Expat Experiences of Life in Australia (submit yours here)
I've been here nearly 6 months now in Adelaide and I love it. Food I find is dearer than the U.K but eating out is alot less here. I'd say come to Australia for a reccie before you take the plunge and emigrate. Look at Perth, Melbourne, Adelaide, Gold Coast and see which area of Aus you can see yourself living in.
Having lived in Adelaide for way too long for family reasons if you like a VERY quiet life (some call it god's waiting room) surrounded by pretty conservative people who like to stick to the people and the things that they know then, yes, you'll love it. If you prefer a cosmopolitan lifestyle and mix as well as more open minded people and attitudes then choose Melbourne...or stay in Europe!
In my opinion eating out is excellent and generally very good value compared to the UK. Supermarkets don't have the huge range of the UK but the fresh produce including meat and fish is far superior. They don't have a massive range of ready meals but thats not altogether a bad thing!
