For internal flights, they stopped flying them for a while. Now you can fly them, but only if you use an approved Pet transport provider (Dogtainers, Jetpets etc.)

This is from the latest 'Construction in Australia - Key Trends and Opportunities by State and Territory to 2025' report
QuoteThe Australian construction industry is expected to register an annual growth of 2.3% in real terms in 2021 - up from a contraction of 2.3% in 2020. The sector's output this year will be supported by residential construction activity, while non-residential construction, which supported growth last year, is likely to lag.
In the short term, a downside risk to the industry's output arises from the temporary halt on construction activities in Greater Sydney, from the 19th to the 30th July 2021, owing to the rising cases of the delta variant of the coronavirus, and the subsequent lockdown measures to contain the spread.
On a positive note, however, the government is focusing on its infrastructure-led economic recovery plan, and as part of its fiscal year (FY) 2021/2022 (July 2021-June 2022) Budget released in May 2021, announced an additional investment of AUD15.2 billion (US$11.8 billion) for infrastructure works over the next 10 years. In its latest budget, the government also extended the First Home Loan Deposit and the New Home Guarantee schemes and introduced the Family Home Guarantee scheme. The three schemes are expected to support the construction industry over the short and medium terms, highlighted by the strong growth in dwelling permits this year. According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS), the total value of residential buildings approved in the country rose by 40.7% year -on year (YoY) in the first five months of 2021.
Over the remainder of the forecast period, the publisher expects the industry to gain further momentum and register a real annual average growth of 3.4% between 2022-2025, supported by the investments on transport, housing, mining, energy, and Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) projects. In April 2021, the government announced that it had received 121,000 HomeBuilder applications, which are expected to have generated residential construction works worth AUD30 billion (US$18.4 billion). The residential sector's output over the forecast period will also be supported by the RBA's likely commitment to maintain a low official cash rate, coupled with improving economic activity and falling unemployment. In another positive development, most state governments have released their budgets for FY2021/2022, with significant funding allocated towards transport, residential, health and educational infrastructure projects. Over the long term, the industry's growth will be supported by an investment of AUD110 billion (US$74.7 billion) on transport infrastructure over the next 10 years under the rolling infrastructure plan.

Also worth keeping an eye on CommSec's 'State of the States' quarterly report which covers construction & 'dwelling starts' https://www.commsec.com.au/stateofstates
You can view the Federal Govt's 10 year infrastructure plan at https://investment.infrastructure.gov.au/
While each State will also have their own, eg. QLD - https://www.statedevelopment.qld.gov.au/industry/infrastructure/infrastructure-planning-and-policy/state-infrastructure-strategy

Maybe it was an integration issue. Australian's love a beer, perhaps partaking in a beverage or two with the locals would have helped with the transition.
A fine selection can be found below.

But you know for anyone reading this and freaking out, this would a one in a billion occurrence and unlikely ever to happen. Again this was on the far retching outskirts of Sydney, up on The Hawkesbury River with a fenceless garden backing onto dense wild bushland, where we had lots of wildlife visiting the garden every day anyway (kangaroos, wallabies, possums, monitor lizards, echidnas, birds of prey, pythons), and it would not happen in the inner city and surrounding suburbs.
That's a fair point, we're rural here, on 40 acres. Never saw any snakes when we lived in the SE suburbs on Melbourne or suburbs of Townsville.

We had a few snake encounters in Cairns - Pythons kept taking the Chickens. Where we are now (an hour outside Brisbane) we've had 1 dog killed and another 3 bitten with Brown snakes and I've had closeup experiences with (what I hope) were only tree snakes - One literally dropped out of a tree onto my shoulder and shot off. The other, I was fetching some washing in and it was under a sheet, that gave me a bit of a fright

42.3 today, which for this area, is the hottest December day on record.
Still, at least the coming week is marginally cooler

That's shocking! How far from you is that fire? Is it causing you worry?
There's a few fires, but nothing threatening our property, the main one is about 15km North and another one about 20km east of us

If it's a new account was there an account establishment fee? or maybe a special meter reading fee.

Am I Missing Something about Perth ?

This interactive map was on the SBS site around 18 months ago. It shows the top countries of birth by Suburb (excluding Australian born). Some of Perth's Northern suburbs have between 20 - 30% British born.
