The price of electrical fittings is insane but I am fortunate to have contacts in the trade who can get me stuff for below trade price.
even when your in the "trade" after three years i`m still abusing the local cnw lads when i ask for quotes, that and its all very dated

Kites were seen, bought and flown ... German Sausages were consumed with nary a thought for the expense or, indeed, the war.

Lots of free stuff too ... balloons, Sizzler snacks, wine tasting, aerobatic display, skydivers.

It's on tomorrow as well so I'd recommend anyone in the Redcliffe area to wander along ...

I just can't get over how expensive chocolate is here. If I had known in advance, it could have been a deal breaker!

You may be all interested in the Big Mac Index
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Mac_Index

does a comparison of all countries selling the big mac to work out the differences in value

http://www.oanda.com/currency/big-mac-index
Australia is 8% overvalued
UK is 7% under
Euro is 15% over

Seems UK is cheaper for this too!

'Bloody expensive place to live is Ozstralia'

Wish now I bought both our cars over.
Price of cars are shocking.

A friend of mine bought his over and only cost him grand to do it(pounds).

I left a Polo and diesel Passat back home in the UK, they would be worth a hell of a lot more over here too.
Would of saved myself $20/25k dollars buying the two here.

But Oz is has its pluses, but not so many for us at the moment.

I've ordered a Jetta. I checked and the price here is virtually the same as the UK price.
