Good point. Saying Australia is expensive is like saying Europe is expensive. Oz is the larger than Europe & spans multiple climates with bugger all people. Smaller regional centres in each of the states vary wildly in cost. Best to think of each of our states as separate countries! Heres a tip . South Australia is one of the cheapest states!

Darling, I have been to Adelaide for 22 years and I wouldn't replace it with anything in the world. As someone who went through the war in Sarajevo and Bosnia and Herzegovina, I appreciate everything in this country. Learning pattern, my dear. That's all what you need here. My workmates told me once: If you don't like, leave it. If I have to choose between spiders and war, I would rather go for spiders. Come to Adelaide. Houses are cheaper and look very nice. I do have nice trees not far away from my house, and the sound of birds in the morning is priceless. I have a nice view of neighbouring golf course, horse track goes through my street and the smell of beautiful, light breeze from the ocean in evenings. Priceless. Wouldn't trade it for anything. All the best from South Australia!👍 P.S. And, yes, internet is crap, I agree with that. Hope it will be better for the Champions League final. Go, The Reds!

Former PM John Howard gave 14.000 dollars grant for the first home buyers who decided to build a house, and 7.000 dollars for those who wanted to buy an established house. As soon as I was made permanent, my late mother and I went for a casual drive around and ended up at a local builder's office. After a few days, we bit the bullet and decided to have our house built. I feel sorry for the younger people today who find it very difficult to get into home market. It's not fair. I live in a southern suburb of Adelaide and everything is so close. Adelaide is one big building site with roadworks connecting various parts of the city, overpasses, underpasses and so on. It's already looking much better, and, yes, the houses here are cheaper and better looking then more expensive ones in Sydney or Melbourne. You can get a nice 3 bedroom house for around 350.000 dollars easy or maybe a little bit more. Where I live, there are many people from UK. In my street, there is a young man who supports Liverpool, another older guy supports ManU and I fancy Liverpool, so it's aesy for me to have a nice chat about football or as they called it here soccer. Local AFL is very popular, I watch it but not as pationatelly as I watch " soccer". Optus is my saviour, otherwise I would go crazy watching local footy everyday. I wish you and all young people all the best in finding affordable homes. Hope these guys in Canberra will do something about it instead of fighting each other. Cheers!👍

I'm in Australia and when I went over I found UK chocolate too sweet. I think aus chocolate has less sugar in it. You're pronouncing every place name perfectly. You're Amazing It's so true what you say about the houses in Australia, most people buy the worst house on the best street and then if you have money renovate.

The symptoms were definately heat stroke (mild). Give it 1 year and you'll acclimatise. Look around for British grocery stores and you will find all the treats you like. And probably go to the most livable cities in Australia rather than the most expensive. Travel. See what you like. Hobart is similar weather too England. Cairns is pleasant all year round (once you get used to the humidity). And everyone likes their own City. If pick Brisbane, Gold Coast, or Melbourne but I haven't spent enough time in the other oners to really know them.

Great video, I really enjoyed it. Your honesty and down to earth facts is what I found really refreshing. I grew up in the shire (38 Years) and lived in Cronulla for 8 years just around the corner from Northies (the old Northies with the veranda, where I spent many a Sunday afternoon). I now live in the UK and have been for 18 years. I can relate to what you are saying and both countries have their positives and negatives. Like always try and enjoy the moment and see the positive things. All the best to you and your partner.

This video really helped me I've always wanted to move to Australia, so i started looking frew YT stuff about Australia im only 13 years old but when i turn 18 im for sure moving to australia and finishing my studies there😊

I was born in Perth I never realized how expensive things were, because I always relied on my parents.. and always thought Perth was so boring. It wasn’t till I moved to Canada in last year, made me realize how much I miss Perth. My friends, school, transportation, beaches and baldivis 😂 if ya know aha.

