This fuel costs as little at 80c a litre in Australia. So why isn't everyone using it? in c/australia@aussie.zone

The Shell by the Brisbane Airport has lpg

Had some house made pho and the kids monopolized the pool and trampoline

Refrigerated mango and rock melon. It’s too hot for anything warm

That’s incredibly comprehensive! Thank you so much for that!

Yeah, feel free to disregard my question. I was being lazy. My apologies 🙏

TIL, thanks!

Is there any sort of official bike trail map available, or is it all mostly relying on g-maps or Apple Maps these days?

Once I can get my grom outdoors and hopefully riding a bicycle, we’ll be able to explore a bit more

I love me some Hypermarket, but that collection of intersections is trash. I can’t imagine trying to ride a bicycle through there

Partner made a chiffon cake yesterday for a trifle we’re bringing to our neighbors’ New Year’s Eve dinner. House made custard and whipped cream too. Blueberries and strawberries from the local Colesworths though.

Yeah nah, I was definitely surprised to see this in the store. I’m sure there’ll be some opinions on whether or not that’s legit Vegemite or some shady impostor

That’s… impressively comprehensive. Many thanks!

Proper Vegemite Application (aussie.zone)
 

So, vegemite is growing on me. What is your preferred method for consumption? Big drizzle on toast? Hidden in a mound of jam? Look at it occasionally while it collects dust in the back of the pantry?

Damn you all and your bloody Tim Tams in c/foodaustralia@aussie.zone

It’s on my to-do list, for sure. So far those lovely choccy biccies get devoured well before they are able to get close to the tea and coffee

Ouch. Naturally, we’re going to have to sample all the different flavors.

I’m going to go bankrupt buying these damn things.

Preferred Internet Providers (aussie.zone)
 

My apologies for spamming questions. Oz is just enough different from the US to make the transition a bit complex.

We managed to score a rental in Mcdowall.

Looking at the plethora of providers.

Are there any providers to be avoided at all costs? Providers that are totally awesome?

I’d prefer to have the highest speeds possible, and the NBN thing says the place we will be renting has the hybrid fiber coaxial connection available.

First stops for new residents? (aussie.zone)
 

So, we make landfall in about 18 days. We’re effectively starting fresh.

I absolutely will need at the minimum a basic coffee maker to assist me in remaining human. We’ll also need a ton of usb wall adapters.

We’re planning on taking it easy the day we land, but we’ll hit the ground running hopefully the day after.

Initially we’re staying in Stones Corner, but we’re also open to exploring.

Where do you recommend for picking up basic home goods to get up and running?

Banking as an expat (aussie.zone)
 

We’re working on setting up the ability to spend money easily in Australia. We’re looking at Wise for transfers and starting to live in Aus. As we roll into collecting pay, are there any banks or credit unions that are recommended or actively discouraged from using?

Moving to Brisbane: what do I need to watch out for? (aussie.zone)
 

Accepted a job in Brisbane. Moving from the Southwest US.

Apparently Grace Removals will be shipping our stuff.

We have a kid that’ll be eligible for 1st year in January. Public or private school?

How did the housing market get so bonkers?

Am I going to have to bring extra ketchup through customs for my kid, or is the tomato sauce close enough to make an easy switch?
