UK women lured to Oz to find love 23 September 2008
British women unhappy with a constant search to find Mr Right in the UK are being urged to up sticks and move to Australia.
A new advertising campaign encouraging Britons to move Down Under is targeting single women in the UK and attempting to lure them to the country's good economy, cheap house prices and hot men.
Bill Muirhead, South Australia's agent general in London, said research had been carried out which shows that British women are actively looking for love but unable to find it in the UK
.
It might have something to do with the fact that 50.4 per cent of the Australian male population is single, compared to just 34.7 per cent in the UK.
Add to that its 300 days of sunshine a year, warm beaches and lower house prices and Australia could be the perfect place to move to in order to succeed in the dating game.
Mr Muirhead said: "We can offer UK migrants a quality lifestyle, strong career prospects, beautiful beaches, world-class wine and fine weather.
"Our research shows that many single British women are actively looking for love but not finding it.
"So we asked our men, who are bronzed, sportier, and who are enjoying a booming economy, to step up to the plate and entice British women to a better way of life."
Glaukius was smitten with love for the fair Chrysis who unfortunately did not return the sentiment.
