Each year, The Economist produces a list of the world's most liveable cities. Using a variety of different data sources and rating each city dependent upon a range of different criteria, Australia's cities generally rank high in the list and 2010 saw four of the country's cities ranked in the top 10. If you're planning on making a move to Australia, whether permanent or temporary, you could do a lot worse than the following four areas, officially regarded as Australia's most liveable cities. Melbourne - ranking third with a rating of 97.5 (half a point behind Vancouver, Canada, which was first and 0.4 points behind second place Vienna, Austria), Melbourne is Australia's most liveable city in 2010 according to The Economist, something that both most residents and visitors would agree with.

Expensive, depressing and tiring are all words that have been used to describe the UK in recent years. The UK economy has taken a massive hit since a hung Parliament was announced on 7 May, the day after the General Election and with a now weaker pound, everything seems to be getting more and more expensive. Whilst this economic uncertainty can be seen in various different aspects of general life in the UK, it is shown easiest in one of the factors that affects a substantial amount of the UK public - petrol prices. According the AA's Fuel Prices report for May 2010, the cost a litre of unleaded petrol at a garage rose once more and is now costing at least 121.5 pence per litre - a record high - with diesel rising to 122.9 pence per litre. When a country is in the same state that the UK is, it's difficult not to wear rose-tinted glasses when looking at other countries, making the temptation of a move to another country all that greater. However, what is different about Australia is that even when the UK is thriving and the economy is booming, the allure of moving to Australia is still there. If you've had enough of the UK and want to move to Australia, then you need a valid visa...more
