My mum emigrated here in 1969 as a £10 POM and had me here, so I'm technically first generation Aussie. When she passed away in July this year I was asked whether I'd move back to England and my immediate was response was no way. I'm true blue Aussie and I don't think I would like the weather in the UK.

[@ThatJohnstonLife]

Sorry about you mum Em

[@ruthvanmackelenberg9034]

Try Adelaide! We have heat but generally little to no humidity. Also wine! Come in March and check out the Adelaide Fringe. You will be blown away!

[@ThatJohnstonLife]

Great tips, thanks Ruth

Glad you enjoyed it

[@ParryBrothers]

Awesome! 👏🏻

Thanks bud!

[@tomwareham7944]

Great interview Ross! Hannah and her partner sound like they will fit in just fine , she didn't complain about anything so she's way ahead of some of us Aussies who have been known to whine about something every now and then . My excuse is I'm a grumpy old bugger so it's my job , so it's nice to see a happy POM taking advantage of what we have to offer and we take for granted .

[@ThatJohnstonLife]

Thanks Tom. Really appreciate it

[@grahamejohn6847]

I really enjoyed that, Ross. I'm realising nowadays that I'm a voyeur lol. Maybe it's just that my life is so boring, sigh. Bloody rain I'm not a pom but I do like a whinge about the weather.

[@ThatJohnstonLife]

Voyeur lol. Cheers Grahame

[@MrA21586]

I moved to Adelaide last year from Surrey and stayed in Howard Springs too. Your videos really helped me make the move especially as Australia had closed borders

[@ThatJohnstonLife]

Thanks bud, glad to help

[@debkendall]

Tourist season for the NT is April to October - too hot otherwise

[@ThatJohnstonLife]

Will take that into consideration

[@Gordon_L]

20:57 Ross , Lady Elliot Island *IS* just the other side of Brisbane once you start thinking about distance in Australian terms instead of British 😀. For young people who think they might like Australia and who qualify for a temporary work visa , just do it , I have met many over the years and even employed some in years gone by , they all loved it . Covid caused a worker shortage on the agriculture sector because of the reliance on backpacker labour , it should be very easy now for those who qualify to gain entry and earn money while seeing some of the country . Australia is built on and by immigrants from all over the world , I was an immigrant from the UK and have now lived here for 62 of my 67 years , have met people from many countries who made this place home .

[@ThatJohnstonLife]

Well said Gordon

[@mickholden8615]

Townsville at Christmas that is way to hot

[@frankiesullivan6015]

We have air con in Townsville lol

Pool life it is

One of the interesting problematics about emigrating from UK is $AUD/GBP exchange rates. I am a dual citizen and lived and worked in both countries on and off for 35 years. Over that period the GBP has been worth anything from $1.70 to $2.10. You might think now is the worst time given the UK's current financial difficulties. But just over a decade ago the Australian Resources Boom meant the Aussie dollar was above parity with the US $ (now less than 2/3 rds) - so the GBP exchange rates were even worse than now. Big impact if you are bringing house sale proceeds over to buy a house in Australia or you have a UK Government pension that you cannot transfer as a lump sum and it has to be paid in pounds. Wonder how big an issue this is for anyone thinking about migrating now? or do they think as Australian wages tend to be higher we will make it up?

[@ThatJohnstonLife]

Always watching the exchange rates Robin

[@RJS4287]

@@ThatJohnstonLife Been told Aussie$ is one of the heaviest traded currencies in the world because it is resource based. If we have a resources boom again like in the 2010s don't give the GBP much hope of maintaining its current value - but a world wide recession would lessen a resources boom likelihood. But I am just an amateur watcher so could be totally wrong. At least our fundamentals are ok - massive trade surplus because of primary exports and we import only a small proportion of our food - unlike UK/Europe. Though our pollies bang on about it - public debt comparatively smaller as well.

There is no winter in Darwin , it`s either wet season or dry season

[@kips0514]

True blue aren’t as helpful as I had hoped, if you don’t fit into an easy category then I’d suggest seeking information and knowledge elsewhere - if you are looking for specific advise.

[@ThatJohnstonLife]

Sorry they couldn't help you Kips05. Thanks for the feedback. I wish you all the best in getting over here!

[@brendagiles8328]

Yes I do know where Tadley is as my Grandfather was born there in the late 1800's. My family emigrated to Australia in 1967 and after all this time England is a foreign country and Australia is home.

[@ThatJohnstonLife]

Home of the treacle festival apparently

[@matthewcollas1404]

Just in qld itself it would take years to soo all the good spots. From charleville the Atherton to Bowen to port Douglas to the glass house mountains ect...

[@ThatJohnstonLife]

Not a bad way to spend you time

[@leafyful]

Oh my god you lived in Tadley?! I live in Tadley and currently trying to convince my husband that moving to Australia is the best idea! You’ll be pleased to know we now have a Lidl here 😂 not just sainsburys.

[@ThatJohnstonLife]

Ha ha. They finally built the lidl!! If your husband needs convincing, then just tell him to go the Wigmore Heath play area and count all the dog shit. If that doesn't depress him to move I don't know what will

[@georgecurrenti3602]

You’re a good interviewer Ross, and kept the discussion interesting… you may be able to get a job with 60 minutes 😄

[@ThatJohnstonLife]

Thanks George, do you have any contacts?

[@georgecurrenti3602]

@@ThatJohnstonLife Nah… sorry. Keep doing what you do, add more interview content.

I did my Padi course to scuba dive in Melbourne when I was 12. Here's a tip when you dive and want to attract fish around you bring down bread crumbs and twisties 😜 If you get ungry down there you could also munch on a salty twistie your self 😂

[@ThatJohnstonLife]

Lol. Mid sea munch

[@brilliantbutblue]

Thankyou so much Ross and Hannah for sharing your experiences, enjoyed this one so much. Hannah's Boyfriend will definitely be in high demand at the moment...... nope l never mentioned Medibank Private or AHM, please excuse me whilst l head off to change my identity 😉

[@ThatJohnstonLife]

Our pleasure!

[@davidsage124]

GO HANNA

[@ThatJohnstonLife]

Thanks 👍

[@krystleklearcentral]

I thought that was Sandra Bullock for a few seconds.... I was like how the f* did he get Sandra Bullock on his channel? and when did Sandy move here? I missed that!

[@ThatJohnstonLife]

I've booked Sandra for the next one

[@markwaters3050]

An aside here Ross, and nothing to do with this delivery... but mate, you are looking bloody healthy!

[@ThatJohnstonLife]

Cheers Mark

[@matthewcollas1404]

Lady Elliot island is ok. Lady Musgrave is better. And she will be leaving from bundaberg or 1770

[@Heytno]

Nice one. Thanks you both for sharing your personal experiences and insights. To the lady: please don’t lose your English accent, the Aussie nasal twang is slowing rubbing off on you and an English accent is so much nicer to listen to, there you go I’ve said it. Aussies don’t come for me 😢😂
