Reduces interest costs and tax free.

Rural and remote are two very different beasts here. Remote to me would be the worst option ( having the hindsight of years living here ) but that’s just my opinion as you may love it. Rural is a bit of f a coin toss, some good some bad ?? Once you know where you could be let us know here and I’m quite sure you will get some good advice.

If you don’t need finance then just buy the car outright.

Doesn’t suggest anything except I think it strange………..:::

I don’t suppose you know “how often I think it happens “ ? No one needs to get misty - eyed etc to support whoever they support it’s a sport thing and as you say your not interested in sport so you probably won’t get.

Spot on. It would be strange for anyone to change the country they support against their place of birth. in a sporting sense (unless they’ve been here since primary school / early teens or had a bad experience in their homeland )

Wasn’t too fussed on the bacon when I got here ( or the sausagesI) have slowly got used to the bacon and cannot for the life of me find decent gammon. Have uour favourite Chippy takeaway or curry as you won’t have it for a few years I suppose.

About 5 yrs ago.

Back in 2004 my Australian partner lived in the uk with me for a few years and I don’t remember there being any issues with getting a NI number/ card issued. Also regarding your kids passports, I have an Australian born child so simply applied for a British passport for them ( I am British born to British born parents )

What’s your thoughts on Westpac at the moment Whey aye ?

If you type in an address of a house on a particular street you like then this should land you on realestate.com with the particular house details you have searched, click on this and scroll away, it should then give you the homes previous sold prices and even a close indication of its current value.( sometimes homes won’t show previous sold prices but then you just type in next door ) Obviously next doors price is only a indicator but it gives you something to work off

Well providing that is all correct, ancestry visa is still the much easier way to go.

My Australian born child was able to get a British passport simply because i was his British born parent, so could be even simpler…………

Been a while since we went through the process but don’t bother with a buyers agent just get yourself a good settlement agent and they should give you solid advice.

I’m not sure on the requirements for Brisbane but am reasonably sure most states have businesses that offer basic /intermediate/advanced scaffolding courses, each course taking around 4 days or so.

Not sure what bit I missed but I certainly wish goodwill to all, especially any recent arrivals to Australia and hope they weren’t made to feel unwelcome. Merry Christmas!

Nice back peddling but you have clearly stated your views in earlier posts Just own it............

If you personally make people from overseas feel unwelcome that’s fine, just don’t lump everyone else into your way of thinking.

Absolute rubbish.

Going back a few years now my bank informed me that simply logging in / out would keep an account active ( so no need for deposits/withdrawals)

We have some friends here who are looking at the Sunshine Coast etc. What is Hervey Bay and Bundy like? Any particular bits to avoid? Work / schools etc. Early 40s, young at heart couple with a 8 or 9 yr old. He is a tradesman and she admin / pa The work you are doing looks great by the way

I have a British passport for my Aus born child and inside it states British citizen.

At this stage no harm in asking. Let us know what they offer.

Yes, go with them and if you can guide them around the easiest, straight roads around your home so the test drive is a pleasant experience ( 5 mins is long enough) Also if anyone queries why you selling or the cheapness just tell them a relative has offered you their car for a bargain price so that means you can sell yours a bit cheaper. Obviously have a car model in mind for if they ask you what car you are getting from this “relative”.

Get it on Carsales ( $60 till sold ) and gumtree (free) I am currently on Carsales site and just had a quick look at 2014 fiestas (obviously not sure what model yours is) going for around $10000 but you need it gone so advertise for $7900 and be prepared to let go for low $7ks give or take ( yours is low kms so should get good interest ) Dont tell anyone your living the country or you will be getting terrible offers. If you took it into a car yard you would probably only get $2/3k for it so keep this in mind if you do get any interest........ Dont bother servicing just make sure oil level etc not low.
