You have to be a member (of Dividend Miles) for at least 12 days before you can buy miles so sign up ASAP - no cost is involved.

Re: Vendor breaking contract to sell.

Re: Best neighbourhood(s) in/around Wollongong

Re: Car Insurance

There aren't any comparison sites which include the major insurers (Allianz, AAMI, RACQ, NRMA, Suncorp, etc) - at least, none that I have found.
