I found it interesting to read your views Glenda. I'm still not sure whether NZ or Auz would be better as a place to live. If you were young without any responsibilities which country would you go for out of the two? Tottefan.

Difficult question to answer. I love NZ. Because of the years I spent here growing up, it is as much home as the UK.
However, I did not imagine Australia to be as stunning as we found it a couple of years ago, nor somewhere we knew we could comfortably settle. Before our visit, I had the somewhat prejudiced idea that Australia was just a place of dusty roads, surfers, kangaroos and dangerous wildlife. The country is enormous - nearly as big as Europe and there is a lot to see and do.
They say Australia is a premier destination for immigrants. New Zealand is beautiful and a great place to live, but I'll understand if one or two of my kids move across 'the ditch' in their early twenties for a more exciting life. (Better that than back to the UK ... or even Dubai!)
