Life Downunder

"Australia really is a great place to live and to visit"

WHY? - Is it the weather? - Can it be the beaches?

 Life in Australia

There are people arriving from countries all over the world on every day of the week to live in Australia for all these reasons and a lot more.

The majority of the 20 million people that live in Australia live along the coast because the centre of the country is mostly arid and desert, we call it the "outback".

Seven of the state capitals, which are the major cities of Australia, are positioned right on the coastline making them all wonderful places to visit.

Australian Cities

What do we like to do? "Well," that is such a hard question to answer because we are so competitive. Like most people we enjoy our family lives, picnics, cycling, fishing, a day at a sports event. Most of us start playing some kind of sport at a very young age and that stays with us throughout our lives. In reality, Australia is considered one of the most competitive nations on Earth.

Australian enjoy all the seasons, in summer there are the beaches, cricket and water sports and in winter there are at least four major football codes and even snow skiing.

Australian Cities

Owning your own home is very important, it is installed into every Australian at a young age to save for your future and buy your own home, so most of us do.

Australian's like to own stuff; our nation are enormous users of the mobile phone and computers, we will buy just about any modern technological gadget.

Our homes are built mainly of brick and mortar because there is plenty of clay and timber is short, it is often said by people flying into places like Sydney; "look at all the red roofs on the houses". That is the terracotta tiles. Take a look next time you fly in.

You can experience the outback life of the cattle and sheep stations by visiting one of the many STATION AND HOMESTEAD RESORTS that you can find right here on the site.

Our shopping centres are built like satellites around the major populated areas and in the country towns the corner store is still the favourite place to shop. Because we are an industrious lot, we have built shops of every kind. Some of the shopping centres are so large and have such a variety of stores you can get lost, then finding the car, well that is another story.

Then there are the fetes, festivals, car boot sales and open air markets. Aussies frequent them on just about every day of the week. See AML section on AUSSIE FESTIVALS that will tell you more.

The motor car! Yes, Australians just have to own one, our population is expanding and home ownership is still important. So to own the land and a house we need to move further and further into the country and as such we move further away from work and other facilities transport is very important. So we are also into our cars; take alook at the AML section on MOTOR CAR CLUBS - CLICK HERE

Going out in Australia. Our mode is usually very casual and laid-back, as is our dress, however we are up with the times and are able to dress for all occassions when needed.

Schools - Australians are very proud of our schools, from kindergarten to university. As our population expands into new housing developments we ensure our schools are either there first or well on the way. Education in this country is of the utmost importance. Knowledge is power.

"Our National emblems the kangaroo and emu are on the Commonwealth Coat of Arms because neither of them take a step back wards.

"You can feel very assured that living in Australia is
something very, very special".
