Hey Manly
I lived in Oz for 3 years but I chose to make Fernie my home, and I’ve been here a lot longer now than I was there. As you’ve obviously never been here in the summer, don’t bag something you know nothing about. The summers here are awesome, and as hot as any day in Sydney. We got lakes and rivers for swimming and tubing, and mountains for hiking and biking. This area has one of the world’s only growing grizzly populations, so I think we are doing just fine there.
When I was in Oz I took several trips down to the snow and I seem to remember seeing a ton of Roos, wallabies and other wildlife either shot (from what I remember it’s kind of a sport down there to drive down the highway in your ute shooting at the wildlife) or blasted all to hell off the front of someone’s bull bars.
And for the record, I’ve been to Manly, it’s a crappy little seaside joint (with plenty of fast food joints!) and I never once saw a sea-eagle. And there’s a ton more aussies here in Fernie and all across the rest of Canada, than there ever was Canadians in Oz, so I’d stop suggesting that we all want to live there, coz if it was true then we would have gone by now!
Ya don’t like it here, bugger off home!
