Press Release Body = Recent figures released by Australia\'s Immigration Minister
show that last year Australia accepted its highest number of migrants in 20 years.
The biggest migrant group was from the UK, with more than 18,000 Britons making
Australia their home during the 2004-2005.

In particular the states of Western Australian and Queensland proved to be favourite
Australian destinations for British migrants, with glorious beaches, tropical
rainforests and warmer weather helping to lure Brits down under.
