Re: Renting accommodation from abroad - how to avoid con men?

Are you serious? I am willing to be proved wrong but I wouldn't think there is anything for $250/week.

Re: Car Rental Excess - please advise

I've stayed there. Bit of a hike (though a short one) up hill but I'm sure it is by far the best accommodation in Yeppoon. We had 3bed thing with enormous balcony.

When I came over back in 2002 I got about $2.80. Of course I sold my house for a huge amount less than it soon became worth under the house price boom.

Swings, roundabouts etc.

Re: Orthodontist - continuing treatment

I keep reminding my son that his orthodontics cost more than the car.

How can a few bits of plastic and wire cost so much money?

Re: renting with pets?

Put an anti-bark collar on so it doesn't upset the neighbours and they might not even know it is there.

Rentals here have regular inspections (6 monthly?) but they let you know some time in...

Re: renting with pets?

You'd find it easier to rent with a child murderer than with a dog I suspect.

My landlord accepts dogs. But then they were friends before landlords and are also dog-owners.

Re: Killing snakes?

It is much riskier to take spade or other implement to a snake than to walk away slowly and calmly.

Re: 457 to PR

You can apply your judgment to the value of sponsorship but in my opinion it is not worth $60k a year, unless you are really, really desperate to be in Aus and have no other means of doing so.
