A real estate agent is preferable to the alternative.
Hold on, no, I got that wrong.

Not a thing, I LOVE it here! I suspect you don't though, so why not just go back to where you came from!? *SIMPLES*

Somehow, though, despite the carve up the market being pretty similar to the UK, the pricing in Oz is just so similar. Unless you buy out of date food Woolworths, Coles, Bi-Lo, IGA etc just don't seem to compete on price - not sure if Aldi is the same as there ain't one in Cairns.... I can't understand why there is no price competition unless they DO follow some oligopoly pricing policy.....Oddly, it's the same at Rusty's market in Cairns - about 50 stalls - selling groceries from the Tablelands - but all at exactly the same price!! It really is odd how the price elasticity of demand theory is just so unapplicable in Oz...

Why is it more expensive to drink in Melbourne than Sydney?
