Hello. I am newcomer Azurisy.

How ? shouldn't low population mean low estate prices ?

Yes, this is a very strange fact. I have a theory. It is that, with its relatively low population, Australia is hardly progressive. Consequentially, with its lack of civilizational advances, is its lack of economic development. Its lack of economic development is probably making it too slow to foster the affordability of old, refurbish-able and brand new houses.

However, another theory is that, its lack of civilizational advances makes it too slow to harvest and utilise its natural, renewable and non-renewable resources at the pace of international goods and industrial trade.

I am too eager to hear your American viewpoint on that!

I'm surprised then that Australians have computers then.

I've heard that Sydney has major problems with drop bears as well
