Top 5 things , that's hard ! I hav lived 23 years in Uk born there 37 years in Australa and 10 years in Northern Ontario Canada, .I moved here April 1st 2010 from Oz . Why ?

1 , the countryside
2. The climate seasons are wonderful and not too hot too cold or too long .:)
3. people are friendly and very family oriented .
4. The health system is second to none.
5. Cost of living and houses is so much cheaper than Australia.

Extra
6. With my Uk passport I didn't need a visa to live here
7. There is Reciprical agreement between Australia and Austria re Pensions so I still get my Australian pension but don't hav to return every 6 months to keep it , if I had gone back to the Uk  I would have had to fly back every 6 months to keep it.
8. I get increases in part Uk pension back in Europe.  I wasn't getting in Australa .
9. Get part Canadian Pension with any increases COLA  from Canada

10. It's SAFE the people are so honest  very important to me .

Hope that's enough oh and the music and feasts I am in the Hermagor Choir :-)
