For me personally?
Cons: Leaving family and friends behind, the physical isolation, being so far away from the people you love is a total headfuck, living near your in-laws, suburban life, culture shock, lack of diversity, being surrounded by racist pricks, white privilege, switching careers.
Pros: Sunshine on tap, amazing landscape, living near the water, standard of living, having to learn to drive, cheap property, cheap guitars, switching careers.
It's a high price to pay for some creature comforts. I came out here to support my OH but it's been very hard on us both.

I've been in Oz for over five years now, in a lot of ways it's been crap (but in a lot of other ways it's been fantastic) but the lack of rain and abundance of sunshine has made it all okay... Wouldn't change a thing!
