Re: Bargain ski break wanted

Webjet will be all about a DYI thing, but if you're travelling alone, that might be the way to go. Try one of the shops, thats where we got the package deal.

I've ended up booking NZ, because it's cheaper than getting to the Australian snow. (BTW, saw there had been some major dumps the past few days).

I bought the $199 (reduced from 249) petrol mover from KMart. 4 stroke engine, and until Saturday, it was fab. Now cannot get the bloody thing started, so I'm getting a warranty repair!

Re: What is Canberra like?

One thing to consider is work options. If you are on a 475 visa. Most gov departments want citizenship, so the largest employer in the ACT isn't accessible.
