Guest lemongirl Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 I'm curious how much bills are in Aus - ie how much do you pay for gas, electricity, water etc? We'll be a family of 4 resumably in a 4 bdr house in Newcastle NSW, if anyone is in a comparable situation thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Love Shoes Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 We haven´t been here long, so all a bit vague for us too, we have had one electricity bill which was around $70 for a month our next one is due in August they do them every 3 month´s or that´s what they told me. Phone is another odd one, because the telephone company cocked up, we had one and paid it for $121 for a month, but we were supposed to be on a internet package and the internet did not arrive, so we complained to the MP, it all got sorted in the end and they rang to say they were giving us two free months ...... so the next one is August but it should be around $130 for the package we are signed up to plus calls to the UK. I just really wanted to bump this up for you so that others who have had more bills than us can help you. Sorry to be so vague, but as I said we are quite new to this too ....
