Hard to emigrate from the US: My dad is a Ivy League educated doctor and during/after the Cuban Missile Crisis, he wanted to move us down there. No dice.

Come over for a holiday and you may find a way of staying.

My wife did.

The largest number of illegal immigrants in Australia are English people - who overstay there working holiday visa's. The numbers coming on leakey/sinking boats are a small minority despite the press

Personally my view for addressing the aging population here is

When every backpacker arrives for their working holiday we take away their pasport and sign them up to a dating agency that matches them only to Australians......and only give back their passports under extreme political pressure. If they are tradies we just don't give them thier passports back
 
Edgyone, nice pics. Gotta love the Prom. My dad worked there for twenty odd years and I grew up nearby in Meeniyan. Where are you guys from? I'm in Melbourne...still. Plenty of places I'd rather :)
 
Thanks bigfoot. I've lived in Melbourne and Geelong.

I'll see if I can dig out some Tasmanian photos too!
 
Perksy, must be an old pic, your looking a bit scrawny.
Easy to be cheeky from the other side of the city.
Les Hiddens was a Helo pilot Vietnam era. The legend is he was flying over far Nth Queensland. Wondering how he would go, if forced down with a natural love of outdoors and a lot of traveling done as a kid. He ended traveling around the NTHern part of the country Spending time with the different aboriginal tribes .
It ended up with snack maps.
Toppo Maps with the seasonal bush foods ( mainly plants) and cooking instructions on the back.
