This rings true to me. Some other thoughts: Online-banking is great. Commonwealth Bank for example has a great app and website experience. It is very much living in the future compared to Germany for example. Dealing with the city council is mostly great with lots of transactions being possible online. Drivers license, parking permits and things like this. Also, paying the numerous fines is very straightforward. Winters feel freezing cold inside due to lack of insulation. At the same time winter feels super pleasant outside with mid twenty degrees centigrade and lots of sun. You'll bring a woollen jumper to work in scorching summer due to blasting aircon. Lots of interactions are on a first name basis where it would be strictly Mr/Ms LastName in Germany. There are lots of mosquitoes but they are huge and mostly silent. Compared to the ones in Germany that are practically invisible and noisy and keep you up at night. Australians ones will bite you plenty at night without waking you up.
