It’s the 6th biggest country by landmass, yet 70% of Australia’s population lives in a major city with 100,000 residents or more. Think about how much there is to explore and discover in outback Australia.
Thousands of country towns with their own history, own people, their own hidden gems… and their own pub, of course. If you’ve been thinking of moving to the Australian Outback, we’ll encourage you all the way.
Here are some solid reasons for moving to the Australian Outback and some tips for when you do it.
Peace and Quiet
Moving to the Aussie outback is a great way to escape the hustle and bustle of the city. There are no traffic jams, no massive skyscrapers and everybody seems to take life a little slower out there.
Quality of Life
While you may not have access to department stores or top-rated plastic surgeons in outback Australia, there are some big benefits when it comes to the quality of life. Property and rent are much cheaper, and you get a lot more bang for your buck. Most people in outback towns have big yards and bigger houses and pay way less than, for example, a small unit in an inner-city suburb of Melbourne or Sydney.
Incentives
In some areas of work, there are good incentives for moving to the Australian Outback. Teachers, for example, can have up to 90% of their rent paid for depending on where in the outback they’re located. Pretty sweet, huh? Other areas of work in the outback can fetch some good coin. Mining jobs are known to have high salaries, so if you’re leaning towards a job like that, the outback could be the place for you.
It will be a character-building experience
It may seem tough at first but moving to the Aussie outback will allow you to know your strengths and weaknesses and will force you to grow as a person. It may sound a bit wishy-washy now but once you get there, you’ll understand!
Tips
Move all your stuff there
The one big tip we have to give you when moving to the Australian Outback is to move your stuff over there.
