Id stay in Australia, quit my job and go back to university, mid you $950,000 thousand aussie dollars wont buy you much of a lifestyle hear, id be comfortable without being rich.
If i had to go overseas, malaysia would be the best pick I think, you can easily get to the rest fo SE asia, and it's also not all that far from my family and my wifes family in South Korea.

i wouldn't live anywhere, same as now. why tie yourself down to one place? especially if you have the means to go where ever you what whenever you want?
i figure US$1 million would last me around 20 years. i'd prolly be spending somewhere in the neighborhood of 50-60k/yr. with that type of money i would prolly be spending a lot more time in places like china and a lot less time in countries like cambodia.
the annual rotation might look something like
2 months thailand
2 months philippines
3 months china/hk/macau
1 month asia misc
2 months mexico (visiting family, etc)
2 months latin america misc
If I had to choose immediately-- somewhere in Central America-- already did Panama, so maybe Bogota. If I could find a job along with the money-- Santiago, Chile.
If I had time to research cost of livings/areas-- probably somewhere in Southeast Asia. But right now I know nothing about it, so I can't comment beyond that.
If I was much older and closer to retirement, I'd take an early retirement, settle in Panama with a pensionado visa, buy a yacht, and travel via the sea!
Please tell me this was just a mistake. Also, compared to other cities in Colombia Bogota is not as nice as Medellin, Cali, Pereira, Manizales, etc.

One million dollars would barely get you from Heathrow to central London and into a room for the night. Even without hyperbole, it would be very hard to live in the UK for more than about 5 years without some additional source of income.
Right, it would be a very short stay indeed. Then I'd take the financial pressure off a bit and move elsewhere. Always wise to have a backup plan.
I am going to assume the OP doesn't consider the other dimensions of a major move relevant for this question. I brought up the idea of language barriers, but assuming that its not important in this context, I don't imagine ease of immigration [or lack thereof] is an issue either.
That said, I'd give Japan a shot too but I might be out of money even faster than London!
