Sydney. Melbourne. Adelaide. Perth. A conservative government but a fairly 
sceptical community attitude to godbotherers. Excellent standard of living 
and food. Good health care. Problems with El Niño, drought, bushfires, but 
California's getting that way too, and Australia isn't going to swallow 
your whole city one day. Of course, someone else in the region might decide 
they'd like the real estate.
