Thanks, I live in Vic and have never seen this...

Still waiting on a promised bucket of federal money offered from a rep from the NDIS to cover medical costs back in Sept

It's now October...

We flightless birds love to help out our Australian cuzzies

Thank you!

I'll be gracing your shores in Christmas

Which part? I live in Auckland.

Queenstown in the south island, my daughter is addicted to luging

It's beautiful there. Good luge in Rotorua too (North Island)

We alternate so the last time we did the north island (Auckland, Rotorua and towns in between). So this time we are doing Queenstown and Fjordland...

Pack some warm clothes as well as lighter ones. It can be cold there even in Summer.

Yep! last time there was fog and drizzle in the middle of summer!! but the scenery is to die for

To die for especially in Queenstown. It is a breathtakingly beautiful place, I would love to see it from a helicopter. It has become very pricy and there is bad feeling here about American multimillionaires boosting the prices and buying land there. Some of them are a bit too close to the government here for the comfort of the citizenry, they get citizenship after brief visits to the country in unprecedented ways and against the rules. Sigh. However the era of crony capitalism, kickbacks etc has hopefully ended here this week and we now enter an era of less corruption.

Yes took a ferry ride around the lake, a lot of very expensive holiday homes, probably not unusual but now that you mention it likely to be the abode of the aforementioned millionaires

A few kiwi multis live there. But Peter Theil has been a particular concern for those of us who like our governments to be above corruption. http://www.newshub.co.nz/home/new-zeala ... nship.html

We have a similar problem except all out prime real estate is being put on the open market for foreign buyers from East Asia. House auctions are almost exclusively agents with buyers on cell phone from their condos in Hong Kong, Shanghai or Singapore.

Even in the quaint neighborhood I live in only one of my neighbors actually speaks English.

Money laundering laws are more "flexible" here and it has been a huge problem - Chinese money is washed via inflated prices paid for real estate. The now gone government denied it (of course) and bribes were no doubt paid for that denial, to some of our highest officials.
