Moving to Australia can be an amazing experience as moving there is like running towards opportunities.&nbsp; Australia is a country where the population, economy and opportunities are growing quickly. Many say that Australia is a country today like USA 50 years ago just full of excitement, enthusiasm and opportunity. It is the sixth largest country in the world with over 3 millions square mile and its population is only 20 million. English is the official language of Australia and you will have no problem communicating people in Australia if you speak English. The population consists of Caucasian (92%) and (Asian 7%) with other cultures accounting for just 1%. &nbsp;Its capital is Canberra. While other cities like Sydney, Melbourne, Perth and Brisbane provides a European/ North American life style.

	Australian society is very open minded, multicultural and young as average age here is 37 years. Job Opportunities are available to everyone and unemployment rates are very low. In most of the cities there are lots of casual jobs available for young Australians and International students. Australia has the highest minimum wages in the world that&rsquo;s why even these casual jobs are paid much more than in Europe or elsewhere in the world.

	From the Educational Prospective Australia have so many World Class Universities and its International community expands to more than 500000 students from 150 different countries of the world. These universities work with the government to ensure world class educational system and standards of teaching. Following are the top ten reasons I have researched for you guys if you are planning to move to Australia.
