anapher Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 But the zoo in Adelaide has Panda's (and Australian animals) I'd think Adelaide to Alice would be better than Perth to Alice, but then I guess it depends on where you want to go after Perth/Alice Springs. If it's more WA then Perth last would make sense, but if you're planning to go to Darwin then it'd be Alice last. If that makes sense. Pandas? Aww. Sounds terribly tempting:teehee: Actually I don't know yet what I'm gonna do afterwards. My flight back home goes from Brisbane so I thought of maybe heading east. It will be expensive anyway I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soangel Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Haha, yeah but MOST vet bills are under $100, and it's mostly over $300 a year for dogs. It's useful only if you have at least one disaster/surgery every year, and generally I hope that wouldn't happen. I mean, the thing it's actually good for is some kind of $20,000+ illness, but I'm just hoping if Ambrose is going to get himself into trouble like that he'd at least have the decency to wait a couple of years. : Whereas Wench's sprained knee set me back $400 nearly in vet bills. So if she just does something like that once a year I'll still be saving money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll finish watching them when I'm not at work and needing to get stuff done (I have a funeral to go to and I have to go in a bit over an hour).

anapher Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Hmmm.... how much longer are you here for? another 5 months so I still have a bit of time left:biggrin2: I went to the zoo the other day but the entry fee is ridiculous and I'm pretty broke at the moment so I didn't went in :-P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Australia would be one of the best places on earth to live if it wasn't so terribly expensive:boxed: Dubbo is in the country and everything seems slightly more expensive around here. For some things, the city is a lot cheaper. Speaking of expensive, it's funny when people complained about the cost of Mika's concert tickets a few years back. People were complaining about tickets costing about $50AUD (or less) in Europe, whereas tickets here cost about $85 for his show. Admittedly, Australia is in the middle of nowhere, but geez stuff gets a lot more expensive here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I have seen so far, almost everything is expensive here, in the cities as well. The only exception are CDs which is driving me crazy because for me it doesn't make any sense to buy any here:boxed: But on the other hand the wages are higher as well so it's kind of alright (if you have work) I guess.So I guess there is no way to get to Dubbo without a car anyways?

soangel Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 Yeees:biggrin2:I think it was something over 30$. Thats actually about standard. The zoo in Sydney is a fair bit more. 85$? Where was that?

No, not really... It's about 1 1/2 hours west of where I am, and I'm about 4 or so hours west of Sydney... Thats actually about standard. The zoo in Sydney is a fair bit more. Just a show in Sydney.

Well I'm on it a lot but I don't post too often haha. I post maybe twice a week, sometimes more. The job hunt is exhausting. Have had 3 interviews, so that's promising but wasn't successful in any though got good feedback (need to do some research over the 2 week break). I just want a job so I can move out. What is this, the return of the 90s? All the 90s bands are touring again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nico_collard Posted April 3, 2012 Author Share Posted April 3, 2012 That has come round quickly! Damn straight it has! I've been so focussed on the engagement party that I've hardly even started packing (or even getting my suitcase down off the top of my cupboard )... I plan on at least writing out what I need to pack this week, then I'll start packing... I totally plan on having only about 10kg in my bag Yay for your trip. I'm sure you'll have a blast. Haven't had much casual work yet but it'll pick up this term. First term is always slow. (It's school holidays now) Should be good, really looking forwards to it. I'm going to Villiers-Brettoneux for Anzac Day, so I'll probably be on the look out for teaching resources etc (I'm constantly looking out for teaching resources, even though I never use them in my current job )... Good point, hopefully things will really pick up, cause you can never have enough experience... And seriously, you're on school hols already? We don't start till the end of this week...

anapher Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Okay, I found a better way to spend my money Thank you soo much for telling me about the Oz Comic Con.

I totally plan on having only about 10kg in my bag Well the thing is, that you can buy T-shirts and dresses and shoes anywhere these days, so they are hardly worth packing. My brother goes abroad with the clothes he travels in, one change of clothing and one smart outfit. Then he just buys cheap T-shirts and jeans or shorts when he gets to his destination, and dumps it when it is time to come home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
