Anyone ever move to Australia?

[XemaSab]

I am bored with the avifauna of North America.

I am a soil scientist, watershed ecologist, and biologist.

Where do I sign up? :D

1. A whole bunch of British convicts did once

Maybe if you commit a burglary or something.... :think:

the old joke goes "Britain sent Australia her thieves, deadbeats and whores, while she sent North America her religious extremists...Clearly Australia got to have first choice."

3. I spent three years in New Zealand.

West coast of the South Island will have someone with your interests in absolute heaven.

4. Let me know if you go so I can stowaway in your luggage

I'm a biologist too and I studied some of the avian life in college (bower birds) and AM just dying for a chance to go down there and see them in their natural ecology (well that and dive the Great Barrier Reef- a lifelong ambition):thumbsup:

5. I plan on taking the family in about three years.

I figure the Great Barrier will be completely dead if I wait much longer. *sigh*

6. can you do molecular biology?

i know a guy who got hired there for a few years as a molecular biologist and it looks like checking the list of needed skills that this particular skill is still needed in australia, a google for australia, immigration, biologist popped right up with molecular biologist links including immigration links

don't want to take someone else's name in vain but admittedly this guy is well-known (well, today he is well known anywy, not sure how well known he was when he worked in australia) so i don't know what part his reputation had in getting him the job

8. hmmm I do immunological work for a biotech..

so thats VERRRRY interesting to know....

[XemaSab]

10. No molecular

but I looked at the list of skills they need and being basically any scientist gets you 50 points. :woohoo:

It sounds like a great place from the ABC.au podcast fare.

11. Have to find me an Aussie girl

I heard that you were pretty much a citizen when you married an Aussie.

[XemaSab]

12. There's some hot Ozzies out there

13. I should've done that.

But I wised away from a few offers. Maybe it wasn't so wise.
