Why do British people continue to immigrate still in large numbers to Australia and New Zealand (but not, say Canada)? (2013, apartment)

Australia is more car oriented than the UK.

Outside the cities, public transportation is horrid.

Australia is a HUGE country and you could fit many many UK's in it.. Outside of the cities it is pretty sparsely populated. It wouldn't make a lot of sense building large networks of PT for areas with minimal population..

I don't think it is. There are more cars in the United Kingdom than Australia.

If you couldn't piece it together, I was referring to winter.

If it will help, next time I'll spell it out for you on those little alphabet blocks.

Obviously you couldn't work out that I was talking about summer.

That's not what either of them were saying. You most likely need a car in Australia, hence the higher per capita, vs the UK. They were not talking about the absolute number of cars in either country. Yes, the UK has more cars than Australia by virtue that it has triple the population of Australia, but as a percentage, less Brits own a car than Aussies do.

I was surprised by the number for Canada, only 607 per 1,000 people. I had assumed Canadians would be pretty similar to Australians in that regard, but apparently not.

Australia is definitely more car oriented than the UK. And I have always find that the public transport in Canadian cities (despite the harsher weather) are some of the better ones between US/Canada/Australia/NZ, though the Australian cities public transport is not bad.

Canadian cities, especially Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver, are sort of between American/Australian and European/Asian cities in density/transit-use.
