ATTAK Z Posted February 1, 2011 Author Share Posted February 1, 2011 would they let you in is the Q... For Oz depends on age (under 40 I think), qualifications, and points for speaking English .... all good For Zimbabwe I think it's better if you're black Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JetSet Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Oz is 45 iirc Yes, looked at it a few years ago. I was looking for retirement residency and I met all the requirements but in the end decided against it. My dad worked in Geelong for Shell for 12 months and loved it there. Said The Aussies are a bit noisy and he was surprised by how often it rained in fact Melbourne is actually wetter than London. Great place to visit but some Aussies will give Immigrant Brits a hard time. Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aust350z Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 You won the Ashes what more do you want??!! As for culture you sent all your criminals to colonise... That cyclone is pretty scary. I'm watching te news now and it's about to hit land at high tide. Swells up to 12m and 300kmh gusts. Not fair for the Queenslanders - they're still recovering from the floods. Have them in your thoughts/prayers today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetSet Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Cyclone reported to be stronger and bigger than Katrina . Worst storm in Australia's history and exceedingly dangerous, BBC news are reporting 175mph winds when it strikes in a few hours time!!

bronzee Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Perhaps on the upside, for those looking to immigrate that are building industry associated, might be a bit of work to be had. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aust350z Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 To try and appreciate the scale of Yasi... here it is super-imposed onto the top of the UK..... and most of Europe....

geoff-r Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 Fair play Australia has only been in the news for the horrendous weather, it looks savage. The girlfriends' parents were telling me about the time they went over there about 10 years ago and couldn't get over why all the cars looked like they'd been punched, turns out they had hail stones come down the week before between the size of golf balls and bigger.
