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

    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.

    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.

     

    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?

    Possum Magic (aussie.zone)
     

    My kid brought this home from their school library today. Way out here in the desert southwest of the United States. I think it’s a neat piece of Aussie culture that I did not expect to find here.

    My question is: does this book hold any particular cultural cachet for Australians, similar to like the Hungry Caterpillar book by Eric Carle or others?

    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?
