Re: What’s the current situation like for car mechanics in Aus?

My mechanic friend walked straight into a job (this was four years ago)

Re: Sydney NYE fireworks - Goer or hopeless.

We always stay on Cockatoo island. Party atmosphere but you’re not stuck in one spot. Straight to the tent to sleep after midnight.
