Hi everyone
I am an Australian and I am really happy when I read comments from so many people saying they dream of visiting/living in Australia.
I love Australia but I guess because we are so isolated from the world we don't get to hear a lot of feedback about our country. So I am interested to know what it is that appeals to the international Answers community about Australia? Is it the beaches, weather, the people?

To yahwoon - I did not ask why you hated Australia. I am sorry you feel this way about our country but I love the fact that we have embraced so many new cultures. It makes things more interesting. If that is your attitude I hope you find a new country to move to.

We have what others do not have. Space to move.
This huge place only houses 21 million people.
The beaches are trully magnificent all around the country. You can choose to visit rainforest, snow fields, go fossicking for gems or gold, ramble in the outback, see millions of years of age mountain ranges, swim with dolphins, do harbour cruises, surf or just tan on the beach. Visit a casino in any state, watch International acts on stage anywhere and generally find warm and friendly people.
With all that is happening around the world with terrorism Australia is an isolated place that does not have the same threat as other places on the world and we have the benefit of checking everyone who comes in or goes out of this country to alert us if someone is not a tourist and is here for other activities.
The race riots at Cronulla were a disgrace and the police should have used water cannons on them. Thats what happens when "kids" and alcohol get together. That is not what Australians are like and not what we want this country to be like.

Lived in Oz while in uni and absolutely loved the country. Beautiful beaches, laid-back lifestyle and friendly people(most)
It's very different from my homeland where a typical workday can be up to 12 - 14 hours. This means you hardly get to spend time with family and friends. Main reason I want to get back to Oz

Not true ! Racist, always have some racial riots but many they likes the land and the ocean natural view, aboriginals and animals like koala and kangaroos etc.

I like the girls. You all seem so happy, and not all ****** up and spoiled like American girls. Most of you could kick the snot out of American chicks too. And you are a pretty bunch of girls as well.
