Hi Steve, don't know what you need to buy, but if you need everything like we did, try K Mart. They do (or did) Kitchen starter packs, pots, pans, knifes, cheese grater and more (175 piece's)all for about $150. We also got air beds, quilts, etc from there as well.

Happy Shopping
Suni

That's the good thing about Sundays in Oz - all the shops are shut so you have to go to the beach

I trust your sandcastle will be the best on the beach ?

Wendy

Must be just Perth, there are loads of shops open here on Sundays.

had a really good chillin day out

went to carrara market at 7.15am
yep thats right 7.15am and we were at the market
its was however really good
we got some excellent veggies and a couple of italian garlic loafs
came back for about 10.30 and went out to the beach ( its about 200mtrs from the hotel ) however after a couple of hours our tezza was bored

darrd i`m bored dad
darrd can we something exciting ??
like what child?
can we go fishing?
yeah why not so walked down the beach and picked the brains of a couple of the locals trotteddown to the local fishing emporium ( guys these places are huge imagine a b&q sized store just for fishing )
back to the hotel and set up the gear ( the hotel backs onto a tidal estuary ) and spent the end of the day sat on the pontoon fishing
tezza is now a confirmed fishin addict and wants me to get her up at 5am as one of the locals told her that day break was the best time to fish

anyway we all had a crackin day out
the temp was about 29 degress and some how i just didnt think of manchester once

by for now

regards steve

Wendy

Sounds like a good day out, and typical of kids to be bored after an hour of doing what they nattered you for in the first place!

Clippy

Wow Steve, everything's going ace isn't it, really pleased for you

thanks guys

for our next mildly interesting episode

trying to buy a car
in order to buy a vehicle from a dealer ( in Qld ) you need a CRN
whats a chuffin CRN??
customer registration number
emm yeah where do get one of those??
from the transport office mate
so off we trooped to the transport office
( similar to a local DVLA office in the uk )
can we have a CRN please
certainly have you got three pieces of ID
passport
permanent visa
proof of residency

bladdy hell back to the hotel get out all the paperwork we have amassed and back to the transport office
within 10 minutes we walked out with our CRN`s
called the dealership and he can now process the paperwork for the sale of the vehicles




how to get a mobile phone
well you wont believe the hassle we had just to get a mobby
you need proof of residency and a bank statement and personal id
( we got the commonwealth bank to print of a piece of headed paper with our address etc on but not the balance etc )
and for the personal id ( used passport )
this is for a $19 a month contract ( yes thats only £8 a month )
yet the first time we were refused ( no credit rating )
the lady in the shop re-applied saying i was eemployed as a spark and it was finally accepted

more mildy intresting things later
( off for me tea )

regards steve
