So getting back to the original question....
These are the top three reasons I've heard stop people from overseas from coming downunder: 1 - Price of airfare 2 - Length of flight We can't do much about #2, but what price would the airfares have to be to get you guys to come visit us if FISM was ever held here?

1 - Have you ever wanted to come and visit Australia? 1. Oh yes. I have actually been there a couple of times. Skiing actually. 2. Appealing: Ladies that can carry 14 really big beers at the same time, the funny guys in lederhosen, the hornblowers, the cosy cottages. I was never in Melbourne, but I liked Salzburg very much. I had a hard time with the language though, it wasn't quite like the german I learned in school. You are very good at english, though Tim! That wasn't my experience with the locals but then again I was mostly on the country side. |

I don't know why but every week someone I know is either
a) visiting family b) working c) on holiday in Australia. I'm serious,, at the moment I have 6 relatives, 4 friends and 2 neighbours that are there. Must be something to do with all the Irish that have moved there over the years. I'm dying to go myself. Airfare doesn't bother me and neither does flight time. In fact I'm tryin to get a free trip through work. We have a lab in Sydney that do the same job as we do. It might be possible to do a swap for a few months with one of the Sydney engineers. But then again, who in their right mind would give up the warm, sunny weather of Australia for the cold, wet weather of Ireland!

Ok Sue-Anne, how about you come here, I'll go there. You can be an engineer for a week, and I can do a few magic shows? You can film it all for the next DVD. Call it "No Experience Required".

Hey, as long as she gets to live in a castle she'll be there!
A few years ago we visited the Emerald Isle and stayed overnight in Kilbrittain Castle, she was in HEAVEN!

My wife and I have been talking about moving to Australia. We've about had it with the political scene here in the States. We've been watching the action "down under" and from this distance, pretty pleased with what we have seen. If we do move, it'll be after our parents go on to greater things, but I've decided Melbourne would be the place.. Forumula 1 will be there in a couple of weeks.
Now, if I'd only made that decision a year ago...

You MAY be disappointed with the political scene here, too...
But, Chuck Fayne moved to Melbourne and loves it. He moved for other reasons (safety for his children). Our biggest migrants were from England a few years ago... now it's from China. We need migrants because Australia is just not populating itself. We have too much fun to worry about things like that |

One thing you'll have to have when you come down here is a sense of humor, since the british banned the word "Bloody" in our overseas Adverts I think that it is a requirment. I still can't believe they done that.
So make sure you bring your budgie Smugglers and try our nice long beachs and ask for a pair of cougers at the local bar. Magically Aus |
