Re: Fixed Speed Cameras in Brisbane - Good or Bad?

I approve of the one on the Story Bridge. It is just so scary driving over there with the speed that people go. You have to keep up with them or face having an accident.

Re: QUEENSLAND UNI

No worries. You just take the 3 best results, in this case 3 Cs. That equates to 85 points which is an OP of 4. That would get her in just about most courses.

Glad my son doesn't go into...

Re: QUEENSLAND UNI

Deferment is quite common as lots of kids decide to do a gap year. Should be no problem. The university just reserves a place for you.

My son's school (state school) are strict on uniform and you have to buy the school socks. They are grey knee-length with the school colours round the top so plain grey would not do. For soccer it...

Re: citizenship, kids soon to be in university and HECS (complicated questions)

I have a son in 2nd year engineering. As PR we have to pay his domestic fees up front but only a semester at a time, i.e., twice a year, so you don't have to pay $30k. A semester for us is about...

Re: 1770/Agnes Water....anyone there?

Bumping this up for you.
We were there for the first week in July. Very beautiful but not a lot to do if you're not into boating or fishing. Had a lovely trip out to Lady Musgrave Island.

Re: National insurance!

Yes and No. When it pays out in 10, 12, 15 years time or whenever then you will get the same amount as every other pensioner in the UK gets. Then after that it isn't increased in line with inflation.

Re: Who else has been in Oz 2 years and 5 days?

Me too, well arrived 1 July 2005, so I think that's the same date. Get that citizenship quick before they insist on a test and the fee goes up from $120 to $240.
