Many, thats not a overly true statement, more are actually from families that decided to move of their own free will.
But yes i agree some of us Australians do probably act correctly while away from home, but having travelled the world, i can say that you should not judge others until you see what your own country folk do while in other countries also.
Its not just aussies.
point out that Australians are decended from British cast-offs

I do believe there is some money still to be made, but long term property is not something i'm after in Poland, I have my piece of land, a flat and will probably build next year, i suppose i'm lucky as i will still be able to keep the flat. I think the big money making on quick turn overs may be not as good as 5 years ago. But thats my op. Im sure there is others here willing to give it a go.
I do think it is hard for the locals, some find good jobs, some dont, its like that all over the world, look at some of the areas around Melb, i would not live their, but its up to people and what they can afford, atleast in Poland uni is free. so you do have a good education system.
I think some of the big companies coming into Poland, should have stricter rules placed on them, its not a slave labour country, they need to treat people a bit better, i have heard some shocking stories.
I suppose the big difference i see is that some of us foregniers can afford to take a gamble with our money and it wont kill us if it doesnt work, but if it does, we have made a bit.
As for us investing in Poland, each to there own, i pay my tax here, zus, insurance, all the thing locals do, so i see no reason why i cant make some money here.

Sometimes i think back, and wonder what we have done, all my wife's friends or people we meet think we are made for leaving the so called promise land. But it's a different life style here, more relaxed, but as you say the red tape is annoying, but they are a bit quicker when they realize you are english speaking. Learning the lingo is hard. My wife is a fantastic help, wouldn't try it by myself. But there is great business ops here for people willing to work hard at it.

i would like to know what is wrong with a non POL making money, people have been doing it in different countries all around the world for years. The Japanese own half of Australia. Ok maybe not that much. Anyone who can afford can purchase property in the UK.

we bought a plot of land about 20kms out of Wroclaw about 8 months ago, and are now looking to build on it, the other we looked at the land prices in the area and they have doubled. And yes, there is alot of Polish nationals buying up around us, i think i'm the token foreigner in our area.
