I'm sure I would... we aren't THAT different.... I just get pissed when people in the US think we are.You'd fit right in....

I could move out to a large property if I wanted. There is more to maintain as you get older though. I may or may not in the future. I haven't decided.Small house+big acreage>big house+small lot
Can't have bonfires or do donuts on your dirtbike or shoot guns or crank my twin in town all night either. City living sucks for the most part. So does the cost. The more I can live off stuff that exists outside my back door, the happier I am. I just need a nice creek or good spring.
We share a lot but there are still vast differences.I'm sure I would... we aren't THAT different.... I just get pissed when people in the US think we are.
The biggest difference is you've been brainwashed into thinking the US Constitution is some sort of holy book. I don't agree with all of it or think it has created a better country. The US is more stratified than here. Not sure that is good. Creates unrest. Governments are meant to fund things that free enterprise would find hard to handle. We do a better job of that and still have a market economy without being highly socialist.We share a lot but there are still vast differences.
Yet their leader ignores the Constitution...The biggest difference is you've been brainwashed into thinking the US Constitution is some sort of holy book.

When you guys become part of the US I plan to spend US winters down there on the back side of the pancake in walkabout creek. We can find adjoining acreage, I'll help you maintain your place and we can argue about whether American Americans or Australian-Americans are better and smoke Kangaroos and stuff while we're working.I could move out to a large property if I wanted.

The east coast here isn't much different to America... It's nothing llke "walkabout creek" I can assure you. It's green. It's more like California. With some places more like Northern California. There are other places here that are tropical and still other places that are like England.When you guys become part of the US I plan to spend US winters down there on the back side of the pancake in walkabout creek.

IF we decide not to annex you, will you take California off our hands ?The east coast here isn't much different to America... It's nothing llke "walkabout creek" I can assure you. It's green. It's more like California
I gather you don't agree... You are too heavily invested in your guns but I don't begrudge you them mate.
I don't like the politics of California either or the demographics in the cities.IF we decide not to annex you, will you take California off our hands ?
You already know I don't agree. You also already know that I think you are at the mercy of your leaders and I am not. I told you that last night.I gather you don't agree... You are too heavily invested in your guns but I don't begrudge you them mate.
Well that's the deal. You take California or we are annexing you. Take it or leave it.I don't like the politics of California either or the demographics in the cities.
I enjoy wilderness areas and back country living so I'm only interested in walkabout creek and similar locations. Some of those outback spots look like TX.The east coast here isn't much different to America... It's nothing llke "walkabout creek" I can assure you. It's green. It's more like California.

Generally day to day they don't impact me except for their stupid heavy handed road rules.you are at the mercy of your leaders
In America you can get to those places and still be within throwing distance of some city. Here, you could be day(s) of travel from a city. All our major cities are on the coast. You can hate cities but if you want some things/items/services sometimes you have to visit them.I enjoy wilderness areas and back country living so I'm only interested in walkabout creek and similar locations.

All good and fine for now. Komrade.Generally day to day they don't impact me except for their stupid heavy handed road rules.
There are far more socialist/commy places than here.All good and fine for now. Komrade.

So you're saying I can't find acreage 45 minutes out of Perth or someplace like that? I would imagine Sydney is surrounded by suburbs but you can't drive say an hour and 15 minutes and be in farm country or at least semi-rural? I'm about 40 minutes of light traffic driving from Austin and there are some working ranches just on the outskirts of the 70k population town I live outside of.In America you can get to those places and still be with throwing distance of some city.
