Try www.bingle.com.au they are underwritten by AAMI but are only internet based. They will be cheaper - but you might want to think about the insured value as they do have limits.

Try calling the Council - most of them have their own nursery that allows you to purchase local native trees and plants direct for a small cost. Some of the councils even will give you free plants when you provide a copy of your rates notice. Can't hurt to ask them first you might save yourself...

Not sure sorry.

I had a lovely conversation with the OSR yesterday and this is what one person advised :- The limit has been increased for the 07/08 year to $600k The valuations are completed in June of every year however they are not assessed by the OSR in QLD until around October of that year. If you...

Hi Glenn, You can go online or phone the AWM and obtain a copy of your Great Grandfathers service records. The record would provide information regarding where he was posted with dates etc. To obtain this information you will need his full name, DOB and service number - note that some men in...

Interesting....I too have written something similar to Dazzling in recent months. I think that Wylie is right one with this one. Most people come to this forum to learn about investing in real estate and we post our questions looking for assistance and guidance. The majority provide assistance...

I would put some thought into what Simon is saying with the interest only - not only will it free up some money - small but some - that may help you get some work done on the unit sooner rather than later. Help you get into the next one faster. But Congrats and enjoy :)

Maybe he shouldn't have splashed out on that flashy boat :rolleyes:

Hi Brenda, Thought I would throw his one out for everyone - I rang the ATO to ask about the kids with share and totally different from what I thought. So if I buy a parcel of shares for the kids in my name as trustee for the kids the ATO treats it has they are my personal shares as even...

I will get a copy and have a read thanks :) Now if only someone could write that book "How to give your parents a $1 Million"...I'd buy a couple of copies;)

Hi Redquash, Colourbond or timber depends on where you are, but an important note is that Colourbond has a warrenty which is NOT valid if the fence is within 1klm (as the bird flies) of salt water - or at least it was when I did the last one. I spoke with a lovely chap at BHP who said if would...

Had a call from my agent only yesterday saying that this should all be coming online in the early part of next year. I have started to put a few things in place getting my tennants ready for this by making the toilets dual flush, water saver shower heads etc etc. When the changes come through...

Fence was in great condition - the tennant has lived there for the last 9 years. I suppose over time timber fences will eventualy require attention. I have been writing letters and talking to the agent for a while now to try and get it done and they won't budge. As for the other property -...

Simon, Are you saying flyspray for just the stickers or for the kids clothes as well ? I have a lovely little white dress that princess wore whilst gardening yesterday and if I am reading this correctly I am going to try.:p

Thanks I have been looking at that web site. I am pretty sure that the owners just don't care and won't pay - I know that at least one of them has the money. More interested in finding out how long this could take through the tribunal to get it resolved and how long until they would have pay...

Eucalyptus Oil or the spray that you can buy at the supermarket. Works on glue and marks on walls and marks on clothes...The list is endless. Good Luck.

Hi all, I know that this was discussed from a different angle in a recent thread but... has anyone with property in QLD had to force an owner to repair / replace a fence. We have two properties with the same problem. Every time it is mentioned the other owner/real estate agent the reply...

It means that when you go to visit the inlaws with a child that wakes up at 5am Sydney time he wakes at 4am QLD time which by the way is light :) by 5am sunny :0)

Funny...I went shopping on the weekend for the same thing. My TV passed away so it was time to update:D I could not believe the size of some of these TV's...anyway the largest one was a plasma and it was awful. Because of the size of the screen the picture was not the best and the chap said...

Have started putting the rents up slightly and may increase again in 6mths.
