Making their way up from the sunburnt country (or the ‘lucky country’ as some would have it) here to the other side of the world where the forests are thick with birch trees and punctuated with some 188,000 lakes, it’s somewhat of a surprise to discover some 600 Australians have immigrated to Finland. While, in fairness, one could turn over a rock anywhere in the world and find an Aussie underneath, given their knack for travelling the globe, somehow the harsh climate that envelops the country for nearly half of the year here would appear to be the ultimate repellent for the laid back folks from Down Under.
