Re: Inground water tanks - anyone done one

No not in poor old parched Melbourne, but on the Sunshine Coast, a place called Peregian not far from Noosa. We get buckets of rain, but I think we'll face restrictions in the not too distant future...

Re: 405 investor retirement visa processing times

Yes I believe so.... but do check. There are some good threads on here, but also on www.gomatilda.com about 405 applications. Probably worth a read of those.

Re: 405 investor retirement visa processing times

Yes you can do medicals straightaway, just like police checks. There are standard requirements, and you'll definitely need chest x rays and blood tests. But their validity is time-limited (same as...

Re: OPinions on these cars please?

That's strange, in general we've found the UK versions (while more expensive on Japanese cars), tend to have higher spec. I've just finished a reverse auction process with a car broker for a Nissan...
