Tom Blackett, spokesperson for the Australian Visa Bureau, said Brits might like to consider the many advantages of the Australian way of life if they are looking to get away from the UK, with the country teeming with social, lifestyle and economic opportunities.
He commented: "Imagine living in a country that speaks English, enjoys wit and sarcasm and has a love of pub culture and cricket - but without the bad weather."
Meanwhile, Brooke Schoenman, travel writer for WhyGo Australia, recently argued that Australia is a family-friendly destination that offers something for everyone.
She claimed the Great Barrier Reef is an awe-inspiring destination that can have people of all ages dumbstruck by its beauty and grandeur, while Canberra is another great family destination, with its many museums and even an interactive science and technology centre.
