of tea - I
did most of what I wanted to do in Sydney, in under a week, but having spent
a fair bit of time in London over the years, I still have plenty of things
I'd like to do there; both cities are basically the premium cities of the
respective countries (IMHO - I appreciate that Melbourne in some respects is
on par with Sydney, and I didn't get to go there), so on a 'commercial
attraction / heritage' scale, I'd say here wins hands down - but as a place
to actually live?

Thanks for the thoughts, appreciate the viewpoint. I'm hoping to have
some fun, see some of Europe and UK, and maybe stay if it works out.

The older I am getting, the more I am craving a more laid back life style,
than the one I get here... maybe I read it wrong, but in the limited
experiences I have of Oz, it struck me as somewhere that offers that in
spades - given actual time living there, my opinion may differ.

Yeah no worries there, you can get laid back pretty easily. You'd
probably be better off outside of Sydney and Melbourne for that though.

I intend, in time, to emigrate there... personal reasons are the main reason
why I don't right now, with the other being I need a bit more time in my new
career, to qualify on the points scale.

They're talking about upping the cap on skilled migrants so you might
find it a bit easier soon.
