Default How is Audi life in Australia?

I am a long time Audi list member in Seattle. I drive an RS2'd 200 20v and love it. I'm also a regular at the Pacific Northwest track/club events. I am thinking about living abroad for a couple years and thought Australia would be fun. What kind of Audi club events do you guys have? Anybody have any opinions on the job market?

I moved to Australia from Toronto last year (moved to Brisbane). The climate is fantastic and so are the women. The job market is pretty small outside of Melbourne and Sydney if you are a professional although North American credentials are regarded quite highly so if you find a position available theres a good chance you will get it. Sydney housing is quite expensive even by North American standards (slightly more expensive than Toronto), housing in Melbourne is slightly cheaper and considerably cheaper in Brisbane (albeit rising fast). You will get a real shock with car prices here they are horrific - have a look at cars.com.au Australia also has to be one of the most heavily taxed jurisdictions in the world. That being said theres a price to pay for living in what is close to a perfect paradise. Crime is non-existent by North American standards and the quality of health care / education is pretty high.

Cant speak to Audi events Im in the market but I havent bought mine yet. Cheers

G'day audiman4, boomtownmouse,

Greetings from a Sydney based Audiphile!

Club Audi Australia has been somewhat dormant in recent times, but is now developing at an accelerating rate. Queensland (Brisbane) and Victoria (Melbourne) have their chapters up and running, New South Wales (Sydney) has recently been reinvigorated and is planning big things.

Go to www.clubaudi.com.au for more info... note that bits of this site may not be current, and will apparently be updated shortly.

What industry are you in, audiman4?

Default Currently in shipping

I currently work for a large freight forwarder with offices all over the globe. Possibility of transfering to Australia with the company exists. But I am kind of looking to get into other things with my business ecomonics degree.
