Do you come from a land down under?

I do! It’s lovely here, i feel so lucky to live in such a wonderful country.

Australians are less intense than most other places. Laid back. Less formality and more likely to feel everyone is equal. If you think you're better than everyone else, it won't go down well. Kiwis are similar.

The opportunities of being born poor and ending up doing up ok are stronger than in UK and US (social mobility). But we're losing that with our right wing government doing the bidding of the wealthy and promoting a blame the poor strategy- as is happening everywhere. And oddly, thanks to Rupert Murdoch (our worst export) the people who suffer most from it now passionately support that party. When I went to uni under the Labor party, it was completely free and they paid a living allowance. That's what allowed so many born on the wrong side of the tracks to do well.

Yep I live in Australia. Well it gets really fucking hot in summer and then tries to burn itself down.

I love living here. I was born in Melbourne but have lived and travelled to other parts of the world although not the US yet. There's definitely some great places elsewhere, but i've always loved coming home to Australia. Sounds like you'd like it here too, you should definitely try to visit. We get quite a few tourists from the US and they are always so friendly and polite and say they have a great time here.

Yes, I do. So happy here. After travelling the world, I wouldn't want to live anywhere else.

I was going to say come on over and die with us but that just sounds wrong :(

That's great - but "On the Beach",really? It was just a movie - and one which was not particularly well-received by the public here in Australia when it was released.But I hope that you can make it here one day - like everywhere else,we're a little different now to the world of 1959!

You're welcome to come die with us 😆❤️

Where women glow and men plunder.

It is beautiful here you would like it
