The Aussie Thread

Here's a nice swimming river 3 hours away from me by 4x4:

And this was tea on the beach just on the edge of town tonight:

Can't complain!

I'm Aussie (mainly from Melbourne, but lived in Melbourne, Kalgoorlie and Sydney), but I live in the UK now.  We made the mistake of "coming home" for a period.  We hated it so much, we got our visa sorted out, and headed back to the UK within 12 months.  Pretty much for the reasons as @Cake99 mentioned, The internet is terrible (and crazy expensive, I am paying equivalent of about $80 per month for unlimited 70mb and basic cable tv, oh and a phone I never use), it's far too hot, and to be honest Melbourne felt like a small country town after living and working in London.

I can get Amazon for *everything*, or pretty much every single store has an online shop, with either click and collect at my local shop, or home delivery.  Last time I went on an australian retailers website it was an absolute joke (I think it was Target), JB HiFi get it though, but they aren't as cheap as the "good old days" when they only had 2 or 3 stores.
