Re: Stressed in Sydney - Rental Help Needed!

I think this is where competition for places, or lack of it, can make a difference! We moved into our 3 bed apartment in Rhodes 9 days after hubby arrived - he viewed the weekend he arrived and...

Re: Australian Sparkling Wine, which is best?

Re: Canberra. How come...

I've been there for a few weekends (in-laws live there). On paper, it's well designed, functional, wonderful art galleries, musuems, pedestrian/bicycle friendly, etc, etc. But it has no soul. None....
