Re: Best time to visit australia looking for jobs

Projects start all of the time, however July is the start of a new financial year and often the time when departments get new budgets.

Re: Car Tyre Punctures

No the plug won't come out....if properly fitted....as it is effectively heat welded to the wall of the tyre. I find that the can's of gunk that have been mentioned before are more of a temporary...

Re: Car Tyre Punctures

PS. The slow leak may be due to the wheel rim being damaged.....going over a pot hole, hitting the curb etc. This is also and expense issue to get fixed.

Re: Car Tyre Punctures

Now adays they can effectively weld a seal to the inside of the tyre and fix small holes. ;)

If the hole is too big it may be beyond a patch and a new set of rubber needs to be invested in.:(

Re: Buying a car after just landing

Just did a Qld eQuote for a 6 cylinder car, worth $6K. Registration was about $1,100. Hence the idea of renting a car in NSW, either from a tier 1 supplier (eg Hertz) or else a second tier supplier...

Re: Buying a car after just landing

Re: Trains are so cheap!

Too right…better to have full price Sunday with empty trains than run a cap price for all zone travel like they have in Melbourne. Cheap enough to get the family into the city and back by ferry.

Re: Travelling back home with a 3 month old baby

If your Creit card does not cover it you can also take out an insurance policy (usually for a small premium) to cover these things on a hire car

Re: I don't want that Visa Paywave thingy - is there a bank that doesn't have it?
