Aussies in London

When I lived in London I was amazed at the thousands of Aussie, NZers
and S.Africans there. Is the reverse true? Are there thousands of
Brits down under?
I've only ever travelled north of the equator, so I'm clueless about
this...
Thanks,

Yes. In fact many thousands of British folk living in OZ are able to
vote. I think the general idea is that Aussies and Kiwis go to the UK
for their Overseas Experience, work for a year, and then flee home to
where it is warm, often dragging along a score of Poms with their tales
of paradise.

Yep Poms go anywhere in the world, just to escape

They can still vote, as long as (IIRC) they arrived before 1984.

One reason I was curious is that I am a British immigrant to Canada.
Certainly, Canada is in many ways Paradise compared to Britain, not
the reverse, mainly because the prices and pressures of life in
England are awful (I lived in England again from 1997 to 2001, and
have also lived in considerably less-pressured Germany). Mind you I
don't live in Toronto (labelled "cash city" by one Quebecois singer)
or Vancouver (where I'm told prices of houses are similar to London.)
I presume Sydney is pretty high-pressure too? Actually I live in
Montreal, which is a bit of a Latin oasis in Anglo-Saxon Canada, so
maybe I have a skewed view. Also, I am well aware that "London" is not
equal to "England", though my relations are all British farmers and
experiencing lots of stress despite being in the countryside...
