High Quality

Australia has just been ranked with the second highest quality of life in the world, only behind France (suburbs of Paris excluded). It has also been granted the best place in the world to be an old person. If the seniors down at the Bronte pool can attest, free sunblock and speedos for everyone.

Not surprising, really. The clean environment, low population, healthy economy and well paying jobs would be suitable for anyone. Housing market, that's another story. Prices here in Sydney are in the top 10, right behind all those housing markets that we're looking at dipping into head first within the next few years. A bit of a wash there.

We're two weeks away from putting the sun burnt country behind us, the apartment is looking increasingly bare with each trip to the couple whom is inheriting everything. I'll call them the 'transitionees'. I'm jealous of them, they're just starting on what will be a great adventure.