Perth was ridiculously over priced during the mining boom, rent and buying wise but that ended 5 years ago and since then , prices have come down by twenty percent. You can get a nice 2 or 3 bedroom villa, house or duplex etc in the south east suburbs for around $230 a week, you just have to pick and choose where as there are some scungy bits like anywhere else. Perth is a very pretty city, climate is bearable and cost of living same as elsewhere.

For a safe city, it seemed a bit strange that dudes were decked out so heavily, even in the middle of suburbia.

Yes , because England is so small,..everything is nearby and close..this means you can walk to places without a car..Many shops to look at ,so lots of choices. I understand about being homesick.

It's good you are in Cronulla as you'll get an idea of life in the 'burbs which is how a lot of Aussies live. Yes, things are expensive but wages can be higher too. Yes it rains...some Sydney suburbs get DOUBLE the annual precipitation of London. Yes, it is not 30 celsius all year long. Suburbs away from the coast go down to 0 - 5 c on July nights and the upper Blue Mountains can be negative territory. Chocolate is rubbish to preserve it from the heat. There are some shops that do hand made though...look for those. The fruit though is luscious. Eat that! Good review!

The birds in the video with the date palms sounded like lorikeets, not magpies. Where I live, in the hills outside Perth where there is still some natural forest with big trees, the magpies for miles around, all sing on moonlight nights. They sound like hundreds of barbershop quartets. Clear and flute-like up close ranging to soft and muffled in the distance.

If you want a break from the intense heat and flys, get on a plane and come to Hobart. Australia’s secret garden, Tasmania! Absolutely beautiful.

Great video because you're honest.

The price of fresh produce like bananas fluctuates depending on whether they're in season and how good the growing conditions are. A few years ago when a cyclone wiped out much of the banana crops in QLD the price went up to about $15 per kg. You'll find our supermarkets do their best to sell Aussie produce to support our farmers and try not to import where possible, and if it's not in season it's going to cost more. Sydney is so expensive in general.. 10/10 recommend moving elsewhere in Aus lol :)

Melbourne/Hobart are temperate, Perth/Adelaide are Mediterranean, Sydney/Brisbane are subtropical, Darwin is tropical. Note: western sydney is much drier and hotter during summer, and cooler during winter.

Chocolate is a different recipe here because the melting point of UK chocolate is too low. Uk bars here would need refrigerating from factory to store and would even melt getting it to your car, so when you opened it it would be melting onto the wrapper. Sorry but they have had to change it so it no longer tastes as rich and creamy (that chocolate liqueur percentage is reduced).

Just by the noise, I think the noisy birds you saw are Rainbow Lorikeets (bestbirdphotos.com.au/bird-photos/rainbow-lorikeet/), sometimes called Rosellas. They are affectionately called clown birds by some because of their antics when feeding in the trees, they climb tree branches with their bodies at odd looking angles, hang upside down and move along branches that way as well. I try to photograph them when ever I see them feeding. When they are not making that loud squawking noise, they can sing sweetly as well.

Its good that the title includes "Sydney". Your observations (prices, weather, public transport...) are only relevant for that time and place. Even though Australia does not have many people there is huge diversity/difference between price, weather, food, language, .... Having lived in a few countries i only compare specific things now. When people ask for general comparisons i ask them what they actually want know.

Fruit prices, you have to find a fruit shop that sells “rejected” fruit. The fruit that does not meet the exact size or shape that is required by big chain supermarkets. At my local I can buy large melons for 99c each. Bananas for $1.99 a kg. Huge cauliflowers etc. These shops are gems, and are often called fruit markets. They are so cheap you will never buy fruit in Coles or Woolies again. And the quality is great, just very large or small, curled or with a tiny mark on the skin etc. I buy a fully trolly load of fruit and veggies for $30.

