Maybe it'll work out or maybe it won't. But if you have that negative an opinion it certainly won't lead to happiness here or anywhere else for that matter.

If you were involved in mining you could see this coming but otherwise it's possibly going to be worse. Lots of Aussies I know are trying to figure out how to get an EU passport through their emigre grandparents etc... On the other hand my wife has recently been offered three jobs back in Ireland! I can't speak for the eastern states but there's a chill wind down under.

Im sitting here in Sydney ..cant go out because its too hot.!! .Let me give you a bit of background , if your interested Lol.... Im from Dublin, Im 55yrs lady with 3 kids 6 grandkids ...5 sisters 2 brothers and a whole heap of friends & relations ....came to Oz 2010 to follow my first love after he legged it in 1979....(another story) lol...In my opinion , Sydney is not a better place, just different ...still have all the problems with drugs/alcohol/mental health issues that we have at home . My husband has worked here for 34 yrs ..owns his business and home ...worked his ass off for it ...Now , we want to go home ..and we are in the process of getting there ...and it really annoys me to read all the negative remarks ..everyone has a different story to tell...the amount of people saying "Its a Kip" ' Stay where you are" ..Never underestimate homesickness/ isolation/ no sense of belonging... Yes , Iv sat at Opera house looking at the harbor bridge in awe ....and it really is a beautiful place ... but I, to be honest find it boring and superficial, all centered around the afternoon Barbie/beach, favourite topic of conversation is how much you paid for such n such .. . In bed by 9.30 cos everyone has to get up at 5/6 to get to work most , 6 days a week.. hour drive each way .. Yep Sun is lovely ...but try working in it ..or carrying your shopping/kids ..different story believe me lol.....just my opinion .and maybe a little harsh.. but there ya go, we cant wait to get home ....

I'm restless and frustrated and to be honest a little depressed. As you said it's so grim here compared to Oz. I'm looking for work at the moment so hopefully I get something quick and get into a routine. Everything is such a rip off here. Don't get me started on car insurance. I'll definitely be leaving again after I'm finished college in 2 years. Hope you settle back in.
