ghost Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Alot depends on the area I think. My experience in Australia is a lot different to people a few miles down the road . Similarly in the uk we are in a good area, and our experience will be different than people in other parts of the country! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perthbum Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 The golf's better in Oz - I can vouch for that! Is it .... That's why the belfry and like are used for majors, oz is a playground compared. I should know, I play off scratch and have played in the uk and in oz, oz does not compare to the uk gof courses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgiajoe Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Why do people take things on here so seriously, I know from previous posts that you get the HOFF and PERTHBUM giving each other banter/ stick so there's no need for other posters to turn it nasty. its good to have some English humour and have a bit of banter against each other , otherwise it's a bore Ian Ps , I've never been to oz as well, until next year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ali Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 This comment is made a lot, and I wonder whether its a WA thing? Plenty of kids out and about in the parks and playgrounds here. I think it must be certain suburbs because my son and his mates play out all the time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harpodom Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 If I agreed with what you are saying, which I don't, not trying to be funny with you, but you would be away from your family just the same, yes you would be in the same country, but you would hardly see them, personally the sunshine does it for me, family can always come and visit and have a fantastic holiday at the same time, to hit the fantastic beaches and swim in the warm azure seas and ...... Lay in the hot sunshine. What if your family cant afford to come here? Weve been here 4 years and so far, apart from my parents, none of my family has come out here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
debbie13 Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Definately better for children. There is much more emphasis on family time here and so many of the activities are geared around children. we definately spend more time together as a family- in the UK my husbands job was 90 miles an hour, here he is under a lot less pressure. The weather certainly makes it easier to do things together over here, in the uk we were plagued by miserable weather more often than not, and most of the activities had to be payed for. We have never spent so much time together outdoors as we have since being here. As for schooling, I can only say we are more that happy with the system in Australia, my son has made so much progress in such a short space of time. Whether as they grow up, the children crave the bright lights of the Uk,I have yet to find out. But so far for us this is the best option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The Ropey HOFF Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 What if your family cant afford to come here? Weve been here 4 years and so far, apart from my parents, none of my family has come out here Moving away from your family, even in the same country means most families hardly see each other, I know this from experience, it might not be as bad emigrating, but barely much better, you might have good intentions to start with, but over time, meet ups get less and less, so the effect is very similar so to me there's little difference ..... Just my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VERYSTORMY Posted July 6, 2012 Author Share Posted July 6, 2012 With regards to family, it will very much depend on individual circumstances. Some families will be closer and the extended family play a bigger part in lives of children. Ok, what about culture. Oz is incredibly isolated. The UK has Europe on it's doorstep. This, personally I think is a huge plus for the UK. Especially for those coming to Perth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
