The Joy of Emigration. The trials and tribulations of moving with my family to Australia. Wednesday, 26 September 2012. Fact #4 - Medicare and NHS are not equal. The cost of being unwell in Australia can be quite a shock. Unless you are lucky enough to find a Doctor who bulk-bills a visit to the Quack will cost you money. Typically $30 and up will need to come from your pocket to top-up the payment towards your consultation that Medicare will make to the Doctor. Links to this post. Links to this post.

The Joy of Emigration. The trials and tribulations of moving with my family to Australia. Thursday, 29 December 2011. Found this handsome looking devil hanging out on the back wall of the house.

So, rather than close the blog I'm going to try adding a series of short updates around Facts, Myths and Maybe's about Australia. Starting with:. So now you know.

The Joy of Emigration. The trials and tribulations of moving with my family to Australia. Thursday, 13 January 2011. Another Useful Email from Australia House.

The Joy of Emigration: Fact #5 - State run utilities are just as expensive

The Joy of Emigration. The trials and tribulations of moving with my family to Australia. Wednesday, 17 October 2012. Fact #5 - State run utilities are just as expensive. In the UK there is a lot of grumbling around whether or not the formally state owned utilities should have ever been privatised. "Run for people, not profits" is the familiar battle cry.
