4 of the Best Things About Living in Australia

With the economic strife happening in several Western countries, political unrest, and low standards of living in others, a lot of citizens from different nations are considering the idea of moving to Australia. Since 1945, Australia has welcomed millions of immigrants to its shores, making the country a hub for many cultures and nationalities. Its vast land of over 7 million square kilometers makes it the 6th largest country in the world, yet having the lowest population density, with plenty of room for migrants who want to reside in this country of beautiful natural wonders and people and culture that are as equally beautiful.

If you’re planning on moving to the Land Down Under, here is a brief list of things that you will enjoy when living in Australia:

Nature

The Great Barrier Reef, the Australian Outback, dazzling coastlines, picturesque rock formations, and flora and fauna that can’t be found anywhere else are just one of the reasons why Australia is such a magnificent place to live in. Unspoilt and authentic natural wonders waiting to be explored. When you work week is done, arrange for a hike in the great outdoors, or surf the waves in Australia’s beaches. Though the country also has a few of the most dangerous animals in the world, these are rarely seen while the kangaroo, the koala, and the marsupials are national icons of the country, where sightings can easily be seen in Australia’s backyard.

Multicultural Society

Because of the millions of migrants in the country, people from all walks of life, from different nationalities and religions, are openly accepted and welcome. The country’s primary language is English, but it won’t be difficult from other nationalities to live in its cities since among the top foreign languages spoken are Italian, Cantonese, Mandarin, Vietnamese, Arabic, and Greek. Because of communities being able to speak a number of different languages, it will make it easier for tourists and migrants in their transition to adapt to the country.

The City of Melbourne

Dubbed as 2013’s Most Liveable City in the world by the Economist Intelligence Unit, Melbourne scored perfect marks in the fields of education, infrastructure, and healthcare, with only small deductions in safety and culture. For the 3rd consecutive year, Melbourne beat out hundreds of cities from 140 different countries. This capital of Victoria State is said to provide the best living conditions among all cities in the world. If this fact alone doesn’t convince you, then take a trip to Melbourne and immerse in its music, culture, its gorgeous Gothic laneways, and the popular and pristine Yarra River that provides picturesque scenes of the city to change your mind.

Happiest Industrialized Nation

Whenever you think about metropolitan cities and major industrialized nations, you’d automatically think about its overstressed residents who work all day and have ill-health and low satisfaction in life. In a survey made by the Organization of Economic Cooperation and Development, Australians are the happiest people in the world, based on the Better Life Index, which rates a list of factors such as life satisfaction, income, education, health, safety, community, among others. Australians have perfected the right mix of work and fun, making the Australian lifestyle the ultimate balanced life.
