Yes. They have very, very friendly arachnids and reptiles there. You should get some for pets when you move there.
I suppose it really depends on where you compare Australia to as there are many countries which are good to live in.

From my own perspective I have lived in a number of english speaking countries and without doubt I consider Australia to be by far the best of them.

Australia has a wonderful range of climates, ranging from tropical wet to temperate, which people can choose to live in. There are no restrictions whatsoever as to where you can live, it is simply up to you.

The states and cities of Australia are significanly different from each other as to have there own unique feel so that you just know where you are without the need to ask.

Coming from a european background I consider Australia to safer than any previous country I have lived in, but like most other western countries there are safety concerns, but in general I consider Austrlia to be as safe as anywhere else. For a visitor it really only requires a little forward planning to be safe.

Concern about the danger of Australian wildlife are overblown as people are rarely affected by it. Usually those who are injured are those who a a little foolish in how the deal with safety precautions.

Salary rates have to be considered in terms of the cost base of the country that it is paid in and in this respect Australians are paid as well as other countries. Australia, excluding housing costs in specifis areas, is a cheap country to live in. Cetainitly it is a lot cheaper than europe.The current Australian exchange rates are very generous.

Australia offers a great lifestyle with its beatiful climate. Many people swim all year round and it is not unusual, even in the middle of winter to see people swimming at the beaches.

Australian's spend a great deal of there time on outside activities i.e barbecues, walks, football, cricket etc.
I have been in Australia for about 6 months now, I expected it to be really great, high class living and all the rest of it. When I got here, it wasn't as great as they had made it out to be on TV. The people I ran into were just arrogant and ignorant, The food was horrible and still is, now that I've settled in I have found good australia friends and have slowly gotten used to the aussie fan dangle accent, and their freakin food.
considering i was born here i may be very partcial, but i love this place it is wonderful, i love how laid back australia can be! although our dollar is crap in every other major country, i feel safe in this country !!!!!!!!!
