Good luck to your son Jem44! Remember the best drivers always pass second time around! :cool:

Well I was brought up on Marmite but I'm learning to like Vegemite. Still prefer Marmite though if I'm honest.

Good luck Thylacine! Sounds like a tricky one. Keep us posted.

It's another case of AirBnB!

Think Perth's come down in price a bit since the mining bust.

They are starting to get much more strict about taking holidays during term time... but if you're migrating I would think that's a pretty good reason to miss a bit of school.

A teacher was telling me the same thing here. Focus on NAPLAN means that subjects like science don't get much of a look in anymore.

Good luck Lorri. Hope it all goes well.

We have a heat pump. Supposed to be cheaper to heat than gas but also slower to heat. We rarely use it as you have to leave it on for 36-48 hours to get the heat up. We don't have a blanket though which would stop the overnight heat loss. But the getting in and out bit is hard when it's off season. Heard that solar can ruin your roof tiles and can get damaged by birds. Good luck with your decision.

Data consumption is going through the roof so the telcos have to keep upping their limits.

$30 per hour in Sydney. But after about 24 hours you would never know they'd been! :chatterbox:

Big decisions to make. Good luck with everything.

Exactly

Not sure this is the case any more. Most rentals I've seen in Sydney cost very nearly as much as a mortgage and are in poor condition because the landlord wants money for jam. Not easy to find good quality rentals without paying more than the mortgage would cost you. That's my experience anyway.

Yeah but no but yeah but no but...
