Perhaps for us but not our children if the Australian short term profiteers have their way.

What I dont get and never have why do people spend thousands and thousands of dollars going overseas then come home and say jeez this place is nice it's great to be home. ! I've always preferred to travel around this great country and could not even see it all if I travelled full time. Ok so I'll miss a few castles but seriously we live in the best country in the world no matter how much we're badgered how shit our background is. Sheesh seriously this country has been built bloody well imo.

Very true mate, this was a work expo and client customer networking thing.

I would rather pitch a tent at Werribee sewerage farm then visit China for a holiday.

Yeah knew it was business for you mate should have said that's a different reason to visit places where they eat "Little Tigers".

After 18 months since moving in I have finally cleaned out the shed and gotten rid of the rubbish! And to top it off the storm have gotten back in form after a shit season so far!

Because there is also so much to see abroad too..... I was lucky in the fact I was born here, spent half my life in the UK went to various places round Europe and due to my old mans work when I was younger got to see and live in places I probably will never get to see or go to again.

Now that my old man has passed away, me old girl is moving back to the UK, which in turn means opportunities to take the wife and kids for the odd visit..... Which I think is a good thing.
I haven't been back to the UK or anwhere abroad in the 15 years I've been here, love it here but I also think that if the opportunity arises to visit other places and cultures, then you should take it and go

+100000 to this !
People all around me going to Thailand, Bali, etc. I lost count of how many people I know, that went to the "incredible" USA, then returned disappointed & sour. What a waste of $ if you ask me. Each to their own I suppose... People want to see the world, well off you go.

Me, personally. I was born overseas, came here when i was 12. Haven't set foot off Aussie soil since, nor do I ever intend to. I mean that. Heck, my passports been out of date for 30 years. It can stay that way.
There is way too much of Australia to see. Beautiful, amazing in whatever corner you point at. Want beaches? Best beaches in the world right here. Want snow? Off you go to the High country or Blue mountains. Want desert? Well... Bloody hell, go to the magical Simpson. And then there is everything else in between!
People dream of touring the world, living it up in multi-star hotels and resorts. I dream of one day, hooking up a camper-trailer to my Patrol and going around this awesome continent we live on with my family.

As you know, MrsTea & I love travelling around Australia. It was the thought of doing this which brought us here 31 years ago. We want to keep doing it for as long as we can. I recall someone saying to us before we migrated here that Australia was an easier place to be poor in than most countries because you always have the bush to go camping in, & it’s true.

However it’s hard (for me) to understand how anyone can talk of Australia being the best place in the world (which it may well be) when they have never left it. It is impossible to judge anywhere from afar, as it can only be done on a secondhand basis. Everywhere has something to recommend it, often only found when actually there, not really any different to discovering different parts of Australia. How you travel determines what you find. We intend to spend next year exploring the Kimberley, but a friend has just returned from a fly in, 10 day hike, carrying everything on his back in wild kimberley which needed a chopper to get him in & then out again after 10 days. Who sees the most?

Personally I can’t think of anywhere else I would prefer to live but the idea of travelling in other countries & cultures is something I also find very attractive. We’ve never done the hotel/package/cruise type things though. Can’t see the point. If you are going to go to the bother of travelling why try to replicate what you have back home. Do as the locals do & discover so much more. A few years ago I would have happily planned for a ‘as long as it takes’ overland/around the world journey, but MrsTea was less keen. That sort of travel is ‘hard travel’ best undertaken when younger & fitter than we are, & so our compromise was Aussie adventuring, but we might still manage a bit of time exploring more of Asia at some point, just not for years at a time.
