Logan central is IMO not a very nice place. Imagine Logan is like Gtr Manchester ,it is huge and around the ctr you have Woodridge and Kingston that don't get great feedback, the outer Logan area's are worlds apart and there are some nice suburbs with reasonably priced property and decent schools public and private.

Sorry but I have to stick up for Kingston....we bought a lovely big double brick house and have lived here in Kingston for 3 years now and are VERY happy here. We have the best neighbours anyone could have......introduced themselves as soon as we moved in......give us mangos off their trees...mow our nature strip when they mow their's.....no noise pollution......no hoons on our road....no late night parties etc etc.

Previously rented in "respectable" Westlake....parties nearly every weekend...no sleep.....motorbikes screeching up and down the road till early hours....neighbours never spoke to us.

Logan has it's bad areas like anywhere else and we have never felt unsafe or had any trouble. Feel much safer here than I ever did in UK.

Just saying :smile:

Social worker in UK: £30 per hour

social worker/caseworker in Sydney: $29.11 per hour

Wow $29.11 as a social worker in Sydney? I work as a carer in Brisbane and get $35 per hour

This country is 30 yrs behind the rest of the world

 

In what way?

 

Australia is WAY ahead the rest of the world in many ways:

Look at the Aussie inventions saving lives...cervical cancer vaccine and leading the world in other cancer treatments

Anti flu meds

Spray on skin

Cochlear implants

Contact lenses

Plastic spec lenses

Ultrasound

 

Also thanks to the Aussies we have:

 

Underwater torpedos

Anti hacking software

Black box flight recorders

Tanks

Google Maps

Pacemakers

Wifi

Refrigerators

Electric drills

World's 1st full length feature film

etc etc etc

 

Australia also has THE best steak in the world IMO

And the friendliest people with a great sense of humour ( I only hear Poms whinge ....not Aussies)

 

How come you stayed so long if you are obviously hating being here????

Of

 

I remember a report some years ago...I think it was in the "New Scientist" magazine...which concluded that having a toilet in the bathroom was unhealthy because they discovered a high concentration of faecal matter on toothbrushes from toilet flushing.

Yes I read something similar.....also if you flush with the lid up the spray goes everywhere......how many people have a towel rail next to or very near to the loo...ugh....:wacko:

Is it really that hard to wash dishes by hand?:eek:HmmI guess it depends how many times per day you wash up right?We only wash dishes twice a day,sometimes only once.More energy by hand?Hows that work?I actually enjoy doing dishes.Its actually quite relaxing!

I'm wondering though,ok most sinks these days are stainless steel,and I'm guessing so are dishwashers,but dw's also contain components,wires and so on.

By "energy" I meant electricity. I use my dishwasher every other day...full load... my dishwasher uses 11 litres of water and costs 20 cents a load including heating the water. Sink takes 20+litres without rinsing. Costs more to heat water in sink than it does to run dishwasher. Plus with a very busy working life it is a God send. In my time off I prefer to be outside in fresh air.

Some tips,handwash dishes rather than use a dishwasher,.........

hand washing dishes takes 5 times the effort.....uses 6 times more water and uses more energy than using the dishwasher...
