My kid brought this home from their school library today. Way out here in the desert southwest of the United States. I think it’s a neat piece of Aussie culture that I did not expect to find here.
My question is: does this book hold any particular cultural cachet for Australians, similar to like the Hungry Caterpillar book by Eric Carle or others?
Appreciate the suggestions. I thought to start here since we’ll be setting up home in Brisbane. Posted now in those other communities.
It’s been a matter of priorities. A few prerequisites for even being employed in Australia and making the journey over. While I had a minute, I thought I might try to get a high level “banks bad, credit unions good” or whatever sort of overview. Thanks for the input, mate. Good on ya.
Appreciate heads up on the superannuation. I understand the company to pay 14% of base pay into super, on top of “normal” pay. I’ll verify though. All the tax stuff as an expat has me spinning. Fortunately we shouldn’t have to worry too much until next year.
Got it, smuggling in cases of Dr Pepper in our lift. Check. Do you prefer your kickback in cans or cash?
Nice, thanks for that!
I appreciate the commentary, especially about loading up on the Mexican food. I had a sneaking suspicion that we’d end up having to make our own more often than not.
Seems to be very similar to the US system. Not quite sure why I was expecting any drastic differences. Thanks!
