QUOTE(bondiguy @ Mar 19 2006, 09:30 PM) In relation to major cities in the USA crime is low. As in every major city around the world we are no utopia but crime levels will almost certainly be lower than anywhere in America. In the north of the country you may get the occasional hurrciane/cyclone but that is it. In sydney the worst thing you will get from mother nature is sunburn The closer to the CBD you get the higher the prices are. Median prices I believe are approx $450k to A$500k Home loans can be taken over any period you choose to pay it off, usually with a maxiumum over 30 years but its a case by case situation. Isaac yes we only have 5 free to air channels but cable is very common and inexpensive here I think we only have about 5 free local channels as well, Abc, Cbs, Fox, Nbc, and Pbs not sure though, Thanks for the info I searched on crime stats a lot today and it seems pretty mild comparred to here I read about Anita Cobby though and that was really sad and terrible what happened to her, but crime doesnt seem to be anything comparred to what it is here.

No wonder one needs to make at least 65K a year there. I guess some places in Canada are that high, but it varies widely. Where I live, if you spent $450,000 on a house you'd get a probably 3000-4000 square foot brand new house with EVERY amenity you could think of. For $200,000 here you can get a very nice house.

Thinking about starting a new thread??? Watch THIS first!

I have always had cable so I am talking about the old school free channels I guess I dont know about new ones Yes the religous channel, I believe it's done mostly by Catholics.

Ever since about 1970, the Washington, DC area has had channels 2, 4, 5, 7, 9, 11, and 13. And that was just VHF. And on UHF, it was 20, 22, 26, 32, 45, and 50. So, when I would read about Britain having like 2 or 3 channels, I wanted to throw up.

Ah Ha!!! I finally cought you out with one! I didnt pay that much but I live in a unit (apartment) so it differs, but yeah, Sydney is an expensive place to live. Qld is a whole lot cheaper, just as nice but not as populated. jesus u can come here Gnappy but I am moving to Canada! What would an alcohol sales rep get in your parts?

Apparently Anita Cobby is one of the most horrific murders that has hapened in Australia she was Mrs. NSW I think it was and was a nurse was murdered by a gang of guys and was so brutilized they even found semen in her slice in her neck. http://www.thecrimeweb.com/murder_of_anita_cobby.htmI came across it when I was searching australian crime. Happened in 1996 at the same time we were having the Low Speed OJ Simpson chase.

In Baltimore alone, you would only have to go back about a week to read about a grisly murder.
