    So I became an Aussie citizen earlier this year but haven't yet applied for my Aussie passport. if I travel out of the country on my uk passport do I need to update my visa/citizenship info with anyone? Or will my uk passport identify me as a dual citizen? Or am I better to make sure I get an Aussie passport to avoid any confusion?

    That's a relief! Awesome. Thank you.

    I am having a baby! :jiggy:and I have just been invited to my citizenship ceremony (a few days before my due date.) My partner is Australian. Will my baby be a dual national like me if I take my Aussie citizenship before he/she is born? or will they only be Australian? I would like for them to be able to freely travel/work in the UK if they choose to. So wondering if I need to delay my citizenship if that makes a difference to them.

    We're on the back row. hoping it books out... Tickets are selling much slower than the live shows. Haha.

    Yes thinks it's a bit poor that they don't tour out this way.... After all, their biggest fan (Me!) lives here. im hoping there's a good crowd at the cinema so we can get excited and have a dance. Not sure I'd be able to sit in my seat with a box of popcorn. This current tour looks awesome. So colourful! i went to the last 3 tours (several times).... All since they got back together. i was 13 when they split up and I never got to see them back in the day. Wish I had. ...and I've met Gary Barlow at a book signing too. Love love love!

    Calling all Take That fans! The cinema tickets to see Take That (not so) Live are on sale with event cinemas Marion. showing 7pm 22nd July. It will be a recording from their current tour, which is being shown LIVE across the UK and Europe cinemas on 16th June. Due to the Aussie time differences we apparently have to wait over a month to see it. Go Figure! Hay-Ho! I'm still excited for it! So dust of your dancing shoes and book your tickets! Hoping to get a fun audience in there! Lauren

    Hello All, Hope you've had a Merry Xmas. So lucky me is off to Bali for the New Year and want to get some currency tomorrow. In the UK there were comparison websites so you knew whether you were best to go to M&S or the PostOffice for your holiday spends. I'm wondering if anyone knows of anything similar here? or perhaps just knows from experience who generally has the better rates... Thanks xx

    Hello, I'm going on a little visit back to the UK. Does anyone know if I can still use the nhs if I have been Aussie resident for 2 years? if not any recommendations for good (but cheap) travel insurance? Thanks

    Thanks Dan, I happen to have a flyer for them in front of me. I will give them a call tomorrow.

    Hey guys, I am hoping to be able to do a self move (between Moana and Somerton Park) whenever we moved in the UK we could easily hire a transit van. Here they seem to offer either little commercial vans, trailers, utes or trucks. Does anybody know anywhere that hires transit vans? If not I'm worried im going to have to hire a truck which looks a bit scary to drive!!! However do I need a special licence for those?? Thanks, Lauren

    It probably would have been ok if you were looking to come over soon but unfortunately (or happily in the case of me and the new tenants) people have signed to take over the lease shortly, so it is no longer available. Good Luck in your search for somewhere though. How long till you move over? try realestate.com.au and domain.com.au also sometimes worth keeping an eye on gumtree as private landlords often advertise on there.

    Hey guys, Just wondering if anybody has any of their shipping boxes they no longer need as I'm moving. Thanks, Lauren

    Certainly has been stormy out there the last few days!! Was supposed to have someone coming to view today and they didnt show. (not pia people) It was super stormy when they were supposed to come so I have expected to them to call and postpone - I wouldn't have turned out in the middle of it - but no call, no show. Bit annoying! They sounded so keen too. Anyway, still available. http://www.realestate.com.au/property-townhouse-sa-moana-410926863

    It really is beautiful here and yes Sue you most likely will have spotted us out enjoying the balcony most evenings in the warmer months. This time of year though, whilst theres still plenty of days that its nice enough to sit out I love being able to see the sea from the comfort and warmth of the sofa. We have the best view of the incredible sunsets. ... and not forgetting the delicious Deep Blue Cafe next door. A must for anybody whos not been yet. I've had a few enquiries but still looking for new tenants to take over. Sure it will be perfect for someone on here though, and certainly not complaining if I have to stay here and wait a bit longer.

    Hi guys! Just thought I'd share my lease break on here. I have lived here for almost 2 years after being introduced to the landlord by some other fantastic PIA friends. Very sad to be leaving. Such a beautiful location. Will miss watching the dolphins and we even saw a whale the other week. Amazing!!! The townhouse is fully furnished. We had shipped our furniture from the UK but this place is really spacious so have been able to fit both sets of furniture in, and there is also lots of storage so have been able to box and put away some of the landlords things. So could work for you if you have your own furniture already or if you are out here starting all over again. Would suit a professional couple. I am happy to let you view and if you have any questions sing out. Thanks, Lauren

    Still available and looking for a good home.

    For Sale, Suzuki Swift 1995 white. 185000 on the clock $950 ono Just a good AtoB car, no power steering, electric windows or aircon but she'll get you to where you need to be. But its not a heavy car to move about and with the windows down you have natural aircon. Bought last year when we arrived to see us over the first few months, still have her a year later. Good runner has never let us down, but have just had my job made permanent so thought its now time to go our seperate ways. Hoping she may be able to help somebody else out whilst they find their feet here too.

    Thanks, I'll keep an eye on those. :-)

    OH's family are visiting in July. They are flying into Melbourne. We are going to fly over there to meet them then hire a car to drive back here along the Ocean road. Wondering if anybody knows of any hire companies with reasonable oneway rates? We were going to use our frequent flyer points to get to Melbourne but the oneway rates for car hire are really expensive so thinking its may be better to drive both there and back.... unless anyone knows different?
