Traveling to Aus I found you can go further

(money) visiting SA from Aus than visiting Aus from SA.

Cars are cheaper in Aus I must say. Fuel much cheaper in SA.

With a basic salary you can live resonable in Aus in SA you cant

Answer 3

You cant make that kind of comparison.  I stayed in Botswana for a while and their currency (p**a) is stronger to the Rand.  Not much though.  I was the only one working in Botswana and my husband was staying at home.  I managed to support my family with P6500.00 (p**a) and we managed fine.  My son was in a private school for instance which alone cost P1500.00(p**a)  But here in south africa earning R6500.00 (Rand) is hardly enough to manage for one person alone.  So what you need to take into consideration here is that when you stay in a country and you're earning that countries currency how much do you need to survive.  Compare that then to staying in Australia for instance earning that currency and how much you then need to survive.
