The Three Main Reasons Why You Need To Move To Australia
Each and every year, over one hundred thousand people pack up their bags and make a move to Australia
. Some are moving to live with family, some to work for an employer and some are going to study. All of them, however, have secondary reasons for moving. Reasons that are so often discussed that make several of Australia's cities feature in The Economist's World's Most Liveable Cities list (in the 2010 list, Melbourne, Sydney, Perth and Adelaide were all featured) and just as importantly, reasons why the immigration statistics have increased almost year on year for decades.Australia isn't a perfect country to move to and just like any part of the world, there are good and bad points about Australia. However, most would agree that the negative aspects really do seem insignificant when compared to the copious amount of positive points that the country offers.
Summed up into three separate headings, the following reasons are those that can be considered the most prominent for a move to Australia.
Weather - think of Australia and what's the first thing that comes to mind? Kangaroos? Koala bears? Surfing? The Outback? Whatever your immediate thought is of Australia, look past the main object and what do you see? It would be surprising if it wasn't a glaring sun that was baking everyone and everything.
Due to its location on earth, Australia is subject to a fantastic climate, however, where you're planning on moving to in the country does depend on the general weather conditions that you'll be getting used to.
For example, live in the country's most popular city, Sydney and you'll be able to enjoy an average summer temperature of the low 20 degrees centigrade, whilst the winters have never dropped under 2.1 degrees (recorded on 14 January 1939). Move to Western Australia, however and summers are a lot warmer, with the maximum temperature ever being recorded being 50.5 degrees centigrade on 19 February 1998.
People - long been regarded as some of the most friendliest people on the planet, Australians are naturally accommodating, welcoming and sociable, shown largely by the fact that you're likely to get called 'mate' whether you're meeting someone for the first time or have known them for 10 years.
In addition, there's a general consensus in Australia that everyone should be equal. There's obviously somewhat of a social divide between the poorer and richer families, but no where near as great as there is in other countries.
Showing just how friendly the Australians try to be and how they always try to make people feel equal, if you were a male and needed to get a taxi on your own, it would be considered to be a massive faux pas if you got in the back. Whilst a taxi driver in the UK wouldn't think twice about this, an Australian taxi driver would get the impression you thought that you were better than them and were too posh to sit next to the driver.
Way of life - linked in with the hospitality of the Australians, the general way of life in Australia is something that can take a lot of getting used to for those who aren't from the country - not for the fact it's bad, but simply that it is so laid back and relaxed it's unlike any type of way of living in the UK.
In the UK and America especially, you live to work, seemingly spending most of your day either working or thinking about work. In Australia, however, it's entirely the other way round and although the country has a thriving economy, everyone seems to work to live, carrying out their job in an efficient but light-hearted manner so that they can enjoy the rest of the day doing what they please.
