Re: Wildlife watching in Aus.

This is part of the same reason I'm emigrating to Aus, although for me its the reptiles. I used to be a herpetologist and Aus is hard to beat for Squamate reptile diversity. The entire top 3rd of the...

Re: Balancing worklife & family (Working hours?)

Re: Miami Vs Brisbane (with a contraversial bit) OOOH!

Thats a good point. It would be real hard for me to live in Miami & be married, much less w/ kids. I've been known to complain that the live music scene in Seattle is weak compared to Dallas, Denver...

Re: Miami Vs Brisbane (with a contraversial bit) OOOH!

I'm not so sure about that. That is, i'm not sure anyone who has been to Vegas would call Brisbane 'Brisvegas'. Vegas never sleeps- its the same sensory overload 24/7 365 days/year. On the other...

Re: Australia's one-income families the second-highest-taxed in the OECD.

Funny, I lived in California and can't seem to find any bullet holes... the main reason Californians leave the state is the high tax/high cost of living. Cal. has the highest taxes in the US (9%...

Re: certfied copies in the US

You have been duped. Notary publics notarize passports all the time. (I was a notary public for 5 years & I have staff that notarize docs such as passports for my clients).

Re: Cost of Medical Exam In USA

You have to go to a designated panel Dr. You can find the list on the DIMIA website. Our meds cost $380 apiece, but that included the chest X-rays & postage to OZ.

Re: What is form 1221????.
