Dan_Dare Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 Yes. Is there anything not good about Australia? their politics, isolationism and a national obsession with sports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ganepark32 Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 It's strange. Living where I live, I have meet loads, and I mean LOADS, of Aussie females yet never any men. Seems strange, by the figures there. Not complaining. Nice to get a different accent when trying order a coffee (seriously, between polish and australians they are managing to keep the coffee shops open between them as they always seems to be behind the counter when I go into a coffee shop). I've thought of leaving Scotland for Australia. One day I may do it, once I'm finished with my education. I prefer the sun to the black rain clouds.

Fresh Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 I'm going to Australia for a year to study in Perth, slightly scared to be so far away but should be a great excuse to find out who I am and what I'm here for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
navarre Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 their politics, isolationism and a national obsession with sports. And the weather. Scorching. Skin Cancer abound. Not what us Britons are used to or adapted to. And the creatures. I'm no spider fan. But having a tarantula staying in your room whilst you're asleep... the thought is terrufying for arachnophobes. Other than that, good country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheikah Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 Yeh, with the hole in the ozone layer over Australia it wouldn't be good for us pale-skin pigmented people to live there. It still a lovely country though, and I wouldn't mind visiting it for a short while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But having a tarantula staying in your room whilst you're asleep... the thought is terrufying for arachnophobes. Other than that, good country. I was thinking the same thing. I could really never live there, but a short trip would be great. To bad its so far away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cube Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 This is why the news annoys me these days. What the actual news is: There are more women in Australia's cities. There are more men in Australia's country. What this article seems to want to mislead people to believe: Australia is having a major shortage of men. Look at the stats for Australia: at birth: 1.05 male(s)/femaleunder 15 years: 1.05 male(s)/female 15-64 years: 1.02 male(s)/female 65 years and over: 0.8 male(s)/female total population: 0.99 male(s)/female (2008 est.) More men in Australia between the ages of 0 to 64. Those stats are fairly similar to ours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
