FRESH MEAT: AUSTRALIAN AND UK PRICES COMPARED FOR BEEF Last week I did a post called Fresh Fruit and Veg: Australian and UK Prices Compared.Mary, in the comments, wondered how a similar cost comparison would work out on meat and fish.

The female bush fly pesters you because she wants your saliva, blood, mucus and tears; it’s how she gets her protein. She needs it to breed and it’s why she is so persistent and so in your face.

WHY SOME MIGRANTS QUIT AUSTRALIA TO RETURN TO THE UK Great post, Bob, thank you. Myself and my family are awaiting our PR visa being granted and having the wobbles a bit.

QUICK GUIDE TO CHOOSING A CITY IN AUSTRALIA BY BOBINOZ Hi I think the recent changes in immigration policy favour people settling in the regional areas. How do these areas compare with cities like Adelaide, Melbourne or any other major Aussie city with respect to the water availability,economy, environment, schools, university, grocery shopping , cost of NEW ZEALANDERS IN AUSTRALIA: WHAT’S THE PROBLEM? In last week’s post about Americans in Australia I announced that it would be the last of my “ in Australia” series. At the time I thought it was. Then I got an email this week from a New Zealander asking about how his pension might work if he were to move here to Australia and whether or not he required permanent residency.

But that is not an opinion shared by everybody. For some time I have been working on a post called ’10 Reasons Why NOT to Move to Australia’. DARWIN; WHAT’S IT REALLY LIKE? SUNSETS, OUTDOOR LIFE AND Darwin, from what I can make out, is definitely not about city life. It’s about enjoying the great outdoors and the area certainly has that in droves. Eat picnic food and drink BYO beer and wine from your Esky while sitting at the free tables and chairs supplied at Stokes Hill Wharf; enjoy movies under the stars at the Deckchair Cinema; or USA VERSUS AUSTRALIA: PRICE COMPARISONS Amazon USA – $65.00 plus sales tax plus currency adjustment equals the equivalent of $82.62 AUD. I found the same camera, quite easily, here in Australia for $73.50. So, already Australia are edging it in these random items, but it gets much worse for the US when you go out to eat in a restaurant or just have a drink.

WHAT AGE IS IT SAFE FOR KIDS TO GO TO THE SHOPPING MALL ON It seems the grey area is around 11 to 14.

AUSTRALIA, BEER, TAX AND PRICES COMPARED VERSUS USA I was born in and lived in Adelaide, South Australia for 34 years before migrating to the US, so speak on taxes with some authority.

I will start with my favourite email so far, received in July 2017:Dear Bob,
Please excuse the private email but I really just very shortly and sweetly would like to thank you for your inspiration! In 2013 I read your blog. In 2014 I bought a ticket. In 2015 I got on a plane. In 2016 I busted my balls in a sales job. In 2017 I was given my own office in my favourite place, HERE in Brisbane and all being well over the next few months, will be sponsored and on my way to staying here forever. I found a country I love, a job I love and a woman I love ALL because I stumbled across your website in an angry moment back in 2013… Brisbane? Where the hell is Brisbane… Thank you for helping change the mind and spirit of an otherwise (at the time,) angry spoilt 26 year old from Hertfordshire. I hope maybe one day I can buy you a beer to say thank you!Charlie
—————————————————————————- Dear Bobinoz, Mrs Bobinoz and Elizabeth, Bob; your posts and blogs and advice and tips and comparisons and costings are all invaluable to us, they fill us with eternal hope …………. Thank you, thank you, thank you. . . . . infact I cant say enough thanks. (however if you could fix us up a couple of residency visas that’d be the best thing you could pass on to us)😉
Cheers all
Wayne + Katie.
—————————————————————————-Subject: Thanks!
Just wanted to say hi and thanks Bob! Although I am not from the UK, but just a “yank”, I am thoroughly enjoying your site. Your site has been a comfort, source of info and comic relief for me. I’m very excited about the move but have all the same fears you’ve had to go through! Keep writing!Cheryl
————————————————————————– Since I discovered your posts on the web you looked to me invigorating, made me feel good, you are realistic, this is so true each moment, your tales are like if I HAVE BEEN THERE MYSELF! , because I would have considered, pondered, on all the stuff, good and bad, I feel you are like my eyes in my face and my eyes of my soul too. Also you make me smile, chuckle and laugh a lot. I imagine it would be real treat to meet you some day. Thanks to be around! Send a bear hug from Mexico. Elena ———————————————————————— Bob, you are a god. Your blog really is the most helpful thing I have found regarding my big move. THANK YOU!!!! I wish the site were easier to search.

Thank you for your help. It is really appreciated.Angel

——————————————————————————- I just stumbled across your website and I wanted to thank you for the work you’re doing. I’m a Venezuelan who lived in the USA from 1997-2002, then in Greece from 2002-today, and now I’m moving to Adelaide, SA, in March. Needless to say, it’s been a pain in the neck to find logical and easy-to-understand cost-of-living statistics. That was until I landed here.Thank you.

Thanks for the great info!Scott
—————————————————————————– Bob, OUTSTANDING website! ……..Brendon
—————————————————————————— Followed a friend’s link to your blog yesterday, and am enjoying it. As a longterm expat aussie, I’m actually reading with the eye on “do I want to go home?” “what is home anyway?”, “can I afford to go home?” and “what will I do with my cross-country skis?”. Enjoying your mix of intelligent comment, good writing and humour. And the slightly scary banner.Cheers!

—————————————————————————— Subject: Moving to Australia for an AmericanMessage/Query: Hi,
I hope that this email finds you in good spirits, certainly reading your blog has place me in very good spirits. This is more of a declarative statement more than a question, I just wanted to let you know a few things about me. First off, I am an American that was in the U.S. Navy for 10 years. I have been to many places while I was stationed in that part of the world. One of the places that I have never been is Australia and I plan on going for my birthday this year. But after reading your blog, I think that now more than ever I am convinced that I shall like to live there. . ……But I just wanted to let you know that your story has really inspired me and that is something that is very hard to do.Robley
—————————————————————————– BUT NOT EVERYBODY IS BEST PLEASED BY MY BLOG….. Subject: Whinging Pom Message/Query: The only thing worse than a Pom, is a Whinging Pom. Don’t like it here – then go back to where you belong. Ruprecht Von Stiffenburger —————————————————————————— My thanks to everyone, even Rup, for taking the time to write to me.Cheers
