There is a big emphasis on leisure and leisure time in Australia, which is helped by the fantastic weather. In the spring and summer it is warm to hot everywhere, but particularly tropical in the north. In autumn and winter northern and central Australia have clear warm days and cool nights, whereas the south has cool days with occasional rain but still plenty of sun. Many homes enjoy pools, tennis courts and entertaining space in order to make the most of the good weather.
Property in Australia is very much cheaper than in the UK and most Australians will own their own home which will be relatively large by European standards. Very few people live in flats. People who have made the move to Australia comment on the low cost of living compared with that in the UK. Fruit and vegetables grow in abundance and are usually locally grown, so you’ll find they are not only cheaper but much fresher than here in the UK. The meat is also inexpensive and of an excellent quality.
