Well, they had a farm and life for farmers is easier and nicer in NZ. Also they say NZ is like England was in the 1960s or something. Sometimes people just want to start a new life.

Anyway, strange things happen in Oz. I know, I've seen Round The Twist!

only fellow brits would get that one TATY. pete and his weird brother, ah the memories. long live high-quality australian tv shows!

Ah, Australia, land of wonders. Very difficult to immigrate really, you must gain 120 marks, you're bloody lucky if you have relatives there because you recieve +15 addit. marks. Ah, and more, if you know Russian language you'll get +5 additional marks as well for knowing the language of one of their big ethnical communities.

I wasnt that young to watch that. But generally I never watch aussie sopies They are terrible, just as they are everywhere else...
The only good one is perhaps The Neighbours and thats primary because most aussie actors/performers started from there ... trying to be patriotic, you see

It used to be much easier. It is all about politics, letting some people in easier while others have to go through lengthy undeserved humiliation, disgrace and then despair. Unfair.

I didn't even say that second part!

Round the Twist was not a soap opera anyway, it was a kids' show. I saw it on TV yesterday though! The memories.
