Australia is becoming an increasingly popular location among Britons who want to move abroad, according to new statistics.

Figures from currency specialist HiFX showed that country was the subject of almost a quarter of the enquiries it received from would-be expatriates last year.

This placed it ahead of many other popular locations including Canada, Spain, France and the US.

However, HiFX director Mark Bodega said Australia's numerous attractions were not the sole reason for people wanting to leave the UK.

He commented: "A strong pound, rising house prices and good job opportunities abroad tend to be main reasons for Brits to emigrate."

Figures from the firm also showed that during 2007, the overall interest in emigrating to another country was up by 22 per cent on the previous year.

This comes after a poll by insurance firm AXA found that Australia was widely considered to be the world's most desirable retirement destination and also a popular location for real estate investors looking to buy investment property.
