If you're young, it is apparently super easy to get working visas/backpacking for Australia. Tis a legit option for those who wana give it a go. The current Spainish barmaid couldn't believe how simple it was for her.
Plenty of people seem to stay on permanently after as well - provided they maintain employment connections here. About a quarter of my town came from the UK recently. I think most from the US would be quite unimpressed by the reality of Oz though, especially outside of east coast cities (where the visas would take ya).
Be warned though, our cost of living is so high, the good wages wont cover as much as you think.
