would you believe there was a little flurry of sleet and snow this morning in moree at 7am today! i'm sooooooo not used to this cold weather!

cool pics mate!

realestate.com.au is great for browsing apartments so have a nose there for prices on rent and bonds, personally i'd try to go for something will bill included in the rent as you'll be hammering the air con up there... power would be your biggest bill, can't help with cost of bills as i haven't paid a bill over here since 2008... i'm sneaky haha and get jobs that pay all that stuff.

Well get your rods out in the NT http://www.ntnews.com.au/lifestyle/fishing/the-next-territory-barra-you-catch-could-be-worth-1m/story-fnkchy3h-1227438967011

Soooooooooo Cold... how's everyone else doing? Been blowing and cold as out on the moree plains today!

camping near carnarvon gorge, this poor fella had at some point had his hair seriously trimmed

quote from their site.... [h=2]Are the plates mine for life?[/h]We understand that our plates are a fun and very personal way to add some individual flair to your vehicle. No doubt you've put much time and effort into deciding on your combination and we'd like you to keep that combination for as long as you like. However, it's important to remember that there's also a serious legal side to plate ownership. This means that at certain stages during their lifetime you may need to do certain things to ensure that you don't lose or accidentally transfer your rights. Provided you keep us informed if your plates are not attached to your car for longer than six months, you don't accidentally on-sell your plates with an old vehicle, and your plates do not need to be recalled, your plates will be yours for life.

pretty sure you can just buy the rights to the plates and then you do have to pay an annual fee to keep those rights, pretty sure the annual rights aren't to expensive.. i had private plates in qld a few years ago but my memory sucks sorry lol. might be worth having a look/conntacting this company https://www.vplates.com.au/faq

here's one camping spot from on the bight, is free and right near the sa/wa border, phone reception and a servo only 10ks away that has showers for like $5

i've done the drive a few times and the flight, if you've never done the drive i'd say make a holiday of it! the some amazing spots to camp on the bight! you could do carnavon gorge and the flinders ranges on the way as well without to much of a detour.

G'day Matt, next time i'm on the goldie i'd be up for some beers, good luck with the move mate

that company does actually ring a bell, was a while ago now and the old memory is failing haha, best of luck for this season btw!

it's a funny old game for sure, how do you harvest your grapes? a year or so ago i applied for a job harvesting grapes and didn't even realise till then that they could be mechanically harvested

the rains actually been pretty good out here, had a big rain a week or two ago then a few days of 1mm, 3mms plus some really heavy dews, great soil out here as well so boss is hoping for a good result this harvest.... it's almost been too wet haha as been struggling to get the spraying done.

i need a better camera rather than just using my phone haha, was an epic storm! must have been up in the 10 strikes a minute region!

do they need the actual address the container needs shipping to or just a postal address in aus for correspondence? if it's just a postal address i know a good mail forwarding company.

Got some awesome pictures this arvo of storms rolling through Moree.. god i love storms :cool:

i'd highly recommend this place http://www.booking.com/hotel/au/cheltenham-apartments.html Stayed there for eight nights recently, you get your own lock up garage, very big well appointed apartment and the location is perfect, really nice helpful friendly owners as well.

it's a hard one mate and i know how it feels changing yourself and what you want to keep someone else happy. maybe give it abit of time before you make the decision to make sure in your mind.

for a change

i'd agree with what everyone else has said, probably better off selling it and using the shipping space for something else

bloody awesome, happy birthday mate!

You'll need a returning residents visa after the expiry date, have a nose on the immi website, as long as you've been in Australia for two years recently you can get a fresh 5 year visa for $345. Good luck

Traveled Europe more. god lol, I can only think of that one

I actually worked for a dairy in cobram for three months this time last year, two herds, four milkings a day. There's no poo like dairy poo lol
