Hey everybody, i'm thinking of moving to Australia since our country is being flown into the ground and also I can have access to better vehicles (you know where i'm getting at). I know a little about the place but that is because my secretary is from Port Lincoln near Adelaide and she told me a little about it. She is moving back with her husband in 2 years so I might go also. I know a little about the cost of living and it isn't much different from Charlotte after the conversions are done. If I go i'll move to Port Lincoln until I get going then i'll probably go to Melbourne. America is alright but as far as the car scene goes it is at the point that car hoods will be welded shut from the factory. I understand that emissions produce pollution but what about factories and stuff like that. Our Government likes to point fingers at the little guy a bit to much for my taste and i'm about ready to get out. Anyway I could use some advice from anyone there on how life is and what to expect.

Yeah my secretary was telling me that things are different in the North and West. If I make it there I will get a GT-Four instead of importing mine, 96 GT. I was considering Japan at first, but Australia has a much easier learning curve. The cost of living in Charlotte is about $35,000 a year per capita, and the avg. income is $23,000. The income is from the Charlotte Chamber of Commerce so it's set higher to entice people to move here, income is probably closer to $19,000, I made $11,000 my first year as a Marine (if it was a thousand less I could have filed for unemployment). So moving to Australia can only be better since this place won't be picking up for at least the next 4 years.
