Sorry for the delay in replying @koti as I've moved to Australia now. You shouldn't be able to taste the vinegar, you should just get a tang that cuts through the spice x

Welcome to OZ! Hope you are enjoying the summer.

Can buy land line phones dirt cheap nowadays, I fact why bother at all. Get naked broadband and use your mobiles

I second that, cjmre76. Many Aussies are doing exactly that. CHeck out http://www.heraldsun.com.au/business/breaking-news/australians-ditch-the-cord-for-wi-fi/story-fnn9c0hb-1227148230003 ... Seems to make a lot of sense, especially with competitive mobile plans in the market.

Is it just me or does anyone else get a sense that the Murdoch press is slowly turning a bit critical of Tony Abbott? If that is the case, he is toast!

Hi,

 

We will be moving to Melbourne in a few months and would like to know whether we can sign up straight away for a mobile phone contract or if we have to go on pay as you talk until we have a residential address etc?

 

If it's PAYG, who is the best provider to ensure a good 3G coverage?

 

Thanks, Rich

Hey RichSelina,

Not sure about whether you'll get a contract or not, but to know the best options for plans and carriers, look at one of the phone comparison sites like ozcompare.com.au or whistleout.com.au .... You'll find heaps of options there with recommendations on the right plans and handsets.

Hope this helps.

This is a really nice recipe, MT. Is there anything you have added to make up for the taste of the vinegar?

I guess there are a lot of commonalities, with democracy, cricket, and love for food! I'm a foodie myself, and love the fact that there are so many cuisines available in Australia and there is such culinary diversity here.

Nice story, certainly one worth sharing

Sydney from Watson's Bay today.

One of my fav Sydney spots!

This is an interesting trend, especially after the student migrations from India dropped significantly after all the problems in Melbourne a few years ago.
