What is Australia like?

Question

Hi lol I know it isn't about Spanish or English but I really want to know because I'm really interested in living there. I think its the best country in the world from what i already know but I just want to know a bit about its background...... what its like to live there, what the people are like. I'm still in school so I can't live there yet but once I leave school and possibly uni, thats where im heading.

Answer 1

I am a Kiwi but the Aussies are practically our cousins, infact two of my children are Aussies lol. This is one of the places which we have lived, The Sunshine Coast. It is beautiful, a beautiful place and a fantastic lifestyle.

Soy Kiwi pero los Aussies, prácticamente son nuestros primos, de hecho dos de mis niños son australianos. Este es unos de los lugares donde hemos vivido. The Sunshine Coast, es hermosa, un lugar hermosa y una estilo de vida fantastico!

Answer 2

I want to go to New Zealand. I tried to watch Masterchef, New Zealand but I can't understand the accent because it's so incredibly different than ours here in the United States of Texas.

ja ja it just takes getting used to - remember that's what makes life so sabrosa :) - Kiwi-Girl, Aug 13, 2010

Answer 3

One of the things we really enjoyed when we lived in Australia was how much you could enjoy the outdoors.

Most beaches and parks had areas with tables (often covered by a pagoda) and with free gas barbeques. They were great, we would often pick the kids up from school grab some sausages, a bottle of sauce and some bread and spend the afternoon at the beach swimming or surfing - cooking up a quick sanga when we were hungry

that sounds perfect for after school, id like to learn to surf :) - jaffa_cake_14, Aug 14, 2010

Answer 4

Also we lived in Perth which is also a beautiful city but it's a bit isolated and more expensive to travel to and from. We preferred the Sunshine Coast.

También vivímos en Perth que también es una ciudad hermosa, pero es un poco aislada y más caro para viajar desde y hacia. Preferimos la Sunshine Coast.

PERTH