Also when you said about veg being expensive, how about frozen veg? Whats that like out there? And how much is meat?

blaneysiktube thanks for the advice, I definitely don’t think I have enough sugar!! We tend to eat peppers and courgettes a lot so cant really buy them frozen but I’m sure normal frozen veg is just as good. Meat seems to be a teeny bit more expensive but very good quality, it just seems to fresh fruit and veg that is expensive when we brought out of season, we’re learning slowly! 😁

I cannot agree more

The caveat is that public transport is not good in the major cities. If you want to travel between cities, especially in regional areas, you have to be able to drive or fly. And in some large towns, the public transport is dreadful - I’m from Ballarat which had a bus system that nobody really used because it was so inefficient so we all just drive everywhere. I moved from Victoria to the UK and honestly the heat here in Birmingham is awful compared to home - 28-30 degrees in the UK feels like 35 back home. I think Aussie summers are usually quite a dry but intense heat, which is hot but bearable. Whereas a heatwave in the UK is sooo humid and airless and sticky and I sweat way more here than I ever did in Australia. I also get sunburnt here really fast so in that sense it’s not that different between the two countries. Sydney is crazy expensive. Melbourne isn’t much cheaper. Basically once you get out of the inner cities the cost of living goes down. We have Freddo Frogs in Oz. Lots of them in different flavours. We have amazing chips, especially Red Rock Deli chips. I miss them a lot. Australian biscuits are amazing, I miss them too! I honestly find UK chocolate a bit too sweet compared to Aussie chocolate but England does have amazing food too. options.

Internet: It depends on the service you subscribe to like everywhere else. The top speed at the moment is delivered by the National Broadband Network (NBN) at 100Mbs. Most Australians are moving to the NBN from cable (30Mbs) and ADSL2+ (20Mbs) with either the 100Mbs or 50Mbs plans. 100Mbs costs about $85 per month, and the 50Mbs around $65 for unlimited downloads. Most services in the UK are slower. You must have lucked out with the place you were staying at. Weather: Sun is vicious. Sunscreen and wear a hat. Housing: Most houses are air conditioned and have heating. Can't talk for rental properties. Transport: As good as the UK in most places. Australia is big so very small towns in the outback may not have any public transport. Perhaps the odd bus. Sydney and Melbourne with populations of 5 and 4 million have well developed infrastructure. Busses, trains, ferries, taxis etc. Flies: Learn to talk with your mouth closed. Work: 4 weeks leave and lots of public holidays. Long service leave of 3 months after 10 years.Good work life balance. Work from home options. Helps to have a degree and be well qualified in your chosen profession. Greeting. "G'day. howyegoin" Answer: "Good thanks". Very standard Australian intro.

Freddo frog was an Australian chocolate imported to the Uk

Chocolate - try some Haigh's chocolate. Snakes and spiders - please still be careful. Even in the city you can get some dangerous critters. Red-back spiders, for example, are common in urban Sydney. Don't leave your shoes outside overnight.

wishing I could move to Australia soon but in Adelaide..

A lot of things have changed in Australia, we use to call it the lucky country and in some ways it is however prices on most items have gone sky high and our vegetables are a total rip off, 10 or so years ago food was all cheap then something went wrong. Another problem is we have a Government Department ACCC Australian Competition and Consumer Commission who are basically a group of toothless tigers, food is of less quality and gets smaller almost yearly. PS Cronulla is not a cheap place as far as Sydney goes.

You only see places if you travel. Take the road coaches. Hire a car. Drive to Perth. It would only take you 6 or 7 days. On the speed limit. Traveling in daylight. You could do It in 3. If you travel at night as well, just sleep a few hours, and speed.

Why are so many Australians posting that she's whinging when she clearly isn't. It's because she's British. I'm pretty sure if the same video was made by a Swede, or a French person the aussies wouldn't even mention the word 'whinge'.

The reason the chocolate tastes 'odd' to you is a couple of reasons. British chocolate has a higher coco content than Australia, but more importantly we dont churn the chocolate as long as you do in Europe because of the small market in Australia.
