Having spent 6 months in Oz late 2006/early 2007 I'm also considering going back out there to work. I didn't work as a pharmacist last time so have no experience of the Aussie way of doing things but from what I've seen, standard of living is better over there and, currently at least, house prices are cheaper - if I sold my little 2 bed apartment in a rather poor part of town I could actually buy something pretty decent over there for less money.
Snowy - have you considered joining the Pharmaceuitcal Society of Australia as an International member? It doesn't give you the right to practice but certainly allows you to keep up to date with what's going on out there and if you ever wanted to work out there it might give you a little bit of an advantage? Just a thought
