 No not at all.
Our Aussie cousins are completely independant (Well apart from having The Queen as their Head of State).
Its quite hard to get into Australia regardless of where you come from.

@hutchy

ah well there goes my masterplan. i was watching a holiday program and a woman didn't seem to need a visa to buy a house and move there with her kids. so i had the thought that because our queen is their queen it was easy to move there

im not sure if you will need a visa for here, never looked into it my self...im sure if you emailed/contacted some australia tourism company or government department or a uk travel agent for that matter they could help you out...
why you want to come here, weather?

It was a little breezy here in Poitiers, France earlier, but all is calm. Overcast and fairly mild atm with a (very) slight wind) |

I know people who have gone there for a holiday and never come back - there are thousands of 'missing brits' out there.
@Jedi-master
I think its hard to emigrate there. You needs thousands of dollars and a Surfboard for a start.
Hot weather all year round, beaches the sea... *sigh!* Loads of Brits in Australia, hardly any Aussies where I am.
South Africa is another place too that I would love to go and see, nice weather etc. *sigh*

@jedi-master
Nice as it sounds - I don't think I would like it to be hot all the year around, its nice to have some change in the weather.
Snow in Winter and Sun in the Summer. Though I'll be surprised if we get some decent snow again in the UK.
I remember when we used to throw snowballs at each other but every now and again hide an egg inside one and then throw it. He he he.

Just as well. We only need a mere sprinkling of snow here and the whole country comes to a standstill.
How do they cope in countries that get real snowfalls like Canada and Russia - where something like 7 feet of snow falls in about 15 minutes and people still manage to get on with their lives.
