    Authorities slap Aussies with $500 fee for common practice: 'Bit of a joke, really'

    Agree. I walk my dog through a lovely neighborhood and there is one house that parks up to 5 vehicles in front of the house, three of those vehicles are unregistered and have been there for over a year. The front of the house is a supposed lawn area but looks like a battlefield with deep ruts...

    'You've done it again': Did this gift for a Royal figure cross the line?

    Such a shame that Harry can do so much good using his Royal status but chooses not to because of his love for Meghan. I suppose he is mostly human but I wish he would mend his relationship with his family. It would be just great to have him reinstated as a Prince and for him to use the vast...

    Discover the Shocking 'Crazy' Issue in Aussie Homes That Left an Expat Speechless - Is Your Home at Risk?

    I have come across mould in one of my older homes, particularly in the bathroom where ventilation was a bit restricted. But as they say, "cleanliness is next to Godliness".

    I no longer go camping regularly but a few years back I used to camp many times a year. There was always a great supply of hot and cold water with soaps, shampoo, and deodorant.

    Expat tradie's simple question uncovers hilarious Aussie double-meaning

    I arrived in Aus in 1972 and started my first job as a Mechanical Engineer in September.

    Residents outraged: Could your neighbourhood be next in disturbing 'maggot invasion'?

    Actually, it is not the maggots that smell, it is the rotting food that creates the smell, the poor little maggots are working their non-existent tails off trying to consume the rotting food.

    Looming money overhaul spells danger for cash users! Here's what you can do

    I think sometimes we forget that cash is the legal tender as described in our laws and therefore businesses cannot refuse payment in cash. It is a federal (and Royal) requirement. That is one of the advantages of having the Royal Family as our heads of state. From my days selling motor cars, I...
