Sorry to dissappoint you but I'm sure that Melbourne gets its fair share of rain, and when I was there it was freezing. The place to go IMHO is Queensland, where you can get more house for your money and even if it rains it is so warm that you just don't care!

Don't tempt me :!: , I've been thinking the last 5 years to emigrate if this country carried on the way it is.

I thought it was quite hard to get into Australia these days.

I passed up the chance to live in Ontario many years ago and always regretted it but since going onto Canadian websites, I'm not so sure anymore.

Exactly the same moans as here, apart from property prices, with also a lot more about the USA.
 
Am'I right that you have to relies on your own saving and pension in Australia?
 
My wife's mum emigrated from Malaysia to Oz when in her late fifties .. recieves an Oz govn pension....

For us in UK, If one lives abroad, apart from certain countries, in retirement, Brit OAP earned is paid, but not index linked (Oz incredibly is one of the non index linked countries !)... Brit company pension unaffected.

Entry to Oz is a little more difficult but not insurmountable... with a number of inlaws already established there and the wherewithall .. should be a doddle .. famous last whimper ! :D

Not gone yet !! Just researching properties - I am saying if you get the biz which I posted for less than £200k then a less ambitious project would be even more palatable, have to think ease of running, access, proximity to shops, health care etc Lots to think about.
You turn your own 'hors(e)y things in your bed-sits' if you want, sounds a little Mafia istic .. I'd just use the paddock :D :D :D :D :D :D

I think it is a brilliant place but if I were going there to retire I would go further north than Melbourne where your pic was from, to where there are timber-framed houses with wide verandas to keep them cool, and where you can sit looking out over the ocean while the sun goes down, and still be in sandals and shorts at midnight and you don't need central heating; where the fringes of the rainforest come down to your back garden and where every house has a fridge just for the beer. I don't think you get this in the big cities in the south.
 
Have they got solid metal case digi cams down there cobba

You don't say ?
Actually old son I have spent a fair amount of time in Queensland, Cairns, Cape York etc ... I reckon the Coral sea is the most impressive ocean ...
But have family in Melbourne and have spent lot of time there too, I like the place ... maybe the suburbs ... Weather, well, I am a Northern Hemispherian .. I actually need the cool at times .. All been thought about mate ... cheaper property, more space, cheaper living, cheap fuel ... sell house here buy two there !! Why stay ? One life, no rehearsals...
