Agreed, but it gets to the rail by road. Be it from the wharves, manufacturers, or elsewhere. Also, a lot of produce is not suitable for rail transportation because of increased damages associated with it. Not to mention that our rail facilities still leave a lot to be desired. There is no...

Yes, you are right, there are laws to govern all of these things and it all works well in theory. Where it falls apart is when the truckie gets held up (traffic, weather, late call for the job, load not ready - any number of reasons why) but still ends up taking the load. A lot of the time the...

I don't watch a lot of TV but I really enjoyed the recent 'Elders' series by Andrew Denton.

No idea GoAnna but maybe the Vic Tapestry Workshop could point you in the right direction. http://www.victapestry.com.au/default.asp Hope your school holidays are fun. :)

Yep, me too! Qualified in another field and worked for a huge multinational but found that there lacked a certain something in that line of work and I never felt personally satisfied. I'd meanwhile found something else that really interested me and had a lot to offer both personally and...

Good on you Daz - have a great trip! The hard yards got you there so kick back, relax and enjoy...

I've been called numerous times but always right in the middle of an exam period, so I've had to write back asking to be excused. The funny thing is that their recall period must be set to exactly one or two years, because each year the next letter asking me to serve came at the same time, and...

There are some great ideas here for a whole host of different problems, however what you really need is to be properly assessed so that a health professional can determine the cause of your problem, and then work out the best way to deal with it. It's not safe to just assume the cause is...

All the best Lizzie - I am sure you will make a success of things regardless of which way you turn - that's just the way you are. :)

Me Julie is pretty fit, ey? :cool:

My deepest condolences to you jingo. It is such sad news indeed. I was only just at a funeral a few weeks ago for a man who also took his life. I did not know him personally, but know his partner well. So many people were there to farewell him that we could not all fit into the chapel. It...

Gosh, that's sad. :(

Thanks evand and skater for your thoughts - much appreciated. My current car is a Toyota so I can well attest to their reliability. My little old Corolla has served me well for eleven years but the occasional 'blips' are now making me nervous. Time for another car for sure, and possibly...

Could you please explain the reasoning behind not leasing? Funny you should say this - these are the makes I had narrowed my search to!

Hi Everyone, Sorry that I just disappeared into thin air for a few days - my access to the net is a bit limited at the moment. Thanks for all of your ideas - I am taking everything on board and appreciate your thoughts. It seems like buying a used car is definitely the consensus. No...

Hi Everyone, I hope it's OK for me to post this here in the Coffee Lounge. :) After a decade of study I have finally decided to get myself a job and I've found myself a wonderful role that couldn't be better. The only one hurdle is that it is a fair distance away - a 140km round trip - and...

Hey Simon, Definitely check out Intrepid Travel. I have travelled with them twice and found it excellent both times. They travel in small groups only and the other travellers are usually of all ages and nationalities. They run a range of different trips, but I'd recommend one where you are...

OK, so that is a resounding 'YAY' for Frankston South so I will have to go and check out some rentals and see what I can find. Thanks again for all of your opinions. I welcome anyone here with an IP in the area to PM me with details if they wish. I am looking for a minimum of 3 bedrooms...

Thanks everyone for taking the time to give me your opinions - I really appreciate it. It all sounds great from what you say! Are there any parts of Frankston South that are better to live in than other parts? I really don't know the area at all. Or any parts that you would avoid for reasons...

Hi Everyone, Due to a change in circumstances I now need to move somewhere between the Mornington Peninsula and Hawthorn! :) Roughly half way would be nice, which looks to be around the Frankston/Seaford area. I don't need to live anywhere too fancy, but somewhere reasonably nice (and safe)...
