say about other states) are idiots and drive llike lunatics 4) IT especially internet is crap in some places due to lack of competition and in other places it is just crap even if it is ASDL2+ (i lived in 4 different locations around Sydney) 5) I am currently in a management job and find I am surrounded by incompetent staff and management who are also resistant to changes but wnat to expand??? And it is a private compnay. 6) Too far to travel and meet my family and friens in UK. 7) A bit like in India if you are not carefyl you will be cheated in all aspects. There are more reasons, above are only some I have mentioned. I accept that my decision is based purely on my stay in Sydney but I have also spent some time (relatively less) in Melbourne and Brisbane both on work and pleasure. I don't think that made any differences on my decision to either stay ot leave Australia. I know it isclaimed in some surveys that Australia is a good place for good quality of life and bringing up children and to some extent I agree. Personally I am bored in Australia although I get lots of time to go for walk, gym, restaurant etc maybe because I am used to living on the go in UK. Generally the weather is good in Sydney but I did not migrate for the weather so this does not reall apply to me
