Immigration stats released in the last week show that Western Australia (Perth) is the most popular state for British immigration to Australia, followed by our very own Queensland. The numbers for 12 months were,

  • Western Australia 5100
  • Queensland 4190
  • New South Wales 4160
  • Victoria 2650
  • South Australia 1725
  • Tasmania 170
  • Capital Territory 140
  • Northern Territory 90

    • My take on the numbers is that a lot of Poms are choosing smaller cities for quality of life reasons while less than you might expect are heading for Australia’s big two – Sydney (New South Wales) and Melbourne (Victoria).
