Isn't everything in Australia much more expensive than it is here? I remember there was some programme on the TV about some guy who emigrated from the UK to Australia and he was moaning about how ripped off he felt there. Grass is always greener and all that.....

It's definitely not cheap here. And where you got the grass is greener from I don't know. Because ever since the drought all the grass has died. Though ever since the rains have come back all the grass is green again[rofl].

But I was surprised to see that Smokes (cigarettes) and petrol is cheaper here than their[shocked]. Not that I smoke, but now I got a car petrol is a vital thing to me now, and I get so p*ssed of seeing myself back in the old days where I see my dad spending $10 on 30L or more on fuel now I spent about $60 on 40L, it completely sucks.
