How do they like it? Did they move the entire family?

I had a guy on the phone today that lived there for a while and is thinking of moving back.

I come to Australia as many people do
To see the old koala, hitch a ride on a kangaroo
To hear somebody call me mate and call somebody blue
To hear the aborigine play a didgeridoo

Go ahead, make the move. You will be closer to your beloved China.

I have an old coworker that lives there now. Our old company was bought by an Australian company and he transferred.

Him and his wife love it. They don't plan on moving back.

My cousin takes his family down there six months out of the year. His wife teaches at one of the universities for that six months. They love it and are considering making it a permanent move

Yep. Dude I know renounced his citizenship after he got married over there cause in America he was still having to pay social security and Medicare taxes on top of all the Australian taxes. He's a weird dude but probably posts here all the time.

A roommate from college. His wife is from Japan so it made the path to citizenship easier. I know about 1-2 dozen people who hold dual passports in various countries.

Yes.
They really loved the beer and kangaroos.
So they all moved. Sold everything.

Lived there for a few years. Good place. Probably a bit like California. Very liberal. Very small population so easily manipulated to the flavor of the month with some of the climate change stuff. They’re starting to figure it out a bit but I wouldn’t trust to hold any real freedoms there. Very safe place for families. Very expensive.

They moved back within a year after finding out their fiance from Down Under was a puss.

Met this lady on the ski lift who immigrated to New Zealand. I asked why and she gave me this incredulous look and was like because it’s the greatest place on earth. She lived next to some national forest with a river running through her property. Sounded sweet.
