Your list pretty much sums up why so many people from Britain (and Ireland) move to Australia every year. The number of young Brits backpacking during the summer or on working holidays here is ridiculous. I even expect them to tell me now that they've seriously thought about immigrating here permanently, I rarely hear the same from other European visitors. Over 10% of the state of Western Australia are British immigrants, 5% overall for the whole country. There's more Brits in Australia then there is in all of Birmingham (Britain's 2nd largest city).
